Next Year

[muskieman]

I actually see Love and Bronson splitting the minutes at center, much like Duncan and Love did for most of this year. I think Frease will be brought along slowly, unless there's a need for him to play (injury, transfer, etc.)

You'd thing Brown would have to be the PF starter, but McLean's supposed to be a horse, so the battle there should be interesting.

C.J. would be the likely starter at SF, but B.J. should get minutes there as well.

B.J. should also get minutes at SG, along with Jackson.

I just don't see Jackson as our PG unless his ballhandling markedly improves, so I'm putting my money on Lyons starting as a freshman, or soon thereafter.

Graves and Taylor will get minutes, with Walsh and Redford the wild cards.

I think that CJ's lack of mid range and extended shooting might make him the PF and with Brown showing some ability to shoot the three this year we might see Brown as the SF at times.
I think if the C position is not resolved that we might see an open post with CJ and Brown down and BJ outside.

One thing for sure it will be an interesting off season and I wish I could go to the banquet this year to ask Sean those questions...maybe the Butler Co. steak fry!
I know Sean aid the new guys would be in in June and I bet we see an all out fight for the PG position.

Bronson is history count on it. There is no way he comes back. Rumor and logic will support this theory.

Deathwish and Graves wont be back, they can see the writing on the wall. I hope they move on to a place where they can see the floor.

I question whether LOve CJ and Brown Will all play together....D Brown can defend, but CJ gets killed in thepaint on D...kinda like having 2 stiffs out there on D...unless you brng D Brown top the paint todefend, then we olook at foul trouble and have CJ defending a perimter player.

Dunno how Frease will fit in...bench or start.
Dunno much about McLean at all.

I'd guess:
PG: Lyons...Lionel Chalmers-like
2: BJ
3: Brown
4: CJ
5: Love

Bench w LOTS of subbing
Redford
Lyons
McLean
Dante
Frease

I'd like us to get some guys that can shoot off the dribble. Redford seems to fit this bill. Hopefully, one of the other newcomers will also.
I'd also like D Brown and CJ to extend their ranges to make themselves harder to defend and open the interior for others. 250,000 shots this summer ought to do it. I'll even shag for them.
CJ is a marvel around the basket when the other team isn't too big. UCLA covered him with two big guys when he got near the basket.

I see the point about Bronson and Graves transferring, but would Bronson want to sit out another year for the chance of playing somewhere as a 6th year senior? Maybe.

Graves is more likely, as he's got more time left.
