Should Nick Kay be starting?

Nick Kay should def start in B team for qualifications. Still worth taking him, for spot minutes and effort, to majors

Well, Nic Kay playing the 5 at WC, who'd a thunk it. LOL

On a more serious note, what do we do for the Senegal game?

Keeping in mind that these results carry over into the next round, do we go for the jugular and pile in as many baskets as we can?
Do we try to keep guys like Bogut and Baynes warmed up, or do we give them an easy game and try to keep them fresh for Lithuania and beyond?

Journeyman? Now who's on drugs?

It's great that Kay is now playing with confidence, especially if you consider that he has effectively moved up the order with Bolden out, and Barlow (ROFL) in.
Even as Landale's backup he's going to have to play solid minutes, and our big risk is B1 or B2 getting injured or in foul trouble, which would necessitate sliding Landale to the 5.

I'd be a hell of a lot more comfortable with Motum in the team instead of Barlow.

What y'all don't realise is I had to leave the Boomers or I'd of just been taking minutes off the GOAT.

Anon, here are Kay's +/-s in each game so far.

-3 in 17 min
-3 in 20 min
-6 in 12 min
+18 in 21 min

As a comparison, here are Landale's equivalent stats
-18 in 28 min
+14 in 25 min
-9 in 22 min
-16 in 17 min

I'm not sure what you can take from that, but they are the numbers.

Kay seemed to pull off a lot of "NBA goal tends" really well something our NBA bigs night not be so adept at.

I'm trusting him more but only a sprinkle of minutes here and there I hope.

All the talk making fun of Kay, but it's actually really important that Kay plays well and with confidence. He finally looked more comfortable out there in this win. Lemanis won't play Landale much more than 25 minutes per game. With Bolden out, what are our choices for the remaining 15+ minutes?
- go small with Creek at the 4
- go big with Baynes+Bogut
- go with Barlow at the 4, who hasn't played a full minute yet with this team
- go with Kay

There may be reasons to sometimes go bigger or smaller, but it appears that Landale and Kay will typically be splitting time at the 4.
