UNC Basketball: Is it time for Coach Hubert Davis to change North Carolina's starting lineup?

Despite returning four starters in RJ Davis, Caleb Love, Leaky Black, and Armando Bacot, along with bringing in Pete Nance for Brady Manek, the North Carolina Tar Heel’s offense has not been impressive to this point in the season. Now eight games in, is it time for Coach Hubert Davis to consider a change to his starting lineup?

He made a change last year, starting Brady Manek over Dawson Garcia, and the Tar Heels ultimately made the National Championship game of the NCAA Tournament. What season-altering effect could a lineup change have this season?

Dorel Clayton says:

I like the idea of change, however our problem is everybody we play puts our bigs in screen and roll. Puff should start with Pete, Nichol, styles, McKay and Dunn would give us a deep bench. Coach is staying with the big four too long and at the end of games they are gassed

Louis Moore says:

Start Puff over Pete Nance

Yam Brown says:

He needs to do something, because what's he's doing ain't working

Steve Helton says:

Brady is being missed real bad Pete is not the answer they are getting out played each game.And Hubert is getting out coached.I think they fed into all the hype and didn't prepare to play.

Earl Clark says:

I dont see much benefit in a starting line up change. The thing that has stuck out to me the most is RJ Davis. He doesn't look like the RJ Davis we know. Forget about basketball, I wonder if there is something in his personal life that is effecting him. His body language isn't the confident gritty New Yorker we know, and the look on his face is different. I just wonder if there is something going on with him we don't know about. Love the show.

Michael Daniels says:

Needs to play only one big and needs to play his bench โ€ฆ.

Steve Helton says:

I think he should give Tyler Nickel some more playing time he scored 2900 point in high school.

Jamison Sabatini says:

I donโ€™t know nance has been more efficient in general as while as more productive outside of the post which makes us more dynamic and clears up space for cutting to the paint. Plus Bacot is banged up and not looking like himself id take Bacot off the bench for nance he would be a beast substitute. I know itโ€™s a hard call but makes us more versatile. He can do what Bacot can as a traditional big maybe not quite as well as Bacot but he can step out and do a 3 or play other ways.

David Kelly says:

Long past time to do this! Puff & Tyler at bare minimum, Pete Nance is no Brady, & Tyler has a more pure shot than Caleb. It's a no brainer. #GoHeels

Marshall Rucker says:

Yes coach need to change the line up he needs to start Puff Johnson
