I wish they would let CJ play away from the basket some. He has a great shot and a good face up game.

Maybe CJ on the floor with QT or SW might be a good idea.

No, Johnson is too important on the offensive side of the court and his shot blocking skils

I just don't know where CJ has been lately. He has been doing very poor on both sides of the ball.

CJ is needed on offense. But if he is going to struggle, might as well play Q to defend the post. Warren is too small to play post.

He is struggling on offense. His defense is horrible.

CJ is actually a better fit in Brady's scheme...if you can believe that.

Isn't he so small that he could get a legal prescription for steroids?

Definitely think his confidence is low and he is playing below his potential, but Trent's lineups have pretty much worked great all season long.

Let Q come off the bench if/when Johnson gets abused or foul trouble and put Storm in for whatever spark is needed at the time because he's solid on D and O.

Keep lineup as is.

I agree. CJ is not a post player on either end of the floor. Much better playing the 3 or 4 position. But no excuse for missing a number of gimmes the last few games.

We know Mitchell, Temple, M. Thornton, and Spencer are the constants. Maybe move Q into the 5 spot and have CJ coming off the bench to spell Mitchell and Q.

I think he has a disease that won't let him eat.

If they had CJ + QT on the court at the same time, they would have to sit either Spencer, MThornton, GT, or TM. Those four guys are playing great. I say start QT instead of Cj and have him be the first one of the bench. But when SEC play come around, we will get harassed with CJ down low as the starter. I say we run more double teaming down low when we start to play tougher opponents.

I would like to see him front the post on defense and shoot the short jumpers like he did last year. He can be effective, but needs to get out of his slump.

Tandyman hit it on the head he should front the post on defense and rely on backside help.We have to have him on the floor for rebounding and shotblocking.Offensively he is lost with his back to the basket,but thats all that available for him in the scheme we're running.I think the most important factor in this offence is GT he has to score double digits if he is going to play the three position.Overall very satisfied with the team.
