Next Year's Team and Minutes

I can't agree with this. DD had a better overall shooting percentage than both SM and EM, even though those two shot better from inside the arc. DD was the most efficient 3-point shooter on the team last year.

I do agree on how very important the other players you mentioned will be on the upcoming season.

I should have prefereced that I just do not like his shooting form, I do realize that his numbers were actually quite good overall and from 3. I just dont like the set push shot he does.

Hey......whatever gets the job done. I might tend to agree if he wasn't our best 3-point shooter. I was surprised to see that both SM (.515) and EM (.490) shot better than DD (.486) from inside the arc.
 
Overall though SM hit some real big shots and when he had the time to set his feet and square up he could the 3 from anywhere better then anyone on the team. The problem was that the other teams were zeroing in on him because if they stopped his shooting they could play a nice zone on us. Now with AW in the mix I believe SM will be able to increase his 3 pt shooting % substantially because teams will have to spend a lot of effort on stopping him first. With the back court depth we'll have a nice rotation that should stay fresh throughout the year. I believe we'll see DD play the 2-3 position and SM the 1-2 and AW mostly at the 3 except when CR and AW are on the floor at the same time. I'll be shocked to see DD, AW, CR, TB in all at the same time because I do not see anyone except EM or SM playing the 1 ever.

1- EM 23 SM 17
2- SM 10 DD 15 AW 10 JE 5
3- AW 20 DD 5 CR 15
4- TB 25 CR 5 JP/MK 10
5- WE 25 SS 10 JP/AT 5

We will have an 8 man rotation for the most part come league play unless one of the freshmen really stand out. This all could change if JL starts playing like Missouri.
 
There is so much possibility and combinations this season that I can't even venture a guess yet. We got depth that we haven't seen in awhile. I don't think it matters much who starts but who plays good each game and finishes the game. I'm sure it's gonna be fun:) The games real early are going to be big for us and I thank the staff for scheduling them. If we win at BYU and win the Vegas tournament - I would hope to think we'd soon be ranked.
 
We have a good problem with so many players on the team that could start, a lot will depend on what changes our staff will be making on our offense and defensive sets, I hope they decide to go with a more traditional set of 2 guards, 2 forwards and a center, my choices to start would be:
pg Maniscalco
sg Warren
sf Roberts
pf Brown
c Egolf
Hopefully Egolf , Prosser and Thompson could also play the 4 or 5 as Singh will only be a 5.
Milos sounds more like a 3 and McCain is only a pg while Dunson could play 3 positions, Eastman sounds like a sg and Simms-Edwards could help at the 2 guard positions. I still say a lot has to do with what changes are made on offense and defense. I would really like to see this team use a full court press more as we are long and athletic.

I like the lineup but, as I said before, I'd rather have Dunson in there over Maniscalco. He gives you everything Sam does plus more defense, more size, and more versatility.

I was going to say something about heart but **** they both lay it out! I suspect that JL will go with match ups during the game and start the players that hustle the hardest during practice and deserve it one way or the other.
