I think Sullivan will play the 4. I think we will have depth in the frontcourt, but I don't know about effectiveness. Relying on three freshmen is never a known quantity.

Last year our frontcourt was CJ, Faz, Rucker, and Mehinti. We are bigger and deeper, but younger, than last year.

I'm still not sure how much PT will be there for Sullivan & Calhoun this season. Both could benefit greatly from another year at the dinner table and in the weight room.

I agree. I'm guessing Sullivan is going to have to see some minutes this year. My guess is cj will play 30 minutes a game, mehinti will play 20, Lee will see around 30, and Cokley will get around 20. That means at times 3 of these guys will be on the court at once. My biggest concern is one of these guys get hurt, and then we are going to have some problems. If we stay healthy, we should be fine with those 4.

I'm guessing:
CJ - 30 minutes
Mehinti - 20
Lee - 20
Cokley - 10
Sullivan - 10

CJ splits time at the 3 in a big lineup. Cokley will probably play more if Mehinti gets into foul trouble. Sullivan plays more late in the year, like Madison last year.

I'm just guesstimating but I think we will have a 3 headed center - Mehinti, Lee & Cokley. And they don't all 3 perform as hoped, then I can see Washington being our only big man in a lot of situations.

The 4 will be CJ & Madison

The 3 - Brown & Madison

1 & 2 - everybody else.

Lee/Mehinti
CJ/Cokley/Lew
Brown/Madison
Watts/Baxter
Norton/Collins/Calhoun

My guess is we didn't get Lee here by telling him he'd play 20 minutes a game. I could be way off there, it's just what I think. I'm guessing we are going to have 3-4 guys play about 30 minutes a game, and a whole bunch with between 10 and 15. This is purely speculation on my part though.
