Starting Five for 20-21

[Mooch82]

I think Polley/Jackson/Martin get 25 Min each at the 3/4.

I think a 25 mpg average is probably too high for those guys. If they're each getting 25 mpg, that would have to mean Bouk is getting at least 30. Add in Cole, who would probably be about 25 mpg guy, and you're already at 130 out of 200 total minutes, without even getting to the bigs or the other two guards (Gaffney and Adams).

My rough initial sketch without adding anything up was this...

Cole - 25
Bouk - 28
Gaffney - 20
Adams - 15
Jackson - 20
Martin - 20
Polley - 20
Whaley - 25
Carlton - 15
Sanogo - 20
Springs - 10
Brown - 5

This is 223 total...so I'd have to find a way to reduce this by 23 minutes. 75 minutes between the 5 "bigs" may be too much as it would only allow for 5 minutes of "small ball" with one of Martin/Polley/Jackson as the 4. Let's try this...

Cole - 25
Bouk - 28
Gaffney - 17
Adams - 12
Jackson - 20
Martin - 20
Polley - 18
Whaley - 20
Carlton - 12
Sanogo - 18
Springs - 7
Brown - 3

That's an even 200, but some of these numbers certainly seem low. This obviously doesn't even figure in Akok, who could be back in January. Again, going to be quite the challenge for Hurley to juggle the possible lineups and keep everyone engaged, competitive, and happy. Definitely one of the deeper rosters I can remember in recent history. Fired up for the season!

My two cents.. You guys have taken a deeper dive into the roster than most.. I'm going to go out on a limb and predict the following.... The starting line up in Game1 will be different than the starting line up the last game of the regular season.. Will be interesting to see who emerges once practice begins in a few days

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

Cole-Gaffney/Adams
Bouk-Jackson/Adams
Polley-Martin/Jackson
Whaley-Javonte Brown Ferguson/Martin/Springs
Carlton-Sanogo/Javonte Brown Ferguson/Springs

Once Akok is cleared I’d slide Whaley to the 5 and Carlton behind them.
I would not be shocked if Carlton is an Okwandu/Nolan type of starter who “starts” and plays about 10 minutes.

PG: Cole(20)-Gaff(20)
SG: Bouk(30)-Adams(10)
SF: Martin(20)-Jackson n Polley(10)
PF: Whaley(25)-Polley(15)
C: Carlton(15)-Sanogo(20)-IW(5)

I think this is my new lineup prediction. Mins at the 3/4 are flexible.

Springs? Brown?

Springs? Brown?

Brown isn't playing in non blowouts. Springs will take 5-10 min if we want to stay big when Whaley comes out.

I just think that, barring injury, Springs will have more impact than Carlton and Sanogo this season. Just my opinion.

There’s no way on God’s green earth that nearly 7’ senior Carlton is not starting. What drugs are people on? Playing time based on performance is harder to predict. He may lose some if he doesn’t bring it.
