What does everyone think about the starting lineup? I think we have a legit 10 man rotation but we will see. I made guesses on Minutes per game averages too.

Leading Scorer- Trevon

Most Improved- Dietrich

My guess-

Xander A-F (25-30 MPG)
Noah W- F (20-25 MPG)
Timo V- G/F (25-30MPG)
Trevon P- SG (25-30 MPG)
Dietrich R- PG (20-25 MPG)

Subs

Grill (15-20 MPG)
Thornbrue (15-20 MPG)
Max G (10-15 mpg)
Josh I (10-15 mpg)
Gustavo G (10-15 MPG)

Hard to even guess at this early point. I like your choices, but I'll wait until we get closer to get a better idea of how all the new guys are capable of contributing.

I think alot of the players are interchangeable between positions. The player that really intrigues me is Xander Alarie. He put up good numbers against good competition before he got hurt. I think he might be a pleasant surprise

Xander did not have a very high three point percentage in his freshman season at Northeastern (26.3%), but I hear that he has been shooting the three well in practices. Recruiting reports on him from his junior and senior HS seasons at St. Andrew's Episcopal School reported that he was able "shoot the three reliably" as well as create his own shots and rebound well.
I am especially looking forward to him strengthening Bradley's rebounding, an area the Braves were not good at last year (BU finished 9th in the MVC). Xander averaged 7.4 rebounds per game in his partial season last year at Northeastern, a stat that would have easily lead Bradley in each of the last 3 seasons. Bradley lost 9 of their top 10 rebounders from last year's team, and Timoty van der Knaap is the only returning player who averaged more than 1 rpg.
It appears rebounding was a point of emphasis in recruiting guys like Xander, Noah Williams, Ben Thornbrue, Josh Ibukunoluwa and a good rebounding wing like Kyle Grill, to add to TVK and Gustavo Guimaraes.

So many new faces coming in it will be hard at this stage to estimate a starting rotation let alone key contributors off the bench. Only about three months away from the season. Hope it is a good year where we finish in the top half of the league with all the new faces and all.
 
Gustavo will be starting center, I asked someone in the know as season ended if they knew anything on his rehab and was told the last month of practices back in February he was eating up our bigs.. I feel Noah and Trevon will be two of our top scorers, My take right now is Thornbrue will be this teams Linke. Deep bench

That's great to hear about Gustavo. Based on video I'd seen of him before his injury I thought he was a potential steal for Bradley if he regained his health. While I know other fans have been more skeptical, I've expected big things from him since the day we signed him.,
 
I think Gustavo has a high ceiling, but I'll reserve judgement on whether he'll be a starter until we can see a little of him playing against a real defense.
I have also heard that Josh Ibukunoluwa is extremely athletic and the coaches are impressed with his skills. I think he will be part of the regular rotation. At this point of his development, he'll probably contribute more defensively, but he has good offensive skills

I’m impressed you already have all of our players memorized 😃

I have a lot of work to do before the season starts.
