Reeves apparently sick and Felder played a little in first half. Think White really wanted to win the game and at this early stage in the season, the 6 Sr transfers (3 from last yr, and 3 this year) gave the Gators their best chance of winning. Can't argue as the Gators played a great 2nd half... but imo this was way too minutes for some of them and we're going to need to get Felder and hopefully Reeves (at some point) in the rotation.
Not sure how poorly Felder was feeling seeing that he appeared briefly in the first half, but when Castleton needed a few short rests in the second half, CMW opted for a very small lineup with Duruji and Fleming as his two bigs.
Felder has been the least effective of the new transfers so far. I think he just needs to find his role, and CMW didn't want him searching during the FSU game. I expect he'll get a lot of PT against Milwaukee.
To me Felder was really brought in for next season. Should start/play a ton next year. Also think his minutes will go up over the next several weeks. He could have also been sick this week. Think Reeves was sick this week.
I think Reeves would have been a liability in this game. He’s still a bit green, so I understand why he didn’t play.
It's early in the season, so hopefully it improves but I too was hoping for a bit more support from the bench. (feel like a dink nit picking after this win)
