Starting Lineup Projections

Reed, Newton and Murphy are the obvious locks. For me, I hope Coach L goes with Brown and Huell as the other starters. They're the most talented guys on the team and with a relatively easy OOC schedule hopefully those guys develop and are ready for ACC play.

I think Izundu has to start. Without him there isn't much size. Hopefully he's improved a lot.

Need to find a way to get Lawrence a lot of playing time. Not sure if it's better for him to start or come off the bench, but the man needs to play a good amount of minutes. Can do a little bit of everything and has so much potential. The more he plays the better he will keep getting. Love his length too.

What stood out to me Coach L's first presser after talking about each newcomer.

Huell - His face lit up when talking about Huell's athleticism
Dejan - Can shoot the **** out of the ball
Brown - Leader, baller on both sides of the ball, reminds him a lot of Durand Scott
Muhammad - up 30 pounds from his incoming weight of 158
Huell - Barely said anything about other than working hard

This is really good. I wonder if he is upset with Huell because of the off the court stuff.

Honestly, it depends on whether we go small or not.

Small Lineup:

G: Newton
G: Brown
G: Muhammad
F: Reed
F: Murphy

Bench: Lawrence, Izundu, Dejan and Huell

Traditional:

G: Newton
G: Brown
F: Reed
F: Murphy
C: Izundu

Bench: Lawrence, Muhammed, Dejan and Huell

--------------

I think the biggest questions I have are as follows:

1. Is Newton ready to be the starting PG?

2. Is Brown ready to come in, start and play serious burn?

3. Which of our big men (Huell, Izundu et.c) are ready to play quality burn?

4. CBA: Are we better small?

So, did his face light up about Huell? Or did he barely say anything about Huell?:monkey-serious:
 
Really curious about Izundu this year.

Won't miss ICU. Always thought he would have been better

It will be interesting to see if he develops like Tonye. I hope he is more physical than Tonye.

I won't miss that Roger Dorn style of defense.

Coach L just said at his press conference that it will most likely be

Newton
Reed
Lawrence
Murphy
Izundu

We're getting to a point where almost everyone on the roster is going to be a good to great player. No more Haith specials and fillers. Coach L has built a program here, not a team.
