Right now this team is just getting tired and the shooting percentage and three point chucking is killing us. Not having a bench to relieve the starters is obvious and I am please to see Flip not stall and make the move for Luc with Williams.
To sorta build off of what you said here.......Luc is a very good defender (maybe better than Brewer :) ) and very athletic, and i think that it will be easier for him to learn the "adelman way" playing with the first team. Brewer is already altering his game to fit the way that Adelman want him to play (i.e taking less dumb (mid-range) shots).
So, for the same reasons why Brewer was the best fit with the first team at the beginning of the season, that same reason will be why Luc is a better fit to play with the first team as the season progresses.
Plus, as you mentioned, the three Bs and DC and Turiaf, would make a pretty good second team if Adelman chooses to go 10 deep.
