If we get Anselem and Wilkinson and lose Williams along with Taylor/Mays here's my thinking out the gate:
Starters
PF (JR. 6'6, 240) Darius Days [25-30 min/gm]
SF (SO. 6'9, 235) Trendon Watford [30-35 min/gm]
SF (SR. 6'5, 200) Charles Manning [20-25 min/gm]
SG (FR. 6'3, 180) Cam Thomas [25-30 min/gm]
CG (JR. 6'4, 205) Javonte Smart [30-35 min/gm]
Bench
SF (SO. 6'5, 225) Aundre Hyatt [15-20 min/gm]
SF (FR. 6'6, 200) Mwani Wilkinson [15-20 min/gm]
CG (FR. 6'0, 180) Jalen Cook [15-20 min/gm]
C (FR. 6'10, 220) Frank Anselem [10-15 min/gm]
CG (SO. 6'2, 190) James Bishop [10-15 min/gm]
Think that's your 10 man main rotation. "#11" player Bradley Ezewiro and "#12" player unnamed PG recruit (or Cooper) as end of bench guys. I will add the big wild card in there of "#13" player PF (JR. 6'7, 230) Josh LeBlanc getting very good minutes once he's eligible after OOC play and probably taking some minutes from that SF group. He's quite good and could even find his way in starting lineup potentially.
Probably have too many minutes in there but oh well

BTW - heres an amateur's breakdown of Josh LeBlanc's freshman year at Georgetown:
LINK
This due is so made for Will Wade's offense, can tell why Wade wanted him out of high school. Big East all freshman team, and a hugely willing offensive rebounder.

Shareef Oneal is visiting this weekend

If they are all back, I see no scenario where Smart, Manning, Watford and Days don't all start.
The question is whether the fifth person is a front court or backcourt player.

Arizona sucks this year, but has 3 first-rounders on that mock draft.

I'd love for it to happen, but I'm betting against us right now. Just dont know if he'll be ok living in dad's shadow here. It seemed to be a major issue first time around in recruitment.
Also pretty sure he would have to sit out all next season if we took him, not that we shouldn't, but dont know how gets eligible for next season unless he can get some kind of medical pass.

Pretty weak draft year...

mock drafts in college basketball will be all over the place right now.
Watford is Top 30 on that one and not even in the Top 100 on a lot of other lists, really just wont know where he's at until after the season and the mocks start to make a lot more sense and aren't just a ton of stabs in the dark.

Completely agree, no real consensus on him at this point. As more draft boards are updated, I think you’ll see his stock rising.

I believe we are in good shape for Jabari Smith's son.

If he comes here and does the fake behind the back pass dunk, the PMAC would collapse in on itself.

Any chance Josh Leblanc is eligible immediately? I know Wade said he was going to push to get him eligible. Any chance at that?

I know that was the original thought, which I understand, but then he goes to UCLA. Shaq casts a pretty big shadow in LA.
I'm of the opinion that if he is considering LSU to the point of a visit, then he is coming here. I think Shaq cares to much about LSU to have his son play games.
Just my opinion.

sounds like LSU, Memphis & Michigan are all high on his list.
Posted on 1/30/20 at 9:52 pm to Fast Times @ LSU
I wouldn't want Starks anywhere close around this team

ANY chance? Sure, high probability? I'd say no. He was basically booted off his team for an illegal act allegation, but hasnt turned into anything more than that.
Maybe if things got totally dropped he would have a case.

Not a huge deal either way. He won't miss much and will give time for others to get PT.
