I think we have the two freshmen starting unless Cole get his waiver. The other guys should come off the bench

Guys got to chill - it's August. My only beef is Hymes as a 2 and MW logging heavy minutes. it's not going to work and you don't have to be Einstein to see it ... August or not.

Give it time.. its one week into Wright's career.. they are playing 24 second shot clock-- really in one week how many plays do you think they have in? I remember a lot of you guys bitching about Ubiles when he went scoreless his first college game- calling for him to be benched. He only turned out to be one of the top 3 or 4 players ever to play at Siena Wright is forced to take some shots as shot clock is expiring This trip is great..Jimmy is playing a lot of player many min, getting a good look at team, trust me the team will get a lot out of this trip -- only guy disappointing to me so far is Silas--we have got next to nothing from him-- but its two games in August I am in no way ready to give up on him either

Why are people getting on Hymes? He's the one shooting 50%.

But I agree the team is very young and inexperienced, little to no college experience, new coach and system--I'm extremely happy so far..this team will be worlds better in two months

I think that, barring injury, Wright is going to average at least 30 minutes a game at the point this season. This seems like a lot, but he is clearly the best option. He is going to be a very special player, in my estimation.
Hymes should be his backup, and he is as good a backup point as you could hope to have. He'll get minutes at the 2 as well, of course, because he can score. I think Hymes will end up backing up both positions.

Lavon plays the 1 in practice...Rothstein saw it and tweeted about it....Patsos needs him to crash the boards though Lavon is not a 1! He maybe helpful as another ball handler breaking the press. If JP plans on playing MW for 35 minutes that's poor coaching. Hymes is not a 2. It's as bad a lineup as PWs Brookins and Hymes combo. Patsos does not agree with you...watch the interview ...and I watched him do it opposite Hymes and Wright on both sides of the ball...Lavon can do more than bring the ball up...he can run an offense...whether or not he does it for Siena is up to Patsos...this is very early and Patsos is figuring it out as are the players....no need to panic

The game winner happened because Wright slipped. I'm just getting back and looking at this stuff. Sounds like Wright is really struggling with the short shot clock and is rushing.
Jimmy is toying with lineups and things right now. So people shouldn't overreact. Hymes only played 23 minutes today. If he played 8 mins behind Wright, then that means he only played 15 mins at the SG. So we had a 6-3+ guys there for 25 mins today. Why is everyone on Hymes' defense?
Audu played 22 mins and Oliver 19. Jimmy is just playing around right now. Only thing is Wright has all the pressure on him right now.

Regarding Silas, he only played 10 minutes today, yet wasn't in foul trouble and committed 2 turnovers (not awful). Jimmy spread the minutes around a whole lot, obviously trying to learn more about this team. He's a smart guy.

So far Wright is averaging 3.5 steals. That's about what he averaged in HS. He's very heads up judging by the highlights and catches people napping. I think with the full 35, he'll be able to settle down more on offense.

I don't think we could say with any certainty that Wright would get 35+ minutes if this were a regular-season game. As a freshman point guard, it's important to frontload his college experience in these scrimmages. Once the games start counting, I could see Hymes getting more like 9-10 minutes at the point.

I agree that Wright has all of the pressure on him playing all those minutes ..Patsos has decided to let him learn on the job..Wright will be the pg for the next 4 years ....this is a big part of his preparation

The kid can get to the rim, draw fouls, and force turnovers. Once he gets chemistry and that historically good assist ratio finds him again he should be fine and we'll take a big jump as a team. These kids are playing with only a few practices under their belts, learning a new coach and new system, playing with different rules in a foreign country against teams who get to practice year round.
