Ellis / Baugh / Lomax
Q / Ellis / Hardaway
DJ / Nolley / Thomas
Williams / Thomas / Stokes / Rand (ordering of last 3 may be game time decision)
Cisse / Dandridge

I list Ellis and Thomas twice as I can see both playing minutes at multiple positions. I could also see Q spelling DJ if Nolley is unavailable.

Q averaged the most minutes last year. It's hard not to see him starting. I think Stokes will get more time than people think. Cisse will get into foul trouble and Stokes may be the offensive option at the end of games and Cisse the defensive option as Penny plays offense/defense.

I forgot all about Lance Thomas. If we play physical teams, I see more of a Williams, Stokes, Cisse, Dandridge even Rand as options, but if we play a small team, Thomas will play more. Nolley may even be at the 4 when we go small.

Don't underestimate a healthy Dandridge, we have not seen him 100% on the court and he was a freshman. Regardless of who starts they both get a lot of minutes.

It’s really nice to have the quality depth we have now. Let’s just hope Williams and Nolley get their waivers.

If we get those waivers, then we are a final four contender. That team would be stacked.

While we're at it, I hope the NCAA doesn't have Cisse's eligibility as part of their ghost protocol.

Let's see if we can finish in the top 2-3 in the conference before we start talking final four contender.

It all comes down to the chemistry at that point. Would probably be the most talented team from 1-13...but everybody has to buy in and the coach needs to play the best 5 on that given night. Easier said than done, I'm sure.
