Why Is It

[Radiated]

Tubby plays Porter andStevenson in the first half of games, but doesn't play them in the second half?

Probably because Ramel and Sheray have been playing so well.

You can't take Ramel out of the game for long, especially down the stretch. When Jasper goes out, you almost have to move Bradley to the point. He's become the team's most important player, and that cuts down on Michael's minutes.

I'm not sure about Stevenson. I do think he should get more PT. But really, the only game I've seen where Sheray really should have been pulled in the second half was the Georgia game. Most of the time in the last month or so, we've needed Sheray in the game late.

Perhaps its an experience issue? I'm not that sure. Porter shouldnt really be playing anymore than he is, we have four strong guards that should fill the three spots for 40 minutes.

If we don't get jai I would like to see porter move to the1 next year (assuming Jasper develops some sort of offensive side). If we do pick him up than porter might not see all that much PT next year.

As for stevenson... he should be getting more time, however Tubby mightbe noticing that he is slacking a little in practice. If so by any stretch of the rumor then he shouldnt be playing.

I'd like to see PS put some weight on over the summer.... a lot .... He is getting pushed off the glass like a ragdoll right now. His athleticism and lankiness is keeping him in tha game but man could this kid be good if he put some meat on his bones.

I'm guessing that he uses them in the first half to get them some game experience and to rest thestarters.In the second half, when there's less room for error,he probably wants themore experienced players on the floor.I know I do. ;)

Agree 100% with NC Cat.

I think it is simple. He keeps their feet wet and gives some minutes early so if there is a problem down the road they don't come in completely cold to the game. Porter is having a hard time with the speed of the game, decision making and protecting the ball right now. He works all the time he is in there, but he is not anticipating on defense or offense, as much as he will in the future.

because they both can play brilliant at times but the other times they are shaky and definitely dont need any ? during crunch time
