If I had to guess it would be Mickey, Simmons, Blakeney, Hornsby, Patterson, with quarterman, victor, and grey coming off the bench

Many thanks gentleman

PG: Malik Newman
SG: Antonio Blakeney
SF: Ben Simmons

C: Jordan Mickey

Bench: Keith Hornsby, Tim Quarterman, Jalyn Patterson, Josh Grey, Darcy Malone, Aaron Epps, Elbert Robinson, Brian Bridgewater

Simmons/Quarterman
Victor/Epps/Simmons
Calling it now: Robinson. Saw a Vine of the team walking out for the NCAA's, and he has transformed his body. I think he'll be very good fod LSU. Then you can put Victor at the 5

Are you seriously bringing Quarterman off the bench?

If we don't land Newman then Quarterman is our starting PG next year. If we keep Mickey it would be:

PG: Quarterman
SG: Blakeney
SF: Simmons
PF: Victor
C: Mickey

Hornsby would be first off the bench in any scenario. We still have Gray and Patterson for excellent guard depth and a more liberal rotation. I'm really hoping Robinson and Epps step up like I know they can if they put in the work and build their endurance.

If Victor isn't as dominant as we hope, we'd substitute Hornsby and slide Simmons up to PF. Victor would still get at least 15 minutes per game in any scenario.

Yep...

Some of our returning starters from this season will most likely come off the bench next season due to the additions of Simmons and Blakeney. If we get Newman as well, then that just adds another returning starter to the bench.

For a team that had no depth this year, we will have a LOT of depth next season. Patterson, Gray, TQ, Hornsby, Blakeley are all PGs or SGs. If we get Newman, that's another one. Then we have Simmons, Victor, possibly Mickey, and hopefully Robinson will be adjusted to his new body and ready to contribute. That's not just depth but quality depth as well, which is huge.

TQ
Hornsby
Simmons
Mickey
Victor

Second rotation of JP Gray Blakeney Epps Elbert. And if we play teams with small bigs expect Bridge

you honestly think we are starting 3 freshman who have never played D1 basketball before now and a transfer?

Get real people even Kentucky Can't win with all true freshman.

My line up:
PG Quarterman
SG Keith Hornsby
SF Ben Simmons
PF (if he stays) Jordan Mickey
C Robertson (if he developes)

or if Mickey leaves:
PG Patterson
SG Keith Hornsby
SF Quarterman
PF Simmons
C Robertson

Simmons is a lock to start. If we get Malik Newman, he will be a lock to start as well. Simmons has been the consensus #1 player in the nation and Newman is top 5. And both are projected as lottery picks in 2016 draft. If we get Newman, that's 2 freshman that are locks to start. And Blakeney is 1 of the best pure scorers in the nation and will probably be the best scoring guard on the team. He's a lock to start if we miss out on Newman.

So we will have 2 freshamn starting regardless of what happens with Newman. I think TQ is the only guard who will keep his starting spot, due to his size / length and D. But Johnny Jones loved him off the bench earlier this year, so who knows what happens with that. Patterson will come off the bench. Hornsby is the tricky 1. Great leader and had a fantastic season for us, but isn't on the level of Blakeney / Newman.

Regardless, we will have a lot of quality depth next season
