Count me as a no. If anything, I want the rotation shortened by a couple of people.

Melvin isn't giving them much at point guard right now.

I'd give Bone limited minutes and give McRae the majority of Bone's simply for experience. I think I would consider sitting Williams and use Maymon to back up both the 4, Harris, and the 5, Fields.

I 2nd this. If we are going to run a half court offense as opposed to a run and gun, there is no need for a 10 man rotation. Really no need for more than 7 or 8.

Bone is a good shooter is he not?

I bet given the playing time, Kenny Hall would out play Williams.

Couldn't hurt to let him get more minutes.

we gotta sign a legitimate 5, we need a reliable player down low that we can always count on

We already have the best #5 big man on the planet in Williams! He's just an earthquake that's getting ready to erupt! Problem is this earthquake doesn't erupt and has remained dormant since existence!

I could think of a couple who could get some quality time off by being sent back to their dorm/apartment.

Melvin needs his role redefined. In this team less is more in terms of playing minutes and the players who get these minutes.

Almost anyone would out play Williams now. At least Hall would get experience and hopefully improve. Williams is what he is. I agree that McRae should get some minutes--again, just to get experience and hopefully improve. If we're going to lose, lets lose with players who have a chance to get better and help us next year.
