[QUOTE="bmayuc, post: 3629227, member: 493"] The interesting thing I see in these line-ups is the Jackson/Polley thing. They are precisely opposite players. Polley is a great shooter and does nothing else. Jackson is a subpar shooter but does everything else really well. Ultimately that versatility and raw shocking athleticism should win out. Secondly, I am strait up shocked that some people on this board think Gaffney will start over Cole. Cole is a 1st team all-conference type player for us this year. I like Gaffney, he's going to be fine. But lets get real guys. Cole is starting, pounding the rock every possession, and playing 30 mpg. Dude will have like 17 & 6 per game this year. I don't really care who is starting day 1, but I think if we have a season and there is a tourney, at Tourney time here is our rotation: Starters: PG Cole - 30 min SG Bouk - 30 min SF Jackson - 25 min PF Pork Chop - 20 min C Sanogo - 20 min Notes: This team is a beast physically. Cole will run the show on offense, with options at all 3 levels, and Jackson/Whaley will just roam around killing people on defense. This team could be a +10 rebound type dominator on the glass, as Sanogo/Whaley/Jackson/Bouk all above average at least for their position. Fun Fun FUn. Bench: PG Gaffney G Adams SF Polley PF - Richie Springs C Carlton Notes: I think the Guard rotation will be pretty fun, because we have two steady guys who are reliable, and Hurley can mix/match based on game needs/fouls pretty easily. I tend to think Polley will have a perfect role on this team, just coming off the bench to sit in the corner and drain threes when the defenses collapse on dribble drive, alley oops, etc. Carlton probably will be his best self if he doesn't have to worry about starting or playing 30 minutes and can just beast mode a second team for 5 minutes per half, and Richie Springs, well we will see what we have there. If he boards and plays Defense, Im here for it. I am cautious about Akok, and think Javonte Brown Ferguson will just not really see the court or perhaps strait redshirt due to the depth, but we will see there. Finally, Tyrese is a baller but looks like he will not get to play this year. Javonte Brown Ferguson - Redshirt/spot minutes Akok - Redshirt/healthy? Tyrese Martin - Redshirt/Transfer? [/QUOTE]
