OK. Here's a thought. Don't shoot the messenger
If I were the coach, sooner than later, I would start preparing for next year. Toward that end I would consider making a significant change - moving Lynn Kidd to the 4. We have seen enough of Kidd this year that he is not really a 5. I don't see that changing unless he adds 20 lbs, which is unlikely. So, I would play him at the 4 with Beran behind him.
At the 5 I would start Poteat and give Wessler significant minutes so that he can complement our new HS recruit next year.
Next I would play Young behind Cattoor. He needs minutes now if he is going to be reliable at the 2 next year.
So, my rotation would be as follows:
5: Poteat / Wessler
4: Kidd / Beran / Long
3: Nickel / Long / Collins
2: Cattoor / Young / Collins
1: Pedulla / Rechsteiner
Once we lose more than half our ACC games, which could be by the end of January I would make this change.
Now, this is likely not going to happen. Many fans and boosters would be upset if Young threw in the towel this year. This is why I would never make it as a coach.

You say Kidd is not a 5. But you think he's a 4? Uh, no.**

There may be a lot more games until we lose half . Basketball is streaky.
