I'm curious to know what our rotation will be at the 4-5 position. I bet the coaches are hoping that Nate can really step it up because that will give them a bit of flexibility playing JP more at the 4. If not JP will play the 5 exclusively. If WE starts that means he is at 100%. After a year of not playing I'd have to believe they will be watching his minutes the first part of the season.

Prosser cannot play the 4, he is a back to the basket kind of player and does not shoot the ball well enough from the outside plus he could not guard a 4 on the perimeter, his lack of height says he is a 4 but he is not.

The past couple seasons we've done this Pick-em, it seems to have been relatively easy to guess the starting 5, but even then, hardly anybody guesses the right combo. (mostly due to key injuries).
It's nice to have a plethera of workable combinations.
Right now, I'd say that 2 guys are easy picks to start, but after that, there might be 7-8 others who have a fighting chance to start (though I can't see the practices, but just based on past performances, Geno's philosophies, and rumors of who is doing well so far)

Here are others who I think have a legit shot of starting from Game 1 other than DSE & WL:

JC
SS
KB
JE
TP
JP
WE

I would think Milos and Nate are the primed to come off the bench and see limited P.T. I hope NW gets 8-10 mpg - that would mean that our other bigs are getting the job done.

The first exhibition game will be at the Renaissance Coliseum on Monday, October 29 vs. Upper Iowa...only a little over 3 weeks away!

this contest is still open and so keep picking......THE PRIZE WILL BE A FREE GIFT CERTIFICATE (NOT A COUPON) TO AN AREA RESTAURANT

Because of the tiebreakers - even if someone else already has picked the
same starting lineup you like, then you can still win if you hit the tiebreakers!

Who are you playing at the 3 guard wily? I love the size, but there isn't much shooting in that offense.

we may have a great local restaurant to "sponsor" this Pick-em -- details pending....but keep picking!!

I'm not playing 3 guards. I'm going 3 bigs but after watching tonights scrimmage I'd start JP instead of SS. Guess its like making a first impression though. You only get one chance. Really liked Pickett. Can't wait till we can get some people around him. Think we'll be better this year but still have a ways to go. Geno WILL get it done. I'm a firm believer but its gonna take some time.
