I am not comfortable with either Cumberland or Williams breaking a press on their own...but I don't mind any of them rotating and initiating the half court offense. So we will have to see what happens when we get full court press on us. McNeal may have to come in. I would be surprised if he is a starter or gets starter minutes. |

I think Mcneal is going to see significant minutes. MAW too (for a FR).
In today's modern college basketball you can get away from running a true PF, true C but you will get murdered without a true PG. I think our best starting 5 is: Mcneal, JCx2, Williams, Scott with Diarra, MAW, Davenport, Gillam getting respectable minutes. Diarra hasn't shown me enough to think he starts. |

I think there's a good chance Jaevin plays starter-like minutes (~25/game) but whether he starts or not remains to be seen.
I could see a starting line-up of McNeal, Jarron, Williams, Scott and Sorolla but Jaevin and Diarra end up getting more minutes than McNeal and Sorolla. If Jarron picks up a foul early in the game, throw in Jaevin right away. If McNeal misses a few open shots, have Jaevin take his place. If Sorolla struggles to guard a smaller, quicker center, throw Diarra in and possibly move Scott over to the 5. Lots of options for in-game adjustments if we have some of our more versatile players come off the bench. |

defensive rebounding is important to brannen and not only is scott not a great one, none of the guards are good rebounders. KW is NOT a good rebounder defensively. his DR% was barely higher than jenifer and broome. jarron is alright for a sg, but he's nowhere near what Parker was, and nobody else is even close to what jarron is. its going to be interesting to see how brannen works around this. |

Jaevin could start over KW. He's a better player. KW 2nd half wasn't that great. Jaevin probably didn't come here to be a 6th man. He could have gone other places and started, he's probably our 2nd best player, he's going to start I would have to think. Brannen has no loyalty to KW like Mick would. |

Just my opinion, there is no way Keith Williams does not start. If all the Cumberland movement would not have happened, Williams would be the face of the program with the highest ceiling.
No one has been more aggressive, to the point he will dunk on you in the Cronin era than Williams for players 6'5 and under. That speaks volumes to the type of fearless player he is. You can't teach that.The last 2 years of Keith have been like driving a stick, wrapped around the notion of "I might be coming out" No that we've switched coaches, I think we can say bye bye to the stick driving version of Keith, to the automatic drive Keith. I also saw a comment about rebounding in regard to Keith...Come on man, I thought his rebounding was superb, outside of %'s due to game situations, and playing time scenarios. I must have been watching a different Keith Williams...IJS |

Starters PG Mcneal SG Jarron C Forward Tre Scott I guarantee these 3 starters. But will it be Keith or Jaevin on the other guard spot??? One or the other will be the super 6 man with lots of minutes clearly. As for the 5th starter a forward but not sure who yet.
