They gave him some run tonight. Interesting to see if Coach K will actually play him 5-10 minutes a game in the ACC and commit to what he said after the South Carolina loss about playing more guys.
A bunch of guys played tonight but it is obvious that White and Tucker will never play and Vrankovic will barely get spot minutes. I could see us going 9 deep with of course DeLaurier and Bolden, but also O'Connell and Goldwire as well. Goldwire (at least for now) seems capable enough to play solid defense and bring the ball up the floor to spell Duval for a few minutes each half. And when you watch how confident O'Connell is in scoring, it is reminiscent to a younger Grayson Allen in how he's just a natural scorer. Yes, he's not there yet physically but I think it's hard to just not play someone with that ability and confidence offensively. If Goldwire and O'Connell each find their way into the rotation during ACC play I would be pretty pleased.
