But with Austin, Shaq, and Burrell - seems like 2 seniors and 1 junior should start.

Yeah. I'm curious to see it unfold.

They just need to do what they do best and from what I have seen they both seem to be team players. The issue will be the backcourt (whether or not we get very good grad transfer) and the progress of Markel and Kedren. The front court is not the problem and should be fine

If Burrell starts, how good can they really be? The only guy from last year's team that would start for many other high major teams is A Nichols.

I realize the Lawsons will be freshmen, and not of the UK freshmen type mold, but I think you have to start them over the guys Memphis currently has. At least they have potential to be good high major players. Burrell, Hawkins, Godfrey, Woodson, Cunningham, etc. should not be starting, let alone be considered major factors, if you expect a Sweet 16.

Him and everyone else. Some really bad basketball here.

They have already been crowned. Why continue to work hard and actually learn to play basketball?

Are we assuming that Coach Lawson will cause chemistry issues if his boys don't start? Or does anyone actually know his personality would suggest that...?

Likes: his touch, length, athleticism
Dislikes: matador D (not moving his feet and playing perimeter D with his hands)

Dedric Lawson (Memphis)

Lawson was 0-of-2 from three and just 1-of-5 from the field on the night.

He managed six rebounds and two assists for the East.

Grade: C

Burrell should be starting at the 2.

I keep hearing this class is the worst since 2005 when McRoberts, Green, Blatche, and Monta were the top recruits. Outside of Simmons and a few other guys, it's a weak class.
