And who are the first off the bench,
Mine starting five
McKnight,
Maddox
Conwell
Freemantle
Traore for now
Off bench,
Obviously, Swain, When he is not a starter in some games
Maddox or Green
When Hugley is game-ready, I think he will switch in for Traore. That might be a defense vs offense option you might need in a particular game
The Wild Card is Rome. When and if he becomes game-ready, he could be a sixth man, too.
I think X could use Zach and Traore as Offensive-Defense players, and the same goes for Rome-Hugley. Traore is reportedly strong on Defense but somewhat limited on Offense, and we know that Zach is Offensive-Minded. Hugley might also be more offensive-minded than D, but he is larger, and ROME is solid on D.
One thing for sure Sean doesn't want to be looking at a team that doesn't rebound like he had last year.
If the season started today who would be your staring five

I asked a ref if he could give me a technical foul for thinking bad things about him. He said, of course not. I said, well, I think you stink. And he gave me a technical. You can't trust em.

Xavier always goes to the NCAA tournament, and almost always makes some noise while there. Projecting anything less than that this season feels like folly--Eamonn Brennan (ESPN Summer Shootaround, 2012)

I agree Muskieman. I haven't seen most of them but I think you nailed it.

Chemistry will likely play a factor in determining minutes, starters, etc. If everyone is playing to their potential/historical production, this team will be very deep with good inside out potential.
Winning is likely going to be key to keeping everyone happy. Playing time is generally less of an issue when the team is winning. Becomes a huge problem when losses mount.

Hmmm! 21 is a good starting point.

Something more to shoot for as the pieces come together.

I could see Hughley starting at the five, however this seems to be the deepest team we have had in a while. I think it is going to be difficult keeping Swain out of the starting lineup based on what I hear and we also have Green who has looked impressive. Should be a fun season.

Re: If the season started today who would be your staring five
Traore is obviously now out so it appears our “depth” at the 5 has disappeared. You might know we would get a bad injury at our weakest position
