Getting Geo & Harper going

[jerzeyguy]

2 things Pike should try.

1. Put Geo back in the starting lineup. The truth is - some players just don't perform as well coming off the bench. Body goes cold after going through warmups and then going to sit down on the bench. Geo in the flow - fresh off a 40 min shoot around - is probably better than Geo trying to find rhythm off the bench.

2. Harper seems out of sync and disengaged. Pike could put the ball in Harper's hands early -- a couple of those pick and roll situations. Let Harper trying get some early buckets to boast his confidence. When he gets going early, he usually has a strong game

I think a big part of geo is ...and many disagree with me ...is he is a scoring point guard. Period. He is not a shooting guard...and playing off the ball is dimishibg his value of what he can Bring

Reality is...right now, Mathis, Young, and Caleb are playing better in the back court

agree...switch it up. Insert him back in starting lineup. Give him some iso plays.
That is when he excels.

We have to get the ball down low to Harper he is very good on that short turn around jumper!!

And as bad as Geo has been we needed him in at the end of the game. No one knew what to do with the ball

Geo needs to be back to 100% by the conference tourney. He's the only one on the team with that killer instinct.

Worth a try. If these 2 guys can’t get it going soon, RU will not dance.
