Change my mind - our bench needs to play!
- Thread starter allfourcy
- Start date
McKay has fouled out two games straight hasn't he? Burton seems to get 2 fouls in the first ten minutes of every game. They are most foul prone along with Niang.
Burton Fouls
WVU - 3
TCU - 1
Baylor - 5 (OT)
Texas - 0
Texas Tech - 4 (OT)
Okie State - 1
What games would you have liked to see them play more? When you are struggling to put away Arkansas-Pine Bluff and Coppin State with your regular rotation it doesnt bode well for getting bottom of the rotation players alot of minutes.
Our non-conference schedule was no cupcake and didnt setup well to develop alot of bench guys. There might have been 2 or 3 games total in early December/late November where Prohm would even feel comfortable getting the bench involved heavily.

Its ok we have fans willing to trade losses in those games for the chance to maybe win a game now.
Not as bad as I thought though. Burton doesn't seem built for more than 30 minutes a game though either
He's been much better as of late. What minutes would you like to see down the stretch?
Not when he first started but he has looked good that last couple games getting big minutes
His best game of his career he played 38, granted it was against a bad TCU team. I do agree he probably needs to hover around 30 mpg. There will be games he plays more out of necessity and games he plays less due to foul trouble.
No I agree. I think 30 minutes is his max. Look at the Baylor game late.
We all remember the Burton from early on that looked like a tornado of teeth and fists coming off the bench but since he's started logging starters minutes @ Okie State he's played a lot "cleaner."
What about Jameel? If he plays 25-30 mpg you're pretty much agreeing with the minutes I posted earlier
