ThisNo way he's 100% yet, with the thumb - you can tell his shot is being affected a bit by his FTs - so I'd have him come off the bench until his thumb is better, but once it's better, he starts.
thumb bothers himDidn't appear to be hampered by the thumb. His mere presence on the court looks important to me.
McConnell needs to continue getting more minutes, too, for his development.Regardless I think he plays a smaller roll than he did previously. That's not a knock on him but this team plays best when no one is the focal point and everyone is pitching in. His minutes may decrease slightly. Need to find minutes for Young and Mulcahy too
Who would he replace? Caleb?
Mathis (26 minutes), McConnell (29 minutes), Young (21 minutes), Baker (22 minutes), Mulcahy (18 minutes). Beat Minnesota by 8. Seems about right to me currently. Could care less who "starts".
I think on the road the 1st 10 possessions are very important.

I hope....Last 10 are more important.
He really never goes left anyway. Only time he does is when he is going into his step backHe hasn't been going to his left. That thumb is still not right.
The other question/concern i have......should Geo be playing at all? Is there a risk involved?
I am not a doctor.
With the amount of time missed I'm sure it was just a hairline fracture and no real risk of anything. There would be no reason to force Geo back if there wasI assume that
(a) Geo, Steve, and the team's doctors have made an informed decision and
(b) The downside risk on a broken thumb is just, like, a more broken thumb and not anything life or career threatening.
Kinda side with FIG on this one. We dont want to start in a hole especially on the road to the best offensive team in the conference. We have people calling for Myles to not start also. People are over thinking it. Don't want to start the game with Geo Myles and Young all on the bench. If we start the game well anyway it would look great but if we go down 10-2 you put the team in a bad position right from the jump. There is a reason teams start their best players.
I am fine with Geo not starting until hes healthy though
I hope....
1st 4 minutes of game, last 4 minutes of 1st half, 1st 4 minutes of 2nd half and last 4 minutes of the game are 16 minutes where you probably have the opponents best lineup on the floor.
I would agree if this was a normal roster. The 6th through 9th players might be as good as 1 thru 5.....so the minutes 5 through 10 of each have are OWNED by RU now.
