Reason John Newman didn't play...


Feb 2, 2021, 9:51 PM

Interesting. Our depth came up big tonight...

Now I understand why Hemenway got so many minutes; although I still don't understand why he gets so many more minutes than Dawes - will be interesting to see Hemenway's stat line for this game.

In practice, Hemenway must hustle more????

However, I feel a lot better with Dawes or Newman in there. Hope Newman makes big comeback, and Dawes get more playing time. He is clutch!

Hemenway must be doing something in practice, because he sure did not seem to be doing anything in the game. But I am NOT a coach. All the best to the young man; I hope is three point shooting comes back - he sure missed some big ones tonight given that 3-point shooting is his specialty

Dawes and Hemenway don’t play the same position....


Feb 2, 2021, 10:10 PM [ in reply to Re: Reason John Newman didn't play... ]

Honor and Dawes typically platoon the point guard. Occasionally they are together...but not often due to height disadvantage defensively.

Then you have Trapp, Hemenway, Newman and Chase Hunter at the 2 and 3 positions.

Then Tyson and Prosper.

Then Simms and Hall.

Bahre plays on occasion...but it seems to be dependent on matchups.

It seems to me that Brownell is making some lineup adjustments to get us out of this funk....worked well tonight.

Hemenway has been missing lately....but he’s a good shooter and will come around.

I think that Trapp, Newman and Hunter are much more effective than Hemenway unless Hemenway's three point shooting is around 40-50%.

Newman....


Feb 2, 2021, 10:17 PM

For whatever reason...he has struggled this year.
Not sure what it is...but maybe sitting out a couple will help. The offense has a better flow without him at this point.

Feb 2, 2021, 10:51 PM

You might be right, but it seemed to me that the other four tigers on the floor were reluctant to throw the ball to Hemenway unless he was wide open. Maybe he keeps the offense flowing by not getting in the way! Anyway, there must be something the coaches are seeing that I am missing; and we need to trust their judgement.

I misread your comment - I agree, the offense seems to flow better without him.

The team needs him to get things straightened out. He'll drive the ball into the lane area for short jumpers or layups. Makes the offense more effective. Hasn't been hitting the shots as consistently as last season for some reason even I think prior to the covid break.
