Serious question - Is there a reason that Zeb’s minutes are deceasing (23 vs. St. Joes) while Nelson’s are staying essentially the same (20 vs. St. Joes)?
Is Zeb ailing? I know he’s not taking the best 3’s at times (not being squared up or strictly catch and shoots), but he’s a better defender, rebounder, and in A10 play he’s by far our best assist to TO ratio at over 3:1. Nelson is just over a 1:1 ratio.
I thought it was strange the other day when at under 4 minutes in the game Nelson was in instead of Zeb.
It’s almost like Odom is trying to keep both guys happy, but not at the expense of minutes from Sean or Max. I also remember Zeb being taken out to sit the bench just 2 minutes into the game at UMASS.
Thoughts?
