Is it time to start Roby?

[AuroranHusker]

Zay Roby's line of 11 points 4 rebounds 4 assists 2 blocks 1 steal is about what I expect from the 6th man on a high-level team. He's really coming into his own.

It looks like that time is getting close

What about Doobie at the 5 with Copeland AND Roby? Jim and Glynn in the backcourt, certainly are most athletic and offensive line-up. I love everything Taylor brings, but that unit offers so much when it comes to shot blocking, scoring and running the floor.

I don't see Evan out of the starting line up.  In fact, without looking at the official stats, I would be a bit surprised if Evan is not leading in time played.

Close. Glynn edges him by a nose. He's 2nd, though.

Like I said, I'm not Doggin' Taylor. I just find that BIG,  fast line-up intriguing.

Another sort of interesting observation...isn't Duby shorter than both Isaac and Isaiah?  I know both Duby and Isaiah are listed at 6'8" inches but Isaiah looks taller.

Doobie is shorter than both I believe, but he certainly plays BIG. Big thru the shoulders, with the "hops" and that wingspan. Roby, even bulked up from last season, will get pushed around by guys like Lynch and Ward in the B1G. I like the aforementioned 5 for a BIG line-up or go small with Even, Glynn, Jim and Copeland, Roby on the blocks.

I don't think Miles has seen enough from Copeland or Roby in terms of shooting, ball-handling and defending on the perimeter to go to that lineup much.

A valid point, but what you might lose in ball handling, you would gain in shot blocking and rebounding. Plus, it's nice to have personnel where you can actually tinker with the line-up for a change...

Bump. 

 

This seems as good a place as any to post status updates on Roby's ankle.  Anyone hear anything?

Coach said 5-7 days...is that what I read?

I think 5-7 days is best case scenario. Could be longer.

 

Hopefully Jack is ready to splash this week.

it took 64 days, but it happened.

The dude had a game tonight.  Just needs to finish a few of those dunks

He has just seemed way more aggressive the last couple of games. It's what we've been waiting for. A lot of his errors came from him being tentative. Yeah, he had turnovers tonight, but they weren't the same kind of turnovers. And him playing the middle of that 1-3-1 is devastating. He covers so much territory. He's turning into what I was hoping he'd be and he's still a long way from his ceiling.

[B-town hoopsfan]

He’s probably the closest thing the skers will ever have to the rare “basketball unicorn” and he’s already far n away the best rebounding player on the team. Would be nice to see him take some of these pick n pop threes and he needs to have some kinda post move, then he would be scary 

[Huskerpapa]

Should mention (if not already done) was Isaiah's sideline save that resulted in a dunk on the other end.  He closed A LOT of space to save that ball.  He also knocked a number of balls loose and so forth.  The dude is a playa.
