I would tend to disagree with you Mike about Bobbit's role on the team. I
feel that Bobbit should get a chance to start in Field's place. To me
Bobbit is more of a rythm player than Field. In other words, Tony needs to
be on the court more and get into the flow of the game in order to be
effective. I don't like to see guys take bad shots, especially if they
continue to take them, however, in UC's two most impressive offensive
outputs of the year Bobbit has averaged 27 a game. He is the type of player
who can stretch a lead very quickly and that is what the 'Cats need right
now. Also, for the first two years of his career, Field was used to coming
off the bench and shooting. I think putting Bobbit in the starting lineup
and living with his sometimes poor shot selection will benefit the team
more, especially come March and the tourney when the 'Cats play teams who
will run up and down the court. I think Field fits better in the Darnell
Burton type role as a sixth man who can come into the game and score very
quickly. To conclude, switching Tony and Field in the lineup IMO would
cater better to each person's strength's.
