Pritchard is doubtful out with ankle soreness

KP and Risacher are out for the Hawks and Dyson Daniels is questionable

What gives with Josh Minott?
He's been OUT for a while.

I’d love to see Simons get a lot of work at point guard this game to see how he performs.

Harper could even see a few non garbage time minutes. I kinda doubt it, but maybe.

He's always been in with another ballhandler, White or Pritchard.
Maybe he can go with Scheierman and/or Hugo.

That's a great idea.
And we are down a PG.

Yeah, it's not out of the question. He can handle a few minutes a half, imo. My guess, though, is Simons will play more PG than he usually does, and our young wings will get a bit of extra time at the 2. Hopefully, we blow them out and he gets minutes anyway.

So, we're essentially down to 9 Guys; as Boucher and Tillman don't even play.
Centers gotta stay out of Foul trouble, as there's only 2 of them.

Walsh and Minott were in there as Center-by-Duo. But, Minott's OUT.
I believe that we need to play some of the Two-Ways?


Edit:
All 3 x Two-Ways are with the Boston Team.
They haven't been playing for the Maine Squad. They've been on this whole Boston road trip.

Whenever they tried to play Simons as a solo Ballhandler, he was instantly Double-teamed.
And, he can't really handle the Double-team.

It will be interesting to see what Mazzulla does with the Roster tonight.

Well, there's our answer.
Scheierman gets the Start.

Everybody has been getting a shot, placeholding Tatum's spot.
