Playing Time

I want them playing 30-33 MPG and so does Pike. Most of their energy bar is going to (should be) depleted on the other end of the floor. I will admit I have been so far mildly disappointed with non Ace and Dylan new guys while Ace and Dylan have so far exceeded my expectations. Asking for more than 36 from them is a lot, especially if I am limiting minutes.

If I am the opposing coach I know with Hayes on the floor I can exploit Hayes on the offensive end.

And on the other end Hayes is a threat to exploit the defense (especially if it craters towards Ace/Dylan).
It goes both ways.

Except JMike and JWill haven't held up their end of the defensive margin while also not adding to the defense.

Guess who were 2 of the only 3 players to have a negative +/- a against Merrimack?
Hint - it wasn't Hayes.

You didn't answer:
How are you defending Ace, Dylan, JWill, JMike, Ogbole?

Playing Time

Three takes that I have that are not consensus and Pike at this point doesn't agree
1. Ogbole is our best option most nights against real teams at the 5. Only Merrimack game was this evident
2. JWill should have the ball in his hands more as almost the primary PG with Dylan spending a lot of time off the ball
3. Ace as a 18 year old right now is best as a center on this team
1. Ok
2. Absolutely insanity (top 5 lottery pick at pg and take the ball out of his hands for Jwill? Can not create or shoot or stay on his feet)
3. Ace is Durant 2.0 and will not bang at the 5 but you may be right it lengthens the lineup.
