Any updates on starters?

[snydrosooner]

Now that practice has started, anyone hear anything about who is running as starters?

 

[Boom Soon]

There’s so many different ways the lineup could go. It’s exciting. Moser’s most talented team to date

 

[Moneyball]

I have no intel but I think this lineup would be really fun & solid. Got shooters and athletes. Plus only 1 bad defender in Pack starting.


1-Xzayvier Brown
2-Nijel Pack
3-Derrion Reid
4-Tae Davis
5-Mo Wague

Bench guys getting real mins
Dayton Forsythe
Jadon Jones
Jeff Nwankwo
Kai Rogers
Kuol Atak

That particular starting lineup would only have two real shooters, but of course that wouldn’t mean that group would play all their minutes together. This feels like a team where there will have to be some mixing and matching because the best athletes/defenders aren’t necessarily great shooters. I’d guess some of the cupcake games will be used to explore who plays best together.

hard for me to be too excited when there is so much turnover year over year

Forsythe is not going to start this year. Not alongside Brown and Pack.

I think the 5th starter is likely to be Jones or Nwankwo, with Reid having an outside shot.

Yea that’s an excellent point. We would be tiny on the perimeter with Forsythe on the floor at the same time as Brown and Pack. Seems like he is more likely to be the guy who subs in whenever one of those guys needs a rest or is in foul trouble. I’m sure he will get plenty of minutes, but can’t have more than two of those three on the court together.
