Hines is a Forward. If you're talking about bringing Youngblood off the bench, that ain't happening. Maybe start the kid, along with Miguel and Youngblood, in place of Knox but I think CAAR likes KK's D. Will also be Jennings to add to the guards also later on this month ...

Starting lineup of the 5 best players:

Youngblood, Miguel, Reid, Pryor and Knox

I don’t like Hines in the starting lineup and would rather run 3 guards than leave Reid on the bench.

Hines isn't really a scorer but he is a good rebounder and defender, but I like your 3 Gaurd set and with Pryor being a versatile big man.

I haven't looked but what is the minutes distribution look like?   If Reid is playing significant minutes then it really doesn't matter if he is starting or not

Looks like around 25 minutes a game.    Not bad, he may provide the right spark coming off the bench.  Not a big deal

I’ve just noticed a big drop off in production and cohesion when he is on the bench. Hines isn’t a scorer, as was mentioned, so that threat is removed when he is inserted. Reid is also a very good defender and rebounder for his size. I just like the kid. I’d like to see him up to like 32 minutes a game. He can do it. Just some thoughts.

The line up was pretty solid until the Alabama State game when Pryor sat out. Maybe I’m imagining things, but since then, the chemistry has felt a little off. 

Either way, I think starting Reid wouldn’t be a bad idea.
