I agree with most of the comments made. However, after watching this game and some of the scrimmages, I believe that Reedal must play more. His upside is huge. He has a great stroke and I think he can get as many rebounds as Carter has gotten in 2 games (1). If we are going to lose games before the MAAC season, and we are going to lose many if not all, then at least let's get Reedal, Herbie and Hahn the experience they need to make us better in the new year.

Defense and Rebounding are two of the major areas that need improvement, and a lot of the improvement needs to come from the position along side MOS. And while neither of the 3 contenders (Reedal, Middleton or Carter) have distinguished themselves defensively. There does seem to be a rebounding stat that is quite interesting that Rave pointed out. Reedal has as many Rebounds Carter. There is minimal statistical data but here are the rebounds/minute for each of those 3 players

Reedal - .27
Middleton - .10
Carter - .08

That's quite a difference when you consider that a stat of .20 is what a good rebounder usually gets. MOS is at .27, and Gai was at .26, Maxwell was at .18, and MOS at .22 last year.

Now Middleton give us a tall presence, and Carter gives us strength. But rebounding is more about getting it done, so if Reedal is showing a nose for rebounding, maybe he should be more of an option. He certainly brings more offense to the table than Carter and Middleton. I can't comment on Reedal's defense as I have not seen him that often. Has anybody watch Reedal on Defense.
