Why's the idea of our tallest player doing time at 5 - who's clearly our 3rd strongest guy (not counting Triplet) — WHY

is that somehow a hard concept to swallow for some here?

Particularly when you're talking about a guy who unlike Fouss & Keba — has to be guarded on the perimeter?

Any word on Bosko?

He's great. Eligible as a junior this year.

Should play tonight. Maybe as our starting 4 or 5.

Starting 4 or 5??

Playing Catchings, Demin & Richie in the same lineup definitely opens the possibility for Mihailo as a 5.

he doesn't like to bang. I doubt we see him at 5 very often. Just depending on

Defensively he is physical, though. I think part of the reason he chose KY is to improve as an interior player.

SinkingQuffa

What makes you think that? That's not what I've seen.

I'd be mildly shocked if he started

I did throw a "maybe" in there, didn't I? I'm not expecting him to start necessarily, either.

SinkingQuffa

Maybe he'll start as the point guard

Just my opinion....Bosko entered the exhibition game with like 5 minutes left

BYUheaven

I think it had more to do with 2. Clearly, imo. But we shall see. To me he's our only natural 4 (till Kanon fills out)

SinkingQuffa

and if it is #2 that means he has not been running with the #1's in practice

BYUheaven

Probably right. But does that make my original post wrong?

SinkingQuffa

It's not hard for me to swallow. I just thought your comment of "I did throw a

That I only "maybe" thought Bosko might start tonight? Is that news-worthy to explore? Shoot.

SinkingQuffa

10:03am

Not news-worthy. Just very funny.

RyneK

11:55am

Ha. Maybe I'll "throw" a word out there for you too down the road, then.

I'm really curious to see how this will play out

Good thoughts. I agree. Mag complicates the logjam in ways very similar to Richie. As much as many were calling Mag a 4

No matter how you slice it, someone is going to have to fall out of the rotation

tacallaway

I think many are mindful of Fouss. And they should be. Fans gotta understand a HC could value a 8-10 min role VERY much

SinkingQuffa

9:52am

I agree, I think Fous is potentially on the bubble.

tacallaway

9:55am

KY strikes me as a guy who's been straight-shooting w Fouss from the start on what to expect.

SinkingQuffa

10:01am

All that and by the time Fous comes back around to full health, someone else

Absolutely. Some match-ups will demand more minutes from him, too. Some nights we'll really need pts in the paint.
