Message: [QUOTE="Son of Robert, post: 3545414, member: 7415"] Weighing in with the officially certified version of the starting 5, 2020-2021, this is assuming all these players are healthy and their games are solid. Hurley wants to play 4 out, spread the floor, shoot a decent percentage of threes, be able to dump it down for some post play/inside out play, and he wants ball handlers and playmakers on the floor creating ball movement a la passing and dribble drives. He wants team play, and steady hands to lead, initiate, and guide the team on the floor, both on offense and defense. He wants to play aggressively, yet cohesively, and not have turnovers. RJ Cole Jalen Gaffney James Bouknight Tyler Polley Josh Carlton It is Cole's and Gaffney's team to run and they will start the game together. They are interchangeable at the 1 and the 2. Bouknight starts at the 3 with Polley at the 4. That's four shooters on the floor to open it up, with Carlton down low with legit post moves (much better this year we hope). Hurley is very conscious of team chemistry, morale, culture, and fairness. It may come to pass that this lineup changes, but it's these players spots to lose, and when and if they do, they need to embrace a team first mentality and what their changing role might be, but these decisions will come both through practice and actual game minutes. We have an amazing roster this year; several other players could legitimately start. We'll see how the minutes shake out, and also who is on the floor at the end of games. Gonna be a great ride this year. Bleed Blue! [/QUOTE]
