Sitting Josh Gray on the bench
- Thread starter Tngamecock

Why? Because he's one of our two 7 footers? Has he shown anything to this point?
His value is to give mack a blow for a few minutes and while doing that he gets out scrapped for a ball from a guy that just wanted it more! I’m not sure he will even get floor time to give fouls! Sad a body like that 3-4 years in has not gotten better!
He shows plenty when he gets to actually play. 3 minutes a game is hard to get into any flow. He helps us tremendously against teams with a big guy with skills and he alters shots and rebounds. He doesn’t get backed down.
But hey, you think we have two 7 footers so how does one argue with that.
Know some Clemson fans who are die hards, they were able to be on the floor during warmups and sit coutside in tater land. Said if Gray would have played on Hall we would have beat them. Hall was able to back others down and rebound against us without Gray. They said Hall is not going to beat people strictly from the outside. They were shocked he played so little.
Funny how Martin and Paris both said he had NBA potential…..but they are so into their weave they don’t do it.

You don’t actually watch games do you. He is not getting out scrapped by anyone. He has gotten much better. We have players get beat all the time…it’s going to happen. We continue to play skinny Clark on other bigs and we will lose in SEC play. His value is shot changer, rebounder, and defense in the lane. He doesn’t allow other bigs to change our game. He also gives you a lob and kick out option.
Feel free to pin this and get back to me as the season progresses. I’m just sayin
He gets beat on a drive every time on the first step, but maybe you should be on the staff and get him more than 3 or 4 minutes a game, because someone that is at every practice and on the bench every game isn’t seeing it!
