Roster chess

Need to improve the defense, offensive scheme and Wiggins has to be tougher but I like what this roster is when you look at it raw. Lillard and Fox led us in scoring today. 2 weeks ago they weren't playing. That's balance. Some thoughts

1. Lillard might be our best player and mitigates the issue of our guards just putting their heads down and trying to score. He is one of our top 5 players (and could be our best player) but should he start? Starters don't really matter in the grand scheme, but if we are going to have him in at the end of the game who sits? At times this year Frye and Turner have been our best player. If you bench Koch that takes away some much needed size.

2. We didn't play hardly any of our bench today. Cummings, Uju, Plowden and Gadson have to improve to the point where they can be trusted for minutes. Cummings and Plowden have flashed talent specifically.

3. Not sure if it was done intentionally or because of fouls but Fox for Koch was a perfect swap out today. Spread the floor for a big team and he was fire against the zone. We won because of that today.

What were Wiggins stats today?missed 1st part of game on ESPN3 today, but he looked pretty good vs. EMU's big guy ( who I believe was an all MAC last year).

He was ok today for sure. Much better than recent. He still stumbles when he is bodied and his hands are stone. He is so close to being a complete stud. Just frustrating.
