Big man melee

I'd like to get your thoughts on a big personnel question during the final exams lull. How should Glen Miller divide up time in the Penn frontcourt over the next few games?

Well, it depends on the answers to a few other questions:

Is Justin Reilly's offensive game worth his defensive lapses?

Is it the right decision to bury Brennan Votel on the bench?

Should Cameron Lewis be more than a defense/rebounding role player?

Should we see more of Conor Turley after the boost he gave against Monmouth?

Will Andreas Schreiber ever be able to stay out of foul trouble?

For a frame of reference, here's how the minutes and points have been divvied up so far. I'm not counting Brian Grandieri in this group, although he's been listed as a forward most of the year.

Eggleston: 10 GP, 26.4 mpg, 7.7 ppg, 51.8 FG% (29-56), (7-18) 3-pt. FGs, 4.7 rpg Reilly: 10 GP, 18.4 mpg, 7.1 ppg, 46.0 FG% (23-50), (7-13) 3-pt. FGs, 2.3 rpg Schreiber: 10 GP, 13.8 mpg, 5.0 ppg, 54.1 FG% (20-37), (3-14) 3-pt. FGs, 3.7 rpg Votel: 9 GP, 9.4 mpg, 1.9 ppg, 33.3 FG% (7-21), (1-7) 3-pt. FGs, 2.6 rpg Lewis: 8 GP, 8.1 mpg, 1.5 ppg, 33.3 FG% (4-12), (0-0) 3-pt. FGs, 1.3 rpg Turley: 5 GP, 7.2 mpg, 1.4 ppg, 28.6 FG% (2-7), (0-3) 3-pt. FGs, 0.4 rpg

Leave your comments on this frontcourt mess below, but be fair. If you suggest that one player should see more time, please indicate who those minutes should come from.

Brian Seltzer's weekly podcast offers some insight on Harrison Gaines' absence from the starting lineup against Monmouth; Miller commented that he was looking for "more organization for our offense" and better decision-making -- when to push things and when to put on the brakes. With a couple of days' hindsight, I think it also had something to do with Gaines' night against North Carolina, where he looked completely out of sorts.
