Line up per Reynolds

[dogsrus]

EM @ 1
AW @2
CR @ 3
TB @ 4
WE@ 5... rotate with Sticks.

Assumptions that everyone is healthy, athletic starters...gives us talent off the bench in SS, DD and SM.

Dogs, I think this is Wessler's lineup. I find it hard to believe Sammie is not in the starting lineup, but I can see the logic of this. If we are healthy and Sammie, Dodie and Sam are bench players, we are in pretty good shape. Nothing I have heard so far makes me think AW and WE will not be ready to go...

[Dubl R 1]

If the freshman can give us anything, and I think they will, BU has the potential to be pretty deep this year, assuming we stay healthy.

SM
AW
CR
TB
SS

This is what I am thinking......but there are a bunch of options.....

[Da Coach]

I agree about CR, AW, and TB and I think the Sam M. will start. But I think Sam S. will not be a starter.

This starting line up with Singh, Dodie, SM, Prosser coming off the bench is to talented, experienced and athletic to finish 6/7th in the Valley. Even with the inevitable injury this team has to many good basketball players to be a potential play in team.

houston, Dubl R, etc....tsk, tsk....
do you doubt the experts??
just accept that 6th or 7th is all you can expect this year in a King-O & P'Attitude dominated MVC....

You're right, what was I thinking.

[thefish7]

What I think will happen--
EM
AW
CR
TB
WE

With big time minutes for SM (~30 minutes at 1 and 2), DD, and JP.

The only way I'm happy with this lineup is if EM got much better on his shooting and is a legitimate offensive threat if not guarded. He's the pg..he needs to spread that defense out and be able to dribble drive like nothing. I still think SM is the starter though...if not at the beginning of the season he will after the first couple of games, just my opinion.

[BradleyBrave]

I can go several ways on this, but I think this a great problem to have. We have some real nice depth at the guard position, arguably as deep as any team in the league. As seems to be the case since POB left town, the frontcourt is going to be what makes or breaks us (assuming we can stay healthy of course).

[thefish7]

I have EM at the one because he had taken over the PG starting role last year, and I believe AW to be better suited for full time duties at the 2. My suspicion is that for all of his strengths, SM lost the starting PG job to EM because EM is significantly quicker. Anyway, as BB said, this a great problem to have as I think both EM and SM are good players for BU.

[tornado]

this is nice....finally we have some actual "BU might just be good"-talk!

I agree and let's not forget that EM can put a lot more defensive pressure on the other teams PG. I still would not be surprised to see a EM, SM, AW,TB, WE starting line up. AW did play the 3 while JC played the 2.

[it's boogie time]

I don't think Bradley's starting five is going to 'wow' anybody, but I do see this nine man rotation winning ballgames.

I could see Maniscalco being one of the top guys garnering minutes and not being a starter.
