One Game In: Jordan Williams or Dino Gregory?

PrintYou've seen both, granted, Dino Gregory for much longer than Jordan Williams.
Dino played 33 minutes and scored 8 points, but had just 3 rebounds. He showcased a nice midrange game, but his offense other than that wasn't much better than last year. Defensively he was very quiet as EKU dominated for stretches at a time.
Jordan was average offensively at best, and showed nervousness and excitement when he missed hard on some layups. Then again, in just 9 minutes of play, he put up 5 boards, a ratio that Maryland should've been killing for as Dino had one rebound every eleven minutes. The killer for Williams was the time he fouled a 3 point shooter blatantly.
After seeing one game of Dino and 9 of Jordan, who wins out for your starting spot?

Agree
I think this poll should include a “C” option, namely both start. I think by the time we get to ACC play GW should at least consider starting both. I hope that at least JWill plays well enough to force a tough decision.
Need rebounding
It may not matter against a small squad like EKU, but it matters a lot against stronger competition – we need to be able to compete on the boards. Just because we made the tourney last year with a SF at PF and Dave Neal as our “center” doesn’t mean that we need to go with three guards and a SF every season. We’ve got some front court depth now. We should be starting Dino at PF and Williams at C. Williams is a beast on the boards, getting over 0.35 reb/min, which is really, really good. So he makes some freshman mistakes – his rebounding and bulk more than make up for it. Hayes or Vasquez should come off the bench.
GV plays alot better with Dino on the floor
His three still wasn’t there but he was starting the break, making good outlet passes, and nice assist. When you look at GV career at MD the last two years he really hasn’t played with a true post man Like JW. That being sad it all depends on the match up who gets the start.
Tough to Start Both
It is tough to start both with the way SM EH and LM are playing and GV will not get benched. He shouldn’t get benched in my opinion because his leadership and his experience are very valuable and I also think he will get his “swag” back. With that being said I also think that J WIll needs to see much more PT for he has earned it. Also Jin Soo Choi needs to never play and I’d like to see Padge play at least five minutes to keep developing.
as some have said williams didn’t start because we played a perimeter shooting team that lacked size. i would think gary would start williams with dino and milbourne upfront with mosley and vasquez starting in the backcourt. well that is what i would do anyway. i didn’t sleep at a holiday inn last night but i slept in boca ration fl so that’s even better.
