Exactly , and relatively this has less hype than the 2006 game . PI think you mean contextual perspective , because the context in the CFP and CCG in the new Big Ten will ensure that this year ' s version of The Game is about as big as it can get under the new rules . <| sep |> uevantime so our bench was an issue last year , especially when we were injured . we had too many combo gaurds temple , sessions , neal . the issue is that none of them were particularly good at setting up other playersthey all have since left and we replace them with burke . another PG who cant set up anything for his teammateshe has lost his minutes to sato because sato comes closer to actually running an offense . i get that we bought low on burke , but there wasnt really much to buy . meanwhile , nicholson has barely played and i didnt watch preseason . hes losing minutes to jason smith and jason smith has been nothing short of abysmal . especially on offense , he occasionally hits midrange but other than that he turns it over , bricks lay ups , struggles to rebound , etc . nicholson must truly be showing nothing in practice if he hasnt gotten a chance in the bench unit yetoubre . i want to like oubres game . he has potential , he gets rebounds , he gets to the rack . but it doesnt add up yet . couple that with lapses when off the ball on defense and you get a very unreliable player . furthermore , somehow thornton gets the offense run through him . sato is the only guy who can remotely pass on our bench . actually him and john wall are the only above average passers for their rolebeal is getting better but not there , markieff has looked poor . gortat doesnt really passill talk more about starters later
