Honest question, is Marvin one of the best players in the country RIGHT NOW in terms of system offense or any kind of defense?
I would argue he's pretty good at both, but not elite or consistent.
Now, could he be? Of course. The dude has tools that literally no one else in college has. He is easily the best post scorer this year and maybe in the last 5 years. His free throws are still raw and his shot is coming along, but the dude is amazing at getting the ball in the hole on his own.
My overall point is that there's no need to keep trotting out our best 5 guys as a unit if the efficiency numbers look bad. Let's work him back in with Carter, but be quick to play one of them at a time if we start to drag. Bolden/Jav/White are great complementary pieces. We don't need two Shaqs out there. They become redundant. It would be better to have one Shaq and one great weakside player (like a Robert Horry). Ideally, Carter and Bagley would each take turns being Big Shot Bob. Maybe Coach K can get them to see it that way too.
I trust Coach K to find that magic rotation that gets the job done. I'm excited to see Bolden and Jav starting to find their roles. Marques finally looks like he's having fun.
