As it stands right now:

Victor
Simmons
Hornsby
Blakeney
Quarterman


ER III
Bridgewater
Epps
Gray
Patterson

Sampson and Malone get pickup minutes, I think Sampson needs a year IMO.

I think if we get a big late here it will push Bridgewater down to the list with Sampson and Malone.

No Malone, no care.

I'd like to think that Malone might make a good enough jump to be more than just a body on the court next season. He's got the size and puts out the effort but he desperately needs to work on his non-existent offense.

Bridgewater has a pretty skilled low post game. I was impressed with his ability to convert with his back to the basket near the rim. For his size, he is remarkable finishing those types of plays.

ETA: I inadvertantly put Malone in the original post. I meant Bridgewater.

Shot in the dark

1-Tim Quarterman/Jalyn Patterson/Josh Gray
2-Keith Hornsby/Brandon Sampson
3-Antonio Blakeney/Brian Bridgewater
4-Ben Simmons/Aaron Epps
5-Craig Victor/Elbert Robinson/Darcy Malone

Simmons would be the perfect SF, but with lack of depth at the 4 will sit there. Blakeney would work better at the 2 but you can almost plug him at any guard spot. I wouldn't be surprised to see Quarterman play the 3 at times.

The depth at guard will be the deepest in the SEC besides Kentucky and I think they'll run and gun at will on teams (hopefully with another year under their belt at a more refined pace).

If Malone took an off season to really murder the strength training he could really turn into a valuable asset. He has the staff and facilities to do just that, he just needs to step up if he wants to be a big part of the team IMO.

He'll definitely guard the wing at times if he's out there with a combo of either Hornsby, Blakeney, Patterson, or Gray.

Maybe from a ceiling standpoint but Gray is a senior and he wont take minutes from him and Patterson was very good last year as a freshman, no way he takes minutes from him.

Sampson isn't a finished product, he'll take a year to ease in, which is perfect for us since we have so many guards this year anyways. I don't see him playing more than 5-10 minutes a game in year 1.

1 important part you're forgetting is Gray and Patterson are ball handlers and Sampson is not.

I didn't know individual teams handed out first and second team awards at the end of the season.

He'll defend the 3 and run the point on O.

We will add one more player, could be Jernard Jarreau.

Still need to see if Victor for sure gets his sixth year which could be a blessing in disguise if he doesn't, I do hope he does but would mean the staff gets to look at more guys in game situations and build more depth, which hurt us last year badly.

Aaron Epps will make a huge jump in terms of minutes and playing time. Believe Tim Quarterman will start off as our 6th man but play starters minutes and be there at the end of games, he looked very comfortable in that role.

1 Gray
2 Tone
3 Hornsby
4 Simmons
5 Victo

Wing Quarterman
Wing/Post Epps
Post Robinson
Guard Patterson
Wing Sampson
Post Malone
