Stewart starts with more bench minutes from Ross. Hoping Furphy also gets to show something early in the season as well.
Also could see us going small with 3 guards. Malachi at PG, Silas at the 2 and Solo at the 3.

I'm thinking this is Hurley's chance to see what Demary, Smith and Ball can look like in a 3 guard lineup. MSU is usually a very good rebounding team so we'll see if they can keep up on the boards with a lineup like that. Not sure I like that chance without Reed also.

Stew definitely made me look bad last year and has been an enigma since he got on campus. Please don’t laugh but I see flashes of Paul Pierce when he is zoned in. I am totally rooting for him to take advantage of this opportunity.
Think about this for a second….Hilton Armstrong was a lottery pick! No reason Stew can’t turn things around.

I bet it will be even at first too, but I feel the same way. I’d like to see Furphy get some run vs. the bad schools to see if he’s an option.

Well someone has to start instead of Mullins. I doubt Hurley is going to start the game with 4 players on the court. 😀
Surprised you are not pushing for Paunovic. You seemed to be really high on him based on your previous posts

After watching his intro video and not seeing a single scrimmage highlight I may have underrated how tough it’ll be to crack a lineup with just fall practice.
The biggest thing we’re losing with Mullins is simply someone who can get a bucket. Same problem as last year’s team had as well, and it forced Liam into the Batman role a few times because of it.
To that end the obvious answer is Stewart, and pray it clicks for him and that he brings it on defense and plays within himself on offense. Maybe a Deandre Daniels type jump in confidence? Who knows.
Ross is better defensively but he’s not amazing on that end and the lineup can’t afford a black hole on offense. Know he’s got his backers but just don’t see it in actual games. Don’t foresee Furphy getting more minutes but would love to be wrong there.

Stewart seems like the likely starter but the “replacement” is probably a bump in minutes for him, Ross, and Smith. Just hope Stewart or Ross steps up and takes the role.
