I would have no problem with a staring line up of:

TC
DW
JJJ

Katin
Luke

Those are 5 vets and we come of the bench with:

Sandy (Hustle)
Marcus & Sam (3's)
Matt (Fouls)

Couldn't disagree more. I think the starters at Rowsey, HC, JJJ, Katin and Luke with TC and DW getting the bulk of the sub minutes.

No Rowsey?

Or Sacar, who I think will get minutes for his defense. From the little he has played he seem pretty quick to the basket as well.

What if I suggested a starting lineup of Marotta, Howard, Anim, Hauser, and Heldt? ;)

The logical solution is a boot camp and a 40 minutes of (reading Ners greatest hits on Derrick Wilson) defensive approach, pressuring 94 feet, pushing the ball, and if the break isn't there lobbing it into Luke and starting the offense from there.

Frankly, that's both the best and worst thing about this team. I can easily see 10 guys, Carter, Howard, Wilson, Cheatham, Johnson, Rowsey, Reinhardt, Cohen, Heldt, and Fischer all being worthy of meaningful minutes. I also wouldn't be shocked if Anim on the basis of work ethic and improvement and Hauser on the basis of size and deep shooting are pushing hard to get their way on to the floor as well. So yeah...that's the whole roster that could very well be worthy of playing time, but obviously the downside to that is there's only so much time to go around.


Don't we come to this conclusion pretty much every August?  It all gets sorted out by the time the conference season rolls around.

Not possible, nobody has found Sacar that I'm aware of.

It also gets resolved by the new players not playing up to a level that justifies their taking minutes from veterans. As an example, Howard may be the more talented player on paper than Rowsey or The Engine but there isn't a big enough talent gap to make up for the significance of the experience gap.

I see TC (rowsey sub), Hanni (DW, Howard subs), JJJ (DW sub), Katin (Cohen, Amin if anyone can find him, Hauser subs), Luke (Heldt).

Everyone will get minutes but starting BE time, there's gonna be an 8-9 man roster.

Not sure if serious (Ners references always make me pause) but I agree with this. I think our strength is in our depth and high pressure defense helps minimize our lack of rebounding.

'reading Ners greatest hits on Derrick Wilson' = hell.    Ergo, 40 minutes of hell.

It's my understanding that he was a peak high school athlete and may have been too good for college athletics...might have eligibility left that he never used. We have a scholarship open....coincidence?

Hanni is our best player!  TC, JJJ, Katin and Luke round out the starting 5.  Good minutes for the other guys.

Lens is a good dude, but it has been rather dull around here without Ners and Chicos to push everyone's buttons.

Do we know if Wojo is done trying to make a point guard out of Haanif?
Starting 5 could be Haanif, Wilson, JJJ, Katin and Luke.

Yes we know that......Haanif might get spot minutes at the point but his days as a starting point guard(at least this year) are pretty much over.
