Udeh is making too many mistakes and isn't as good a rebounder right now. Give me Ejiofor.

Ejiofor looking good on both ends, cleaning up the boards as well.

I had to go give my son a bath. MJ Rice had like 5 points when I walked away.

WTF happened?
[Reply]

I’ve hoped he could provide scoring pop off the bench like Remy last year.

Remember how dangerous Ben Gordon was off the bench for the Bulls? Sorta like that.

They need to solve the KJ Adams problem by conference play. And if it isn't going to happen with the bigs, maybe it can happen with him (by playing the small lineup with Wilson at the 5 assuming Rice is a legit offensive option).

Udeh looks like a great rebounder and normally it turns out so

(Jamari Traylor one exception)

Right now, Ejifor looks a little better to me.

KJ: 16 def boards 180 min

I bet Harris has more

I really don't understand why he isn't starting to be honest.
[Reply]

I'm sure he will be, but Ejiofor's rebounding numbers are ridiculous right now (24.1 OR% and 35.7 OR% compared to Udeh's 5.3 OR% and 18.3 DR%). That would lead the country if he played enough minutes to qualify.

Here’s my ideal lineup right now:

Starters:

Harris
Dick
McCullar
Wilson
Zuby

Bench (in order):
Rice
Yesufu/Pettiford (depending on who is playing better at that moment)
Udeh
Adams

I don’t see any promise in Clemence right now. Would love to be wrong, but he doesn’t seem to fit.

I’d like to see KJ Adams in a role similar to last year. Limited, energy big. Good for a few nice moments, but that’s really it. It’s on Zuby and Udeh to take the spot from him and leave no doubt. If there’s doubt, Self will stick with Adams.
[Reply]

I'm right with you. That's exactly the way I see it.
[Reply]

Cant disagree with any of that. I was hopeful Clemence would take a big leap, but in the back of my mind I always knew he wasn't really the type of big that thrives around here. Adams is very valuable as a spark off the bench and if there is a mismatch he needs to guard. We saw it a few times last year and he fit that role very well.
[Reply]

KJ has a 9.1 DR%, which is worse than Gradey Dick. He is awful at the defensive boards and that has killed us in a lot of games so far.

Self continues playing him because he's the only one not making mistakes out there but that won't be good enough against better teams.
