Rotation oddities

[JG Panthers]

So, after noticing that Christian Wolf didn't play a minute in the loss to Northern Iowa, I'm left in complete confusion. Christian Wolf started the first 5 games of the season. He went against the first unit for nearly every minute of the beginning part of this season. Does Jeter care about winning these games? These numbers lead me to believe that he doesn't.

Christian Wolf - 14 mpg, 10, 17, 15, 9, 0

Jordan Aaron has been run into the ground. To be fair, Jeter had little option with Gulley out. But now that Gulley returned, and after heaping praise on Bobo, Gulley plays 37 minutes (wow) and Aaron plays 40. Really? 14 minutes for Bobo? WTH?

Jordan Aaron - 29, 44, 37, 39, 40, 36, 40

The two best games of the season? Clearly have to be Davidson and South Carolina, right? Ryan Haggerty's minutes in these games were 33 and 25 minutes respectively. His average in games since? 11 mpg. Huh?

Ryan Haggerty - 20, 33, 25, 20, 9, 11, 4

What the hell happened to the team that put up 76, 75 and 73 points in its first three games? They've averaged 58 since then... against the juggernauts UALR, Jacksonville, Rider and Northern Iowa. Kyle Kelm and James Haarsma should be averaging 14 points a piece, not combined. What is the issue here? I have a few ideas....

Interesting points, JG. Perhaps Jeter attended the Scott Siles School of Rotations this past summer?

Jordan and Paris played so much against UNI and Bobo only played 14 minutes, because Bobo has had a sore back that's been limiting him.

Makes sense. Results of all the roster attrition since the end of last season.

No Ja'Rob, No Lonnie, No Shaq, No Donald have lead to a lack of guard depth resulting in injuries, fatigue, bad losses.

One of my biggest concerns that I have had about this team over the years has been the lack of a consistent rotation. Honestly, I have come to realize that for better or worse this is who we are and have stopped expecting any change in this department.
