Somewhat informed minutes distribution discussion

Ok, so vs VCSU we started:
Duane
JJJ
Cohen
HE
Luke..

Is this the perceived starting line up for Belmont then? No engine or Cheatam starting?

I could see starting the season like that. Figure from an experience perspective, it's our best lineup. I expect at some point, either Carter or Cheatham will lock down the point. Probably whichever one is the better defender.

Yep. Cheatham looked like the real deal yesterday.  Obviously against lesser competition, but I could see him being the 3rd or 4th leading scorer on this team pretty easily.

So, the last two games were eye openers, I think we can all agree. We have all agreed and very much disagreed on Wojo's motivational tactics, the white T's, who should start, who shouldn't and whether every game is or isn't nationally televised.
What we can agree with is that we won the tournament!
So the next question is... Is this our starting line up? Are we going to continue to bring our veterans (Albiet young veterans) JJJ and D.Wil off the bench and start HC and the Engine?
Is this our best line up?

Discuss.

I'm good with it. Nice to have some firepower off the bench. And with Traci and Haanif starting, I think the emphasis to start the game will be where Wojo wants it - getting the ball inside.

Duane will remain near the top of the list in minutes played however, even off the bench.

It could end up being a matchup thing.  DU, Haanif, and Chief sharing the two wing positions.

One thing I do note, Wojo's not afraid of long minutes.  Guys like Matt, Sacar and Wally will get some here against the cupcakes but unless something changes between now and January the core rotation is 7 players.
