I think Thad needs to stick with playing Ravanel and Sully together. Ravanel is really pretty skilled. He is a good passer, and can hit an open jumper. That would take a lot of pressure off Sully on defense too. They could slide Thomas to the 3, Buford at the 2, and Craft at 1. Seems logical to put Ravanel at high post to feed Sully, and if the defense backs off to help on Sully he is more than capable of hitting that jumper. I like him at high post more than Thomas, because he would actually pass it. I like that lineup more than Smith at the 2, because he can't shoot. They could play Ravanel against teams with size, and Smith against teams without size.
Big Rav showed up to play last night! It was a blessing for Ohio State that Sulli was in foul trouble early and Rav was allowed to get in a grove.
Tomorrow
I agree because Sully gets the crap beat out of him every game and Deshawn Thomas isn't a PF but is a great player Thomas is a perfect SF if he is focused on Defense. Ravanel Would help Sully bang down low with the poeple trying to hack Sully every time down the court. If we match up against teams like Kentucky or North Carolina we will need Sully and Ravanel on the court at the same time because of sheer size.
It's good to be home.
