Who would you guys like to see in the starting lineup in his place? I personally wouldn't mind seeing Caraher. I would think it's going to be either him or Williams.

I think it’s a good opportunity to reward Williams for him recent play. That plus it just makes sense.

Nonsense.   A bad sprain could effect him the rest of the season.   Nobody knows the severity, but sprains can do real damage.   Ask Steph curry

Yes, I am well aware of that. Shitty trainers and medical staff can also turn what is a 2-3 week sprain into a one that lasts longer.  St John's has a good staff so, in all likelihood, that won't happen

Marcus average 20 points and five assists in Serbia last year. Hopefully MH has the same good luck.

You wish he is lucky enough to get to play ball in Serbia?

This may be a blessing in disguise. Let's see how the rest of the guys respond getting more minutes with Heron out for ~ 2 games.

Unlikely unless you are talking about next year.

The reality is that it won’t have much of an effect if he heals like a kid his age should. The only way we were beating Arizona with him is the same way we’d beat them without him...if they play poorly with their eyes on the break.

It has to be Williams. He has by far the highest upside.

Id slide LJ to the 2, Penny to the 3 and Earlington to the 4.

Thats a tough lineup to handle with size and rebounding.

Heron is day to day, likely to be back against Zona If is feeling well.

Those ankle injurys usually nag at a player all season, especially when they get back at it within 2 or 3 weeks.

We will see. Everyone heals differently. As noted Powell went down, it looked bad, and he returned from the high ankle sprain in a few days and dropped like 30 on MSU.

Every ankle sprain you get makes the ankle weaker unless there is a lengthily period of rest. He will probably play against Arizona  but will be more susceptible to similar injuries the rest of the season
