I would rather see Journey at the 3 vs Deal today. I've been nothing but consistent all year in terms of my position on which players I think should see the floor. With respect to the guards I've been pushing Stremlow all year over Deal. With respect to the freshman, Journey and Deal haven't been playing the same position, but if there are minutes at the 3 and, then I'd rather Journey be first in line for those today.
My point about Deal in general is that there was a significant number of posters complaining that Jan needed to give Deal more minutes to build confidence. Now there are posters on here (like you) complaining that she's playing her too much and that's hurting her confidence? Maybe you guys all just like to complain about Jan??
Oh, and I did answer your question.
Bullshiit.
You've just made a point out of disputing EVERYTHING I say.
Every single time.
Find one post where I said Deal should be playing more.
I'll save you the time, I never said it.
NEVER.
Now, I will say that AD hasn't lived up to the hype. That's not debatable.
5* recruits are expected to be contributors relatively quickly and definitely before the end of their first year.
If there's stuff going on off the court, that's another discussion.
But apparently one of the reasons JJ got the job was to keep Deal as a recruit.
