Parakeet Jones Posted August 12, 2021 Report Share Posted August 12, 2021 That’s the lineup I predicted in the Bahamas thread. @IUFLA speculated in response that we should maybe slide Kopp in instead of Stewart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoadToZion Posted August 12, 2021 Report Share Posted August 12, 2021 X, Rob, Stew, Kopp, TJD. But I really have no clue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I was thinking he'd be first off the bench but could start depending on how CMW wants to run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fundamentals Posted August 13, 2021 Report Share Posted August 13, 2021 First, Rob Phinisee seems to be a quality person, but seems a better fit off the bench with the influx of guards. Fact is the roster is dramatically improved over last season and that may lead to a key role off the bench for Rob. Starters guess: X Bates Stewart Race TJD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCHoosier32 Posted August 13, 2021 Report Share Posted August 13, 2021 it's not the lineup i want to see, but i would bet X, Rob, Stew, Race, TJD with the only question being Kopp for Stew or Race? i just don't have much faith in Rob other than being a good teammate and experienced. it would make a ton of sense that Rob, TJD, and Race would all start at least in preseason stuff. at the same time, it is theoretically a new system and a clean slate for all including returners, so who knows?

dgambill Posted August 13, 2021 Report Share Posted August 13, 2021 A long way to go before the season. Lots of time for people to jockey for playing time. I imagine we will see all sorts of different lineups in the Bahamas to see with groups play well together. I suspect early on it will be upper classman and guys Woody can trust but I look for the young guns to eat into that before long. The gap will close...and guys with smaller upsides like Kopp and Rob will slowly give way to younger guys as they will improve at a much higher rate.

I thought it was telling that Coach Woody singled out Rob for praise in his presser. Rob has the physical tools, but it was my thought that nagging injuries and confidence were his issue...Coach Woody said his confidence seemed to be renewed with the new system/coaching staff...

I think if anyone understands motivation and what mental health can do for players it would be Woody who spent enough years under Knight to witness first hand how to push buttons and whom you take different approaches with. Also I think Rob witnessing Xavier's game and how he opens up everything for everyone else by attacking will inspire him to do the same with his own game.
