re: Ben Love Basketball Starting 5

I honestly can't see Quarterman or Mickey start. CJJ has been raving about Coleman's game all off-season, and he looked very good the other day in their scrimmages/practice. Even if that is the starting lineup, the top 5 players who will average the most minutes are:
JOB
Hickey
Martin
Coleman
Stringer

I personally don't think that's even up for debate.

I'll debate. When it's all said and done, I think the top 5 in minutes played will be:

JOBIII
Hickey
Martin
Mickey
Stringer

Coleman's a great "glue guy", but he's a tweener. Too short to be a 3, and not enough of a shooter to be the 2. He'll be an excellent player off the bench. IMO, while I think ultimately Martin turns out to be the better player, I think Mickey makes a bigger impact early. It might take a little while for Martin to adjust to being a 3 at the college level.
