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

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?

What "same logic" do you mean?

You’re saying why does he need to start. It’s like asking why Steph needs to

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

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

Singular focus on points scored can give u blinders.

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

Apparently not always?

He already plays the most minutes. At least top 3 on the team

Top 3 isn't the most. #1 would be the most.

Thank you, Big Ute. I didn't think I needed to explain that

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 applying NBA logic to the college game.

That’d probably work fine with the right game plan.

Because it likely matters to him

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

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?

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

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

Great list but your “make smart plays” example made me laugh

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.
