I think Jarron will cancel out whatever Taylor and Dawkins get and that leaves us with Cane, Jenifer, Keith and Scott vs UCF's other 4 best players. I like our chances with that.
I would like Eliel to play more because of foul trouble in this upcoming game. But in terms of their offensive ability Brooks is at 14.3 points per 40 minutes and Eliel is at 5. So Eliel is extremely limited and Brooks is somewhat limited. In terms of rebounding Eliel pulls down about 1.5 more rebounds per 40 minutes so it's not a huge tradeoff there.

Blocks are at Brooks with 3.0 per 40 minutes and Eleil at 2.2. Brooks is by far the better option especially when you consider Brooks is at 63% from the FT line and Eliel is at 39%. But this is a game where we can probably use Eliel more than in the past.
