That is just it...I want to see what Lander can add.  We already know what we are going to get from Rob.

Agreed. I'd like to see KL get 3-4 minutes per half before conference play starts to see what he can do and get him some experience

I would as well, but I trust Woody to make that decision.

Of course. I'd add that those minutes should be when the opposing starting PG goes to the bench. Give him an opportunity to play and build some confidence and see what happens

I said it in the game thread last night, but Woodson has got to find a way to get Lander real minutes in this cupcake portion of the schedule. 

He cannot got a full game not playing or just playing in garbage time in this portion of the schedule. 

A decision has to be made by the staff, over these next three games, which has the better long term impact on this season and beyond, trying to get Phinisee right (which has been attempted for 3 years) or getting Lander comfortable and growing?

Very difficult to do both because the minutes just aren't there. I'd lean to the latter at this point. 

Excellent post.  Rob seems to be a high quality person, but Lander, averaging just 12 minutes to Rob’s 20 per game, leads in every statistical category over Rob, and your point about what is known and building for the future is exact.  Regarding the defense, play Lander and let him learn/be coached through his learning process.

Another consideration is Lander has, for the most part, been playing with the second unit.  
 

Would be interested to watch Lander play with the first unit, while X is out of the game.
