Not saying this should be the starting lineup, but I’d love to see this group on the floor for 8 minutes. Kennedy Reeves Fleming Felder Jitoboh
<joke>Best white starting five. At center either Mikan or the year that Bill Walton had an awesome NBA year with Portland. Power forward is Kevin McHale. Small forward is Larry Bird. Shooting guard is Jerry West. PG is Steve Nash. Sorry. You meant Mike White starting five. My bad.</joke>
Would all of those guys be in Mike White’s rotation, or would some of them have to transfer to succeed?
The Florida players making the most turnovers: 35 TO - Castleton 32 TO - Appleby 20 - Jones 20 - Flemming 20 - McKassic ================================================= In order to try to minimize the turnovers, I would initially bench both Castleton & Appleby and start the game by going "big" in both the front-court & backcourt with the following line-up just to shake things up and also to utilize much more of the bench (i.e, move Fleming to the 2 and see how he operates from there): C: 6'11 305 J. Jitoboh PF: 6'7 231 CJ Felder SF: 6'7 209 A. Duruji SG: 6'5 205 P. Flemming PG: 6'3 185 B. McKassic Note: Both Felder & Duruji are 45%+ from long-range! I would give Mckassic more minutes at the point and see if he can get the front-court going without committing as many turnovers like the Appleby/Castleton duo! ================================================== 1st Substitutions (after 5 min) will add more fire-power off the bench. Mike White could either go to the "4-Guard offense" or keep some of the above starters in a more traditional line-up (i.e C/PF/SF utilizing Felder/Duruji/Fleming/Mckassic...especially if some of them get off to "hot" start): C: 6'11 231 C. Castleton SG: ? 6'6 182 K. Reeves? //or PF: Felder/Duruji SG: ? 6'3 185 E. Kennedy? //or SG/SF: Fleming/McKassic SG: 6'3 175 M. Jones PG: 6'1 163 T. Appleby Get the two freshmen (Reeves/Kennedy) involved early & interested in the game! =================================================== Another under-sized but quicker line-up: C: Felder PF: Duruji SF: Flemming/Reeves SG: Jones/Kennedy/McKassic PG: Appleby/McKassic Both Felder & Duruji are good shot-blockers! This could also be UF's best 3-point shooting lineup! || || \/ Then go back "big" again. Pound it inside to the front-court and be ready to hit the three-ball from the outside. C: Jitoboh PF: Castleton SF: Jones/Reeves SG: Appleby/Fleming PG: McKassic/Kennedy See below: The trio of Jones/Appleby/Mckassic have made the most number of 3-pointers this season! ================================================= UF's Best 3-Pt Shooters: by Volume: M.Jones: 22/75 (29.3%) T.Appleby: 19/62 (30.6%) B.Mckassic: 16/51 (31.4 %) by 3PT-FG%: Felder: 47.5% (10/21) Duruji: 45.5% (10/22) Flemming: 35.9% (14/39) ================================================== UF's Best FT Shooters: 1. Appleby - 85.1% 2 M.Jones - 83.3% 3 P.Flemming - 80.9% 4 K.Reeves - 80.0% 5 A. Duruji - 71.4% 6 B. Mckassic - 70.0% 7 J. Jitoboh - 70.0% 8 Felder - 66.7% 9 Castleton - 63.5% 10 Kennedy - 0% (no FTA) Despite the good FT-shooting, Florida has still managed to lose some games from the free-throw line which is puzzling! ===================================================== I am not sure how well some of those line-ups will do defensively but I was thinking more offensive-versatile line-ups!
So forget Appleby stats I would take his points here So forget 17 pts 5.6 asst because he ave 3.5 TO a game. Take that here in a heartbeat. He would be over 20 and 8 this year at CS with 3-4 TO a game
You need to quit focusing on stats and start paying a little more attention to the games themselves. Appleby is not a winning player on a consistent basis. His teams lose games that they should win. Nembhard can score 4 points and get 4 assists and play a great game because he helps everyone else on his team. He is a facilitator. Appleby is a do it by myself guy.
