and here's why
Our guards are maxed out and not enough at the same time.
Barry and Justin both logged 36 minutes.
Wes logged 38.
And that's still not enough because...
One, we are not ISU or OU. We are demanding those guys defend at a high level the entire time. Brown was gassed at the end.
And it's only going to get worse as they continue to log those minutes night in and night out.
And two, Ervin played 25 minutes. That's not good no matter how you spin it.
Having Stokes is what allowed Ervin to only log 8-12 mpg.
Ideally, asking Wes, Barry, and Justin to play 38, 36 and 36 should result in Ervin only playing 10 minutes.
Having Dean in foul trouble hurt in more ways than we generally think about. We played Wes at the four for several stretches which demanded Ervin be on the floor more.
Ervin on the floor = not good.
