Jaxson Robinson is our best player. He needs to start every game. I predict this

Why does it matter if he starts?

Why not bring Steph curry off the bench then by the same logic?
StraightOuttaOrem
12/6/23 12:42am
What "same logic" do you mean?
yahtzee
12/6/23 12:43am
You’re saying why does he need to start. It’s like asking why Steph needs to
StraightOuttaOrem

But he already has top 5 minutes. Why does it matter?

There are more shots available with the second unit than with the first.

Saying ginobli was better than Duncan and Parker is a bold take. Remember, the

Many said John Havlicek was best player for NBA Champ Celtics. Red Auerbach's "best 6th man in the world" came off bench

I also think he fits in with Saunders and Akili so well. They each know their roles.

Singular focus on points scored can give u blinders.
Cougarbib

So using your logic…

Nope. His logic is way simpler. Your best player should start. I cant think

Yes. This.

Starters play the most minutes. And for our team I see him more as a Steph type
StraightOuttaOrem

Apparently not always?

He already plays the most minutes. At least top 3 on the team
LifeLongLakerFan
12/6/23 1:03am
Top 3 isn't the most. #1 would be the most.
boctabulous
12/6/23 7:17am
Thank you, Big Ute. I didn't think I needed to explain that
LifeLongLakerFan

He either plays the most minutes or doesn't. You said he plays the most minutes

True. By less than one minute. And he didn't play that one half

You're right. If we start him, we can work around that rule that says under no

What does that have to do with the price of chocolate milk in Provo???

You're applying NBA logic to the college game.
CaughtForaTouchdown
12/6/23 9:22am
That’d probably work fine with the right game plan.
canofpicante

Because it likely matters to him

I don’t really understand why it’s important that all the best players “start”.

Why? He comes in at the 14 minute mark and never comes out. Pope likes his

I don't know why so many on CB are getting hung up on that - it doesn't matter

You don't think Pope knows the talent and value of Robinson?

Jax is being played very effectively. Obviously.

Would johnson or waterman be coming off the bench if Robinson was starting?

Probably Knell

You can read above. But as a starter he would get even more minutes. Hopefully

because maybe those extra minutes have a tradeoff. maybe he is playing the

You do not have to play the first minute to still get top five minute amounts

Maybe. But think of how famous Jax could become if he's the leading scorer on a top 10 team, from the bench! Remember

He's currently our best scorer. Best player is debatable.

Forzaitalia
12/6/23 12:00pm
Doubt minutes will change at all for major rotation players when Jax starts. Hall & Knell will play same amount.
roseyscenario
12/6/23 12:18pm
Could well be right. My theory is you don't want Knell & Hall playing too long
Forzaitalia
12/6/23 12:42pm
Hall is plenty fast and laterally quick. Can be paired with anyone.
Big Daddy D
12/6/23 2:25pm
Slower than Trey and Jaxson and Richie.
Forzaitalia
12/6/23 2:34pm
He defends with more quickness than Jaxson does. JR might be faster but
Big Daddy D
12/6/23 4:19pm
As most coaches will tell you, good D is effort. JR needs better effort. And
Forzaitalia
12/6/23 4:26pm
Trey is still a liability on offense. Not the ridiculous liability he was last
Cougarbib
12/6/23 4:46pm
Great list but your “make smart plays” example made me laugh
Big Daddy D
12/7/23 12:43pm
I agree with you on all that. Hall fights through the high pick really well.
Big Daddy D
12/7/23 12:41pm
Trust Pope with the team chemistry on the floor. His minutes aren't bad.
Yes
12/6/23 9:47am
Maybe he’s the best because he comes off the bench. Who knows. And I don’t really care. Just keep winning.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Us fans really find anything to complain about.

There’s more to strategy than put your best scorers on the floor first.
