Except there was NBA buzz about Dalton before he got here. This! Dalton was getting drafted after that year at Northern Colorado. But probably between 45-60. |

Yeah, I can't imagine an NBA team taking too big of a risk on a guy coming from that program. Once he did what he did in the SEC, his stock soared. |

for those of you that are carrying water for Carr, who is going to sit so Carr can start? We can all see that he is an elite athlete but we have also seen chronic inconsistency and an incomplete game. Maybe someone who has seen practice in the last couple of months can apprise me that is no longer the case.

Maybe someone who has seen practice in the last couple of months can apprise me that is no longer the case. He is still inconsistent. He isn’t just an elite athlete, there isn’t anything he does poorly. We all loved DK’s microwave ability but DK would also slug through things. Carr is more so just a microwave. He might score 20 or might score 5 and have 3 turnovers. When he does get in that vacuum, it’s really fun. |

I DO think it's possible that someone might "reasonably" argue that he has a good shot to start. We have seen significant inconsistency from several guys who have started over the years. Maybe you have noticed.  |

Now, does Carr bring some other things to the table that some guys did that can help mitigate the inconsistency? That remains to be seen. |

I have been duly reminded of legacies of inconsistency, but you haven’t said who should be on the bench so Carr can be a starter. As per Basilio, Lanier had 27 points in a scrimmage win over Davidson, Okpara had 20 and Milicic came up scoreless. tclub.team/index.php?page=tony&b=4576 |

What I have said is that contrary to your assertion that there isn’t a reasonable argument that anyone could make to disagree with your projected starting lineup, Carr could be a starter. You can take a look at the lineup and figure out a couple of guys he could start over. I think your suggested starting lineup is very plausible, maybe even probable - I don’t know because the coaches haven’t seen fit to include me in their deliberations. All I’m suggesting is that it just might be possible for someone to see a slightly different starting lineup than you without abandoning all reason. |

I think it has got to be Lanier. Could be Mashack, but can't imagine Deacon doing that.

Agreed, and I think to someone else’s point (child’s?), I have said before as well that I think the more important issue is the minutes allocation. The starting lineup is mostly set, if not totally. But it’s just not as big a deal as the main rotation and spreading minutes around to guys that can help. |

Basilio's sources did indicate that Gainey got the start. That is a very Barnes-like decision... going for experience in the program. Obviously remains to be seen whether he keeps the spot and the minutes. If Lanier is showing the ability to put up 27, he will not be warming the pine very long. After all the pop coming out of practice in the last couple of months about Milicic, his performance in the scrimmage is very disappointing. I had him penciled in for big minutes. The early season schedule will be critical for determining distribution of minutes. Barnes will give ten players enough minutes build their resume. ZZ, Okpara and Mashack have 20+ minutes a game in the bank. Lanier, Gainey, Dubar, Estrella, Phillips, Milicic and Carr are auditioning for minutes. If Milicic continues to struggle at the 4 spot, Barnes has been very complementary of Phillips. I am looking forward to seeing how this works itself out, but for now, it's fun to speculate. Thanks to this board for being an intelligent, sane, civil forum for all things Vol basketball.

Do you know how many minutes he played, and how many shots he attempted? |
