So, a few qualifiers first: 1) I'm not a bball expert so I don't claim to be right. 2) I think the world of this coaching staff so this is not a critical review. 3) I am not in practice and don't have access to those things so I know I am most likely completely uniformed in this topic.
With that said, here is my observation. Wagner is first off of the bench at a position that appears to be interchangeable with Dale Jones.......yet Jones is clearly the better offensive player, and from my observations a slightly better rebounder. Defensively I can't see a big difference between these two, but as I said I am not in practice. I wonder if Wagner starts because he brings more energy in practice and in a game? Is coach trying to send a message to either Jones or the rest of the new guys? Or am I just reading this situation incorrectly?
Any way, I would be interested in others insight and opinions.....just for discussion and being analytical, not for someone to state something as absolutely fact when in fact it is their opinion.
