seriously... I know Pollard wants to play SF but would he kinda be forced to go to the 4?

Hickey
Morgan
Coleman
Pollard
O'Bryant

Stringer, Hammink, Isaac, Courtney, Godfrey, Ludwig

We may just end up playing like Mizzou this year.

I think he can play both, and will play both wherever he goes. You just have to get your best players on the floor, regardless of position. I don't think he's got the outside shot to be a true wing at this point, but eventually he will need to play there. He's definitely an NBA wing, but will play a lot of PF in college.

Man that would be sweet. Regardless, still awesome we're in the running.

For fun, let's say we land him:

Hickey
Coleman
Pollard
O'Bryant
Godfrey

Even if he wants to play 4, we could just as easily run 3 guys in and out of the line-up with a combo of Pollard, O'Bryant, and Godfrey. Hickey isn't losing his spot, but at times, it would be crazy to give Hickey a rest and possibly have Shane at 1, with those guys. Not guy under 6'5" on the court.

I personally would put the biggest talents on the team where they fit naturally, and let the other guys play a little out of position. Just throwing this out there but

1 Hickey
2 Hammink
3 Pollard
4 Godfrey
5 O'bryant

would actually be a pretty big line up. Our size at the 2 and 3 would more then make up for the 4 and 5. Not saying that Hammink will beat out Morgan, but I do think he has a shot at it.
