Starting lineup

[mu03eng]

There is no way that Chartouny and Markus are not playing the majority of minutes together

Wojo got the message that starting doesn't matter.

[Loose Cannon]

I like your line-up, the question gets to be the fragile emotions of players.  Some just want to start.  I started as a senior in HS, if I did not make my first shot, I know
I was the first to taken out.  Finally, I said to the coach, I do not need to start.  So after 4 minutes I was in.  I am sure I played the rest of the game then.  Did not bother
me that I did not start.

I think those are the types of solutions you look for in recruiting a player's character.  But as many have said, Starters may not have the most minutes with the depth and talent on this team.  Heck many may not be on the floor in the last few minute.

Hardest workers in practice?

This does not bode well for the season when walk-ons start over our scholarship players. I guess we are really going to suck this season.

Yes...We're doomed!

Not surprised with Morrow at the 5. Stunned at no JC.

Not surprised with Morrow at the 5. Stunned at no JC.

Still learning the system I think. Plus no Elliott means they might need to stagger Howard and JC more.

[Marcus92]

This may be no different than the open practices, where Wojo tried basically every conceivable different lineup to see what works best. I wouldn't read too much into Joseph not starting this game. He still played 24-25 minutes. (Sacar got the most court time with 28 minutes.)

[TheyWereCones]

I had the starting lineup correct except for Ed instead of Theo.  If Theo is healthy, I think I had it pegged.  It really doesn't matter.  Joey, Ed, Jamal, Joe, Matt...if any one of those guys starts a game this year I won't be surprised.

[alexius23]

Why was Theo in civies? Who were other 3 guy at the end of the bench....not suited up?

[Marcus92]

According to the JSonline article, Theo has a thumb injury and was held out as a precaution. Ike Eke, Greg Elliott and Koby McEwen were also in street clothes.

[GGGG]

Not surprised with Morrow at the 5. Stunned at no JC.

You're "stunned" because a graduate transfer didn't start an exhibition game?  Starting line-ups evolve.  He will get plenty of playing time.

[MU82]

Wojo after the game:

"I really think, with our group, we have eight - maybe nine - guys that could start for us. Starting is a nice badge of honor and every kid wants that. But we need to be a team that more than five guys consider themselves starters."

Bingo!

This, obviously.
