Wilson is not going to get most of his minutes at the 4.  Hopefully few to none.  You've also got Polley to share those 1-3 minutes.

The first change I hope we see is knocking down those minutes for J. Adams.  Maybe 30.  Gilbert 25.  That gives you another 10.  Let's assume Freshman B. Adams plays sparingly, because he's in the mix as well.  Smith is going to play, CV, Polley and Wilson, all need to split 65 minutes.  CV is going to have to fight for his.

The front court has 80 minutes to share across Carlton, Yawke, Diarra, Whaley, Williams, Cobb and if he plays the 4, Polley.  Minutes are scarce everywhere.  So what does that mean?

If I had a roster like this, with few stars and a number of interchangeable parts, I'd press and run all game long.  Turn it into a style of play that nobody can play for more than 25 minutes anyway. Arkansas' old 40 minutes of hell style basketball.  Rotate guys in constantly, putting fresh defenders on the opposition and scoring in transition.
