What Will The Starting 5 Be On Opening Night?

-Necas
-Hugley
-Guinyard
-Cam
-One of the Williamses/Leaning toward Jimmy because ball handling seems like a need with the other 4 on my list.

van Bussel, Dixon, & Lawson are strong bets to have consistent bench roles. 10, 19, & 11 minutes respectively seems about right.

I really don't understand how the minutes are supposed to work out if Jake, Hall, & the other Williams, are all healthy. It is a rarity that great teams have 11 players in a consistent rotation with all seeing significant minutes.

phil95, it’s hard for me to remember all of the players on this roster.  All of the freshmen are wild cards.  I think that Coach Dru will give the most playing time to his best defensive players. Necas, Cam and Hugley thus are locks to start. Guinyard by default at the point. I would not be surprised to see Dixon as the 5th starter.

I would be very surprised.  But I hope to see it.  Being that big inside at the same timeis so rare.  I hadn’t even considered it.  But now I can’t stop thinking about it.
