If Fully Healthy Minutes

Hopefully we can get Nate and AG back to full health by the time March Madness begins. I actually think that our current starters are our best offensive lineup. If we wanted a bigger/more defensive lineup, Mensah in and Schakel out would be our best IMO. What amount of minutes would we like to see from each player...or to take it a step further, how many minutes per position per player would we like to see? Here's what I'd roughly like to see:

C - Wetzell 20; Mensah 20
PF - Mitchell 15; Arop 15; Wetzell 10
SF - Schakel 25; Mitchell 15
SG - Flynn 35; Seiko 5
PG - Feagin 30; Pulliam 10

Against beefier teams, I'd say Mensah goes up to 25 and Schakel down to 20 (with Wetzell and Mitchell sliding down to the next positions).

That looks like a team that could do some serious damage in the tourney! Just hoping we are at full strength come March 19!

think the coaches will evaluate how much AG and Nathan will be able to contribute as they get healthier . Dutcher did say in the UT 2/15 that he is Not pleased with the defensive effort the last few games . He was happy to get the W's but Team does need to play better Defense and hit the boards .

We will see how much AG can contribute - do need his defense and rebounding . Same is true with Nathan if he is able to get healthy and make contributions . We have also had problems getting into foul trouble and that does mean guys sitting more then we might hope and others playing more . As Dutcher has also said guys may need to be a little more careful about making their first foul or even their second .

Also MW T - Hopefully we are playing 3 games in 3 days that does affect PT - going to need more contributions from the reserves . Do think Dutcher is going to try to win the last 4 games of the regular season but also try to give some PT to the reserves that will be needed for the MW T and beyond .

Defense and rebounding are still a very important parts of our game and helps us get the W's . So AG and possibly Nathan become very valuable . Or guys that can contribute in those areas .
