You could almost start Victor at PF and Dickerson at C. Would be a huge change of pace than what we were accustomed to the last two years, going from two athletic forwards to two more burly power guys
Dickerson
Victor
Simmons
Blakeney
Quarterman
Gives us the most mismatch opportunities but I bet they would bring either Victor or Dickerson off the bench since we have so many quality guards on the team next season and have a primarily 3 man rotation at the big spots.

People tend to forget that LSU has some vets on this team that have proven themselves in conference play. Blakeny is a great talent, but I don't see him starting over Hornsby. With, maybe. But not over.
The biggest reason for that is Hornsby's defense. He and Quarterman were arguably the two best man-to-man defenders on LSU's team last season. IMO that means they have to be on the court. Otherwise LSU could get slaughtered on the defensive end with so much youth and inexperience.
Playing team defense at the college level is probably one of the biggest learning curves a Freshman faces coming in. For as good as Blakeny looks to be, I just don't see him being a better defender than Hornsby at this stage in their careers. That, plus the fact that Hornsby proved last year he was your best outside shooter and most consistent scorer in SEC play gives him the nod.
