What do you think:

C - Corhen 20, GDG 10, Kante 10
PF - Austin 30, GDG 10
G - Leggett 32 Jorge or Delalic 8
G - Dunn 25 Cummings 15
G - Lowe 34 Dunn 5

If Corhen and GDG arent going to rebound, I think we need to go smaller more.
 
That's basically what I've been calling for. There are just too many matchups that are unfavorable for GDG.

You know things are bad when Vader runs away from the board to bury his head in the sand, as opposed to playing "I told ya so" with Kante, etc.

I dont really agree that he is out of place at the 4. We play in the ACC, not the SEC. I just think that Austin and Dunn have to be playing 30+ and the minutes have to come from someone. If GDG and Corhen arent going to rebound particularly well, you need to put more offense out there. I'd also want to see if Kante can earn some of Corhen's minutes. The thing with Corhen, though, is he is pretty good offensively.
 
I think Delalic is out of the rotation at this point. Unless it’s a comfortable lead. He hasn’t show he can defend or adjust to the pace and his ball handling is just too loose and turnover prone.

What's a matchup he excels at? He's not fast. He isn't smooth; he's awkward as can be, in fact. He's as thin as a rail. I mean, yeah - he can probably handle some scrub from BC or Stanford. But it's embarrassing against better competition.

We dont play anyone other than Duke that creates a significant matchup problem.

Did you not just watch the Louisville game? The lineup should be to bring in Kante at the 5 and start Cohen at the 4, if you are going to start with big lineup.

Its quite clear to see, that all Kante needs is more playing time. He is the most physical of the bigs, and he may not always grab the RB, but he does compete and bats the ball out to paremiter if he cant.

The one major issue is to try and get more movement in the offense, and have less if both Lowe and Legett dribble and drving. Legett is really killung the team, because he is not looking to pass when he drives. So all teams are doing is collasping when he does, because they know he is not going pass. Lowe should be the driver and Legett should be the receiver. These last few games Lwgett is just throwing his body around. It ends up either a TO, or a force shot.

Correct - acting like GDG is "fine" against anybody not named Duke is whistling past the graveyard. He and Cohren are the weakest 4/5 combo we've had in a while.

I'm not sure what is up with Ish in these last couple. They are 2 of the worst games he's played in a Pitt uniform. He seems to have forgotten he has teammates and he is getting himself into tough spots where he is prone to turnovers. He has to get back to a team game.
In fact, we need to move the ball on offense and stop having 4 guys stand still and watch the driver. Capel has work to do. He assembled enough talent to have a good team, but now he has to get them to play as a team at both ends. Against the better teams, we haven't played winning basketball.

I think Jorge has replaced what we hoped to get out Amsal -- the quick trigger three on the wing.

Jorge has to play more but I dont know how. He's shooting 57% from 3, which would lead the nation but obviously doesnt have enough attempts.

Let the coaches know what you decide!!
 
Kante 15 Corhen 15 GDG 10
Austin 30 GDG 10
Jorge 25 Dunn 15
Leggett 32 Cummings 8
Lowe 34 Dunn 6

Jorge needs to play a lot. He's shooting 62% from 3. Corhen and Dunn need to play a loy less. Its time to see what they have with Kante. Corhen aint it.
