I found this thread highly amusing last year., and that was with three absolutely dead-certain starters - Clingan, Karaban and Newton - and a fourth almost as likely, Castle.

This year the entertainment value is off the charts.  Between Ball, Stewart, McNeeley, Abraham, and Nowell I am certain that no one here knows exactly what they’ll show the coaches this fall in running the very complex offense, knowledge and ability on defense, rebounding ability, iso ability at the high D1 level. fit with the other players, etc. Mahaney and Diarra are much more known quantitie.  Johnson and Reed will complement each other, and I wouldn’t be shocked if both get 20 absent foul trouble.  Ross could surprise and make a huge jump in playability … or he could wilt under the competition. Flip a coin.

Speculating on who starts and how many minutes they’ll get at this point is futile.  I trust the coaches.  And I trust the play to fight to arm those minutes.

Here’s what I do know.  This team oozes talent and brings back NC experience, with answers at every position.  I’ll run with that.
