First of all, they certainly don't match up with mine, but he probably has some inside info that would make his more accurate. He projects the position where each player will spend most of his time this season.

Point: Smith, Thomas, Hagins and Osse
Two: Isler, Dillard and Isom
Three: Neighbour, White, Billings and Hill
Four: Leeper and Evans
Five: Poulter

With three other point guards, I can't see Osse playing much at that position. Freshman Hill being projected as a three. I thought he'd be a four. Thought Gus would be projected primarily as a five. And thought Will and White would be fours. I guess the coaches will want to get their best five players on the court most of the time, and will figure out how to use them. Maybe we'll install Coach Foley's motion offense.

If we take BTH's chart as being accurate, then Will is the most versatile Trojan. I would guess that the 4 is his natural position, but he certainly can play the 5, and shoots well enough to move to the 3 at times, especially since they cannot put anyone one him tall enough to effectively guard him. But WN is the only Trojan with three positions listed. I think an argument could be made that White could play the 5 in a pinch, which would give him three, but with three guys 6-10 or taller, he probably will not be required to.

In any case, I like the possibilities for our starting lineup, and I like our depth. And with all the first year players we had last year, a couple of guys are likely to take big steps forward. I like it!

Do I read this right? Is BTH saying that Poulter will be the Starter at Center?? If so, then BTH must have some inside scoop.

No. He is saying that Poulter is the only player whose principle (only) position is center.

But he doesn't show anyone else at the five. Not Gus or Will.

According to the chart he lists Will, Gus, and Evans as possibilities as the 5 spot.

I must have misread the chart. I'll look again. I did. I only saw the names under the positions. I didn't notice the extensions into other positions. That makes sense now. Thanks for pointing that out.

bth just lists the spots the kids can play not who will start, imo.

I dont think steve knows at this point.

I would assume the only two sure starters are Neighbour and Isler. Everything else is up for grabs. Especially the point guard spot.

That would be my guess.
