Josh makes our offense go, plain and simple. I understand there will be a lot of Romoesque Josh White questioning after his poor performances in both the Sun Belt and NCAA tourneys, but he is the glue that makes this team work. He can penetrate in the Belt, outside of it maybe not so much, but most of our games are against teams where he can take over with his scoring ability or driving and kicking to the other guys. Knowing the kind of work ethic Josh has I'm sure he will go into the offseason with a chip on his shoulder after his poor performance down the stretch and bring a new fire and intensity into next season.
As far as Shorter goes I'm not convinced he is a guy who needs to log major minutes. He was a streaky player throughout the season and at times would try to take over the game as if he was this teams #1 option. Case and point in the Kansas State game, George sat down and the game started getting out of hand. Shannon gets the ball, drives to the hoop, clangs the runner hard off of the glass, and whines to the ref about a no foul call instead of getting back on defense.
I think the best 5 for this team next year (the 2 position can be altered according to match-up)
Josh White
Dominique Johnson
Tristan Thompson
Alonzo Edwards
George Odufuwa
