I suspect AG is playing the 5 he feels gives the best chance for winning AND I also think that same 4/5 is the core of next year and that's also part of the plan. MJ playing over Crosby at the end speaks volumes to me. Someone earlier mentioned that "Grant is doing what his college coach did (DD) - play the best 5-7 players". Yep, seems like another UD coach recently did that and was successful for one year full of bad luck. That seemed to work out ok...

I assume you're talking about 2014-2015. But that coach had to make adjustments in cutting down on practice, focusing on not fouling, and resorting to making our freshman who had other qualities coming out as a 3 to 4 star recruit shooting guard, a 3 point specialist and backup PG.
If AG is making similar adjustments, okay, but I seriously doubt it. The college game is so much different now than it was with
Donoher, with the biggest change to the pace of the game being the shot clock that playing just 5-7 players(when you don't have to like AM did in 2014-2015), it makes no sense to try IMO.
