At What Point Should Coach K Start Jack Over Cam?

[dukelifer]

Both Cam and Jack have contributed a great deal to our team success this year. They have played similar minutes with Cam scoring more (by 5.6 points a game) and Jack rebounding better (by 4 rebounds a game). They have both excelled in individual and team defense (with Cam leading the team in steals and Jack second in blocks). I expect both to build and get better as the season progresses.

In my view, quite a few posters are being overly harsh on Cam. He is having a few growing pains but so do most freshman not named RJ, Tre, or Zion. Overall, he has been a very, very good overall player. Cam is special and will prove that over the course of season. He will quiet the critics.

In the old days- the line was- the best thing about Freshmen is that they become sophomores. In this day of one-and-done the frustration is greater because they are not becoming sophomores. The fact that Cam is not coming back coupled with typical Freshman mistakes leads to a more critical view of his poor play. His stock is not changing much because he has all the gifts you want to see- except consistency.
