That's probably the dumbest thing I've read.
I know we are all playing for the future and all of that ********. But Mike was a difference maker on defense on Saturday and Nixon was the only one that could handle the ball without Tyrese in there.
Precious Terrance and Zion will get PLENTY of minutes. We have 40 minutes to make up every game and in a lot of games Terrance was getting more than 10 minutes WITH Tyrese.
Heard Prohm is after some sweet grad transfers from this crew:

Can't argue this.. But you hope with the added minutes, comes with an understanding we need you on the floor. No Halli anymore to fall back on.
I see there being about 0.1% chance that anyone other than Nixon is running the point at the start of the game. And frankly, not sure how you do anything else after that KSU game. ISU was completely falling apart offensively and Nixon came in and they ran actual offense and got good looks. Obviously he hasn't had the year he or fans hoped for and has been a frustrating part of this years' struggles, but have to give him credit, he pretty much came in and saved that game.
Either way, expect plenty of offense with space and the ball in Bolton's hands trying to get to the rim. Not ideal with the two big lineup, but at this point there are no good options.

Mike has exhausted his minutes as a Cyclone in my opinion. He should only play if absolutely necessary and be the third option. Griffin should come in and get one of Solo or Conditt, while Grill and Nixon should come in for Bolton, Jackson, and Terrence when necessary.
The rest of the season should be all about evaluation.
HE HAS BEEN GETTING LOTS OF MINUTES. He had 23 on Saturday and he didn't get more because he picked up 2 straight fouls early and we had a 20 point lead.
This is such a stupid take.
I don't get the infatuation some have with Lewis. He's had plenty of opportunities this season to carve out more minutes and seems like he just can't string together 2 or 3 good games in a row after he has 1 good one. His minutes obviously will increase now but Nixon for defensive purposes is probably a better fit for the starting lineup.
I hope this means we start establishing our post game more early like we did again KSU. We play our best when we aren't just chucking up a bunch of long jumpers and make an effort to establish our big guys in the paint and have our guards attacking the hoop. Tyreese was pretty much the only reliable 3 point shooter on the team so hopefully we have finally got to a point we realize we can't live and die by the 3 point shot like we have in the past.

Would like to see Jackson try to get his offense going. You know, the way that Nixon hunts shots, that's Jackson's next step. If his defender has a hand down on the perimeter, make him pay for it. I think he has that type of game in him, but he needs the green light/confidence to do it. I'd prefer him to hunt shots as opposed to Nixon or even Bolton in some cases.
I see where you're coming from. I like Jackson as a player, but he is so far from ready to have the ball in his hands a bunch and initiating offense. And I think he's far enough off that throwing him into that role is just not fair and I don't think it will do him much good. I think there's a point at which getting thrown out there to take your lumps is productive. I don't think he's even at that level yet in terms of PG duties.
Here's my theory on Nixon's shooting. I bet if you charted it, he's got a pretty good percentage inside the 3 point line. If I were him, I'd just shoot a bunch of long 2's.
And not to mention that he's injured. Obviously he's gotten used the mask, but I can't imagine it doesn't throw him off a bit.
This I think makes a lot of sense. I don't think having Tre be ball dominant is a good plan, but I do think having him be much more aggressive offensively is the next important step in his development. Would like to have him get lots of shots up the rest of the year.
Disagree with this take. Would be a horrible thing to do if you want to continue recruiting any kind transfer players. I've been wanting to see both of their minutes decrease some too but Nixon pretty much has to play after loosing Tyreese. I'd like to see Jacobson lose some minutes to Conditt and Griffin too and even see what happens if both Young and Conditt are on the floor at the same time but depth wise he too is going to have to play a significant ammount of minutes in the rotation with how this roster is constructed. I really liked his energy against KSU, he may have only scored 2 points but he was really active when he was in the game blocking 2 shots aw well as getting 2 steals to go with 5 boards. I thought the whole team in general really started the game out with a lot of energy and toughness on defense and hope they keep that up and build on it because when they play that that it helps overcome our deficiencies on the offensive end.
Alot of this depends on whether T-Lew is in Prohm's doghouse, which seems to change on an hourly basis.
