Re(1): #223 - Late-gamers as early subs: Do you bite?

Posted on November 20, 2007 at 09:51:56 AM by Jim

For me, it depends on the sub. At Miami, in all the late games when an early gamer is subbing, I avoid the team at all costs, unless it's an early gamer that is good with a REALLY good backcourter, such as Aitor with Irastorza, and in a lower post. Otherwise, I avoid the team.

As far as a later gamer subbing in early games, again, it depends on the sub. Earlier this week, Tevin subbed in some earlier games, and frankly, since he really has no closing shot or aggression, it's pointless to play him when the backcourter is weaker. A more aggressive player can really only do well subbing in earlier games. You put Lejardi or Tevin in there...not much gonna happen. You put Rekalde or Goiko in there...different story.
