Good BB discussion. Nebraska offered a good opportunity for Juwan to take a hard look at going with a large lineup in this game-with Brown, Wagner, Livers, Johns/Williams and Dickinson. It is going to be interesting to see how the rotations and personnel develop as the season progresses. A lot of good options available here-especially when Austin returns.

Without listening to the podcast, my immediate thought is to either move Eli Brooks to the bench or severely cut into his minutes to give Chaundee more.  That or cut down both Brooks' and Smith's minutes since Smith is still a bit of a defensive liability due to his size.

No matter what, Chaundee deserves a spot in the starting lineup.

It's just hard because the team seems to lose efficiency with only one ball hander.  Only brooks or only smith isn't enough.  And if you have to choose between them, that's also a difficult decision because smith is incredibly valuable on offense as a creator ball handler but brooks is incredibly valuable because he provides more defense than smith and also brooks is a leader and always knows where to be and what to do.

Idk, nothing wrong with Brown being a sixth starter kinda like Ginobili was on the spurs in their golden era.  I trust Howard to make the right decision and give brown the right number of minutes.

Sirs,

I very much enjoy the "hot takes" segment.  And while I do enjoy hot sauce, I'm not a 3-bottles-a-month sort of guy.  

Are their sponsor-support options for mere mortals?
