I'd like to see a lineup of Evans, Monteiro, Clark, Saunders, and Peggau but a finishing lineup that includes McConnell in place of one of those guys. -- Duquesne Dukes Basketball Forum

IMO Slim, TJ McConnell is the best PG on the team and the best SG, at least statistically in head/head matchups. He is also the best pure shooter. I want him on the floor early and often until he proves he's not the guy. (NT) -- TMH, Wednesday, July 21, 07:08:37pm
- In RE's world, I think it works the other way. You prove that you're the guy, then you end up on the floor early and often. (NT) -- duq81, Wednesday, July 21, 09:29:30pm
  - Possibly but Damian, Bill and BJ all started right out of the gate. The first two proved they belonged there. BJ needed a bit more seasoning but was replaced by yet another freshman. (NT) -- TMH, Wednesday, July 21, 09:56:00pm
    - The Dukes were still in ruins when Damian and Bill came in. We're a bit better now. TJ may indeed get major minutes early, but it will be because he earned them in practice, and then in the early games, not because he was handed a job. Our other guards played well in the summer league too, so whoever ends up getting major minutes, will have earned them, beating out tough competition. (NT) -- duq81, Wednesday, July 21, 11:12:02pm
- I don't totally disagree with you. I think he WILL be, but I'm not sure he is YET. Evans has played very well and the PG job is his to lose. As for BJ vs TJ at the 2, I think the lineup with BJ and Peggau (or Martin if he does well) makes us better due to size. There is a certain benefit in having someone of TJ's ability and energy coming off your bench, so ideally BJ and Peggau would play well enough to start and play major minutes, and you'd have TJ giving a lift off the bench. At the end of the game, you could matchup defense vs offense. (NT) -- Slim, Thursday, July 22, 09:20:23am
