So what's with Blake Justice?

[akronzips71]

Is he being red shirted or what?

He is supposed to be a great shooter, but I don't think he has made it onto the floor in a game yet?

Anyone?

Bueller?

I would expect at this point that he is redshirting. KD has a lot of tough decisions on playing time to make already with how deep this team is. It is hard enough trying to find enough minutes for a 10 man rotation, adding Blake in there as #11 would make it that much more difficult. Makes a lot more sense to redshirt him.

I would expect you will see Blake take over a good bit of the minutes vacated by Brett McClanahan's graduation next year.

Good call, Quickzips. Nitro's biggest strength is his 3-point shooting, so Justice is almost certain to be filling some of Nitro's minutes next season. From what I saw of Justice in the practices, he has a sweet shooting stroke and does not appear to have any glaring weaknesses in other aspects of his game. If the Zips needed him this season, I don't doubt that he could contribute. But there's just not enough PT available for all the talented players on the roster this season. No need to waste a year of his eligibility sitting on the bench.
