Since Bilo returned, I'm 99.9999% sure those three haven't been on the court at the same time.
So, if Mara starts, who sits?
Cronin is playing those 3 guys in the two 4/5 spots. Mara 5, Dailey 4, and Bilo as a 4 or 5 depending on who he's paired with. I really like that, as it keeps 2 scoring big guys on the floor almost all the time. We could have 2 of those 3 on the floor at all times. If we did that, they would cumulatively average a very manageable 27 minutes per game.
But, Cronin wants to get Kyle some minutes. And, maybe Laz is playing as a 4 sometimes? I haven't paid attention to that.
I like the scoring balance of going 3 guys in the 2 spots.
Cronin has said you Dailey can't guard 3's. I'll have to take his word on that.
So, if Mara starts, who's coming off? Dailey or Bilo? Johnson leads the team in rebounds, assists, and steals. Skyy is our best pg, and our best pg defender. So, Andrews? That forces Dailey to be a 3, and forces Johnson to be a 2. I'm not against Mara starting, but how do you do it?
