C Nate Boothe,Zach Garber,Luke Knapke
PF Tony Anderson,Kurt Hall
WF Taylor Adway,Jordan Lauf
2G Jonathan Williams,Jaelan Sanford,Chandler White
PG Nick Rogers, Stuckey Mosely
Thoughts?
Kurt hall to starting wf and Lauf works on tree ball to start at 2g
Really looking forward to seeing Jon Jon Williams & Boothe take big steps forward next year and lead the team. Going to be strange to not have Juice at PG. :-(
PG - Stuckey
SG - Jon Jon
SF - Lauf
PF - Adway
C - Boothe
I think that's how it will be to start the season, with experience starting over potentially more talented players. Unlike this season when the starting lineup never changed, I think things will be fluid with Hall, Anderson, and Rogers getting opportunities.

C Boothe is our go to guy next yr, garber is the backup, knapke is not a center
PF Adway backed up by Anderson, then Knapke if he does't RS
SF Hall/Lauf - whoever improves more over the off season starts, the other is a 6th man type, White/Sanford/Williams may all play here some too in certain lineups
SG Jonjon if he brings energy, Mosley some when another ball handler is on the court, Sanford/WHite
PG Mosley, Rogers, maybe a little of Sanford here
Mosley and Hall will be most improved players, imo. both were on the cusp of being real good late in the season. boothe could be one of the top big man passers in the country next yr and should average about 15 and 8. Jonjon is good when he is aggressive, attacks and plays relentless. when he is moody or thinks too much he's more of a liability. we'll see who he wants to be now that the stage is his for the taking. Sanford and White are versatile guys who should compete for pt very quickly. coach k will have a lot of flexibility with his lineups, positions may not mean much

I agree re: Jon Jon. I think he always felt like the little brother to the seniors. He SHOULD be our leading scorer and one of our leaders, along w Lauf and Boothe, if he accepts the challenge of becoming the Big Brother.
What's that saying? Something about it doesn't matter who starts, its who is on the floor at the finish? I think we'll see multiple starting line-ups next season with almost all of these guys getting plenty of minutes shared. Need some production from the bench next season. Jon Jon did that as a freshman so maybe one or two of this incoming class will do the same, or maybe Jon Jon embraces that role again as a leader, or maybe Rogers is capable at the point and Stuckey becomes that key 6th man? Will be interesting to see. Still have one scholly available, and if it gets utilized now, we may have an inexperienced team but perhaps the deepest one we've had in quite awhile.

I would go with that lineup, with Sanford and White getting a lot of minutes.

I see this as the more likely starting lineup but need to see the freshman more to be sure.
Could also be Hall instead of Lauf and or Rogers instead of Stuckey.
I could see Garber backing up at PF, or starting if Adway or Anderson arent ready

Just my opinion, but I believe Adway and Anderson will be able to contribute from day one. They could be the best pair of forwards we've recruited in decades. Size, athletic ability, inside outside scorers. Can they play defense, do their schoolwork, not be knuckleheads etc.? Who knows.

adway seems pretty grounded. anderson is a religious guy if you want to read anything into that. he's also already spent a yr of hs living away from home in a different environment. coach k and his staffs have been smart about who they recruit. there is very little reaching after guys with talent but character issues. the only kids that haven't worked out on the court are guys like lemons, a williams, aparicio, aj mathew who were good students and solid teammates but only mediocre college players.
A lot of us thought Anderson was going to see significant PT as a true frosh, some even said he would start. So much for that hype...
