I think we’ll see Luke in some games soon. Here is my thinking:
I expect Weathers to be out for a few games. The sprain looked pretty bad. So we are down to 9 scholarship players for a few games.
We have five players that always, 100% of the time, play only the four and five positions. Then we have only four players at the one, two, and three positions.
So DZ, Waters, Ice, and Curtis Jones will split time at those three positions. If two of those players ever get into foul trouble at the same time we don’t have another guard to put in there. So I expect Luke Major to get some minutes at the small forward spot in some of the upcoming games. Did you notice the coach Boynton put him in the last 20 seconds today?
On an unrelated note:
I have seen some posts about the high number of three pointers that we take. That we live and die with the three. But in each of the four conference games, our opponent has taken more threes than we have. In fact our opponents have taken 21 more threes than we have so far in conference.
