You’d think L would’ve figured out what works and what doesn’t by now, but he’s still messing around with different rotations every game and hasn’t figured out that this team needs to go small and embrace the freshmen guards.
Divine absolutely has to be the starting PG going forward. Continue to elevate Schwartz’s role. Bethea has been an epic disappointment so far, but it’s too soon to give up on him. Have to play him more than 8 minutes a game.
No more Kidd and Johnson together. Pick one or the other depending on matchups. Only spot minutes for Staton McCray. Reduce Pack’s minutes considerably and have him play solely off the ball. No more PT for Djobet, he’s truly horrendous. And I’m not sure what to do with Cleveland and Blackmon at this point.
What’s crazy is L’s best teams have had zero depth, sometimes rotating just 6 or 7 guys. Yet this team plays 10+ guys, and it’s not working at all. L needs to reduce the rotation significantly, for the sake of cohesion at the least. I’m not sure we’ll see more wins this way, but might as well ride with the young guys and stop rewarding some of the half assed veterans on this team.
