OLD THREAD: Starting five...with updated comments

[houstontxbrave]

2 certainties:

Taxes were due on April 14th

Warren, Wilson and SM will start next season.

Warren is possible player of year candidate

Wilson is a possible NBA player

JL sees himself in SM, SM is his boy and will start possibly for every healthy game for the next 3 years.

The next 2 spots could be anything from another guard.. DD, Roberts, EM or it could be Thompson or Egolf.

last spot is whoever makes a huge stride this summer and dedicates himself to Bradley Basketball... Im talking about Austin or Collins.

But it does not matter who starts as we know, it matters who finishes games and contributes for an entire 40 minutes. The possiblities for next season are so numberous its really exciting.

I just hope we are at least .500

I guess we will have to wait and see. You are not going to dash my dreams for the kid or his dreams, why would you say that about one of our players. I'm not looking for an answer, that's why there was no question mark.

I really wrote that about Wilson with the because of the "heated" thread awhile back about whether or not he or anyone in the MVC is an NBA type of player.

I think he is incredibily talented and if he can play what I think is a more natural 3 this coming year and has to do less of the work on the boards and can get out more in transition we will see even more of his talent.

I think he will get paid to play the game eventually, probably not in the NBA but who knows.

After reading the WE article, he could become a big contributer next year. Just something to look forword to....

I'm not trying to dash anyone's dreams...I'm just being realistic that's all. He might play overseas. If Cellus isn't in the NBA(maybe later we'll see) why would you think TW would?

I dragged up this old thread to see where we are now compared to where people thought we'd be last spring.
For the most part I don't think we're too far from what everyone expected at this point.


We are 3-2, and the starting five has included Dunson, Wilson, Roberts, and Maniscalco in all games (except one start missed by SM due to injury).
Will, Eddren, & DC have split the other starts 2:1:3.

Here are the minutes played thus far per player - all players appearing in all five games except where noted:

Dodie Dunson 32.6
Sam Maniscalco 30.8
Theron Wilson 30.0
Chris Roberts 27.2
Sam Singh 19.2
Eddren McCain 18.0
Will Egolf 12.3 (4 games)
David Collins 12.0 (4 games)
Taylor Brown 11.2
Darian Norris 11.0
Anthony Thompson 1.5 (2 games)
