June 6, 200719 yr What is your opinion on a 4 gaurd lineup... What would your starting 5 look like...
June 6, 200719 yr I think UK will have to go with a smaller lineup. I think you start Patterson or Stevenson, maybe both if you absolutely have to go big. But there is no way I would start Carter. He has shown me absolutely nothing in the year or so he has played. Unless he is the most improved player in the country I would not start him. Right now my starters would be: Ramel Bradley Joe Crawford Jodie Meeks Derrick Jasper Perry Stevenson / Patrick Patterson
June 6, 200719 yr You will see Stevenson and Patterson both start out the game but don't be surprised to see the 4 guard lineup used alot, especially down the wire in the 2nd half.
June 6, 200719 yr Hasn't Gillispie said that he thinks Carter could have a monster year? Monster meaning ugly??
June 6, 200719 yr I may be in the minority here but I never like getting into the intricacies of breaking down lineups and/or style of play. That was one thing that I never bought into during Tubby's tenure...that he "needs to run more". They're the coaches for a reason. So whether BCG starts 5 guards, 5 big men, or a mix of both, could not matter less to me. And whether he wants to run-n-gun and score 90 points a night or dribble around and look for good/open shots and win 50-49 every night, is overrated in my book. Winning is all that matters and it doesn't matter how it gets done. If I had to choose a lineup though... Bradley, Crawford, Meeks, Patterson, Carter.

That is probably what the lineup will look like to start the year. Stevenson may end up taking Carter's spot in the lineup and it will be hard to keep Jasper and Legion off the floor. I'm sure you will see the 4 guard line up from time to time, and it would be some combo of Bradley, Crawford, Meeks, Jasper, and Legion with Patterson, Stevenson, or Carter.
June 6, 200719 yr Hasn't Gillispie said that he thinks Carter could have a monster year? Its sad when the UofL fans are coming to a UK player's defense. Nobody knows what Carter will do this year. He could do terrible, or he could really shine. The UK fans not even giving him a chance are driving me nuts.

June 6, 200719 yr Carter has not got too many chances to do anything.I think he could be a pretty good player if given the chance to play a little more.He can only improve on his game and has only played one year.Maybe under a different coach he will get it together I hope.
June 6, 200719 yr You never know who might flourish under a new system. I'm excited, if for no other reason, than just for the anticipation of the unknown.

As I said earlier, I want whatever lineup that the coach see's fit that will WIN! :ylsuper:
June 6, 200719 yr What is your opinion on a 4 gaurd lineup... What would your starting 5 look like... Do you have a link to this where they are saying they are considering it, or is this just your opinion.... Im sure we will see some 4 guard lineups in games, but we wont see a starting lineup of it IMO... Bradley Meeks Crawford Patterson Carter Thats the lineup I think we see to start next year, and then that could change depending on how people play...
