Sam will most likely not receive significant minutes as a true freshman. I am not "being down" on the kid in anyway, however, it is unlikely he comes in a freshman and plays big minutes.

Agree about Sam.

But breakdown the minutes. They all can only play the 5. So there's only 40 minutes for the 3 of them. And that assumes Penny never goes small ball with Deandre at the 5 (unlikely).

Sam will get some play - say 5 minutes.
If Cisse comes back, you can expect he will get more minutes this year - it will be a condition for him to come back. Say he goes from 19 to 25.
That leaves 10 minutes for Malcolm - max. He's been around 13 minutes for his career.

Will Malcolm be happy having his minutes reduced in his 3rd year?

I hope Cisse comes back but if he's laying conditions on what it takes to get him back, I hope he doesn't come back. Penny needs to run the team the way he thinks he needs to. Not have someone tell him how many minutes he need to play.

Heck I accept those conditions if he accepts mine...

Shoot 70ish percent from the line and be able to hit open 12 foot jumpers...He meets my conditions I would guarantee he can play 25 minutes a game.

I would settle for 60% from the line and an occasional drop step and jump hook from 8 feet
