Who ya got?

1-Tim Quarterman (plays a wicked point and can shoot)
2- Kieth Hornsby (no need to explain)
3/4-Ben Simmons (the guy is a facilitator extroidinaire, and future #1 pick)
3/4- Craig Victor (can rebound and shoot, plus plays D)
NOW PLEASE BEAR WITH ME FOLKS
5- Elbert Robinson ( if this guy gets it together, this teams gonna be tough)

We also have a bench which helps a lot. A whole lot

NOW HAVE AT IT BOYS...........

I like it
I just hope we stick to a starting 5 for the next few games to build some chemistry before SEC play.

Agree but Q can't shoot. And shouldn't shoot as much as he does

Playing time should be proportionate to a player's willingness to defend and fight for position to get rebounds.

The guys who won't do either or both can sit until their attitude changes.

1) Ben Simmons
2) Keith Horsnby
3) Tim Quarterman
4) Craig Victor
5)Antonio Blakeney

These are our five best players on the team. Can't be argued. Josh Gray, Brandon Sampson, Big E Robinson, etc. will follow off the bench.

Might just be the best thing for Blakeney to come off the bench right now. Plus we need size to really be competitive.

1-TQ
2-Hornsby
3/4/5-Depends on matchup. Wanna go small you could do Blakeney/Sampson/Patterson at 3, Benny at 4, and Victor at 5. If you wanna go big you can do Benny at 3, Victor at 4, and Robinson at 5.

Elbert isn't getting any faster. I would start 3 guards and Simmons and Victor at the forward spots. I like Gray OR Patterson to start bc of their defense.

I like it. We have to get Robinson kick started some kind of way. We need his big body in there. That gives us, Blakeney, Gray, Epps, Malone, Sampson, Patterson and Bridgewater coming off the bench.

I think TQ, Hornsby, Sampson, Benny, and Victor could be a dangerous full court press option. The length and athleticism with that group is scary.

5) is debatable. Tone is a scorer and he's been in a huge slump so you can almost put gray or epps in that spot

Epps has been coming on strong of late. He was very active rebounding the ball against GW.

I have no problem rewarding him for that effort and making the point to everyone else that guys who rebound and play D will start and/or see more minutes.

I could get behind that starting 5 for sure.

I like the way Epps has been playing but i think him coming off the bench is better. Doesn't mean that he shouldn't get more minutes. My opinion is you start your best five every game (TQ,Hornsby,Tone,Benny,Victor) then you set your rotation by matchups and gameflow.
