It's not like there's an option other than Maze right now.

Truth. Now if Pearl came out and said, "Well, Maze has been playing pretty good, but I think we're gonna give ole Steven Pearl a shot," I would have to think.... well, that CBP had been talking to CPF too much.

Didn't mention Negedu but said Woolridge is in the 9 man rotation. Is that rotation including West (if cleared) and Tatum when he returns?

Seriously, JP better have no injured himself again..

The projected lineup and rotation that I saw had Negedu list at only the Center position (behind Chism and Williams). And then the depth at PF was atrocious. It basically said that the only backups at the 4 position were Chism could slide over, or after that Steven Pearl. So Negedu's skill set and the system we runs means he wont see any time at the 4 spot? Andybody know if he is learning that spot at all?

The current 9-man, with Prince and without West, must be:

1-Maze
2-Hopson
3-Prince
4-Smith (kinda funny that we can now just call him "Smith")
5-Chism
BN-Tabb, Tatum, Woolridge, Williams
OUT-West, Childress, Negedu, Jurick

All of them aren't hurt. They are just "OUT" of the 9-man playing rotation.

With the 9-man rotation looking like it does right now, all that talk of Tyler Smith playing the 3-spot can be thrown out the window. Not nearly enough depth in the 9-man rotation for him to slide out of the 4-spot.

He could play some 3 if Negedu plays more.

But the info out right now is that Negedu does not have the skill set required to play the 4-spot in our system. He lacks the perimeter skills to fit our system in that spot right now.

Well, that is disappointing.
But, if he develops and gets PT at the 5, Chism can move to the 4. Chism played the 4 at times last season while Williams was on the game. That would enable Smith to play the 3, if CBP wants to do that.
