Whether IB is in great shape or not, I really don't think it changes much for him in regards to playing time. Ideally, he would play more minutes when the other team has solid bigs that need a body laid on them. During most of those games, IB will likely stay in foul trouble so the minutes won't change much. He is a 14-16 minute or less per game guy this year. Last year he averaged 20 minutes per game but now Goran, who averaged only about 10 minutes per game, has developed a little and should take some of those minutes. As was the case last year, Marshall will be successful when they shoot the ball well and have good flow to the offense. It does seem IB tends to "settle" on the block more often than I'd like which takes other guys out of the flow a bit, and that doesn't seems to happen as much with Goran. I'd expect to see Goran take more and more minutes from IB as the year progresses.
We seem to have a good mix at guard with Andy, Jerrod and Taevion, Those guys are the glue to hold this team together. They'll all probably play 30 minutes plus per game as they did last year. Still the most important spot on the floor for the Herd is that mix at the PF spots. Jannson, Mikel, Darius, Marko, and now Obinna will all compete for time in that spot. Hopefully Jannson and Mikel shoot the ball well because we are much better when those two guys are playing. They both add length and the ability to knock down shots from the perimeter. Geez, I can't wait for some hoops action. Go Herd.
