re: LSU MBB Basketball Talk (in general) with Philips/Miller out (and others) - Wright/Cook in

That's not a bad 5 especially considering they'd have Mwani, Ward, and Reed in the mix as well. I've got to think Ward and Reed are going to really improve this year and see a bunch of time, possibly start - Ward at the 3 (maybe at the 2 in a big lineup, maybe at the 4 in a small lineup) and Reed at the 4 (but maybe the 5 in a pinch).

With the incoming guys, the team has already improved the starters at the 1, 2, and 3 positions and mitigated our biggest loss at the 5. I'll feel pretty decent about this team if we can get another guard who can score (6'3" or taller) and defend and a rim protector.
