I am trying to take over the "sunshine" title from Steve.

You might be right.

Next year could be a surprise because other than SG the team has the right player at the right position.

Jackson is apparently a natural PG. Bond and Ellison can back him up. I wouldn't be surprised to get see Ellison get significant minutes as a true frosh. I saw both he and Lamonta Stone Jr. play and his game is better and he is a little faster. I believe Ellison will also be a leader.

Minnie is a true PF. JT4 is a true center. Bond is a natural SF.

As I've stated before, this year we had too many players playing out of position.

If I were Murphy I'd get the kids on the court in July and ask them to stand on the court where they think they are best suited. There is a ball on the court by the three point line for the PG.

I assume we'd see Jackson run for the ball, Minnie and Bond head to the corners, JT4 under the basket, etc.

It would be fun to see where Harris, Groce, Epps, etc. go.

Would they run next to Jackson in the back court or run up to Bond in the front court.

Or maybe Bond runs to the SG position taking from what Aaron posted (Jackson, Bond, Nobles, JT4 and Minnie).

Just thinking out of the box...
