Projected minutes breakdown
I started out by listing out all scholarship players and sorting by how many minutes I believe they deserve. This was based on seniority and talent.
Minutes Division
Dallin Hall 26.0
Egor Demin 26.0
Dawson Baker 24.0
Richie Saunders 24.0
Trevin Knell 20.0
Mawot Mag 22.0
Keba Keita 20.0
Fousseyni Traore 20.0
Brody Kozlowski 18.0
Elijah Crawford minimal
Trey Stewart minimal

Getting into positions was a little more tricky. The one issue we currently have with the roster is that we have a lot of 2s and 3s and adding Egor (as a 2) only makes the room more crowded. So, to help relive this, I gave Egor all of the back up PG minutes. Hall and Egor's minutes would be staggered, kind of like how Luka and Kyrie's minutes are staggered for the Mavericks. This opens up the possibility of giving Baker and Trevin more minutes.

Top Lineups:
Startering: Hall, Egor, Richie, Mag, Keita
2nd team: Egor, Baker, Knell, Brody, Fouss
1st Team (while Egor is on the bench): Hall, Knell, Richie, Mag, Keita

Concerns: "Why doesn't Crawford get many minutes?" This goes back to the issue. We have a lot of 2s and 3s. If Egor goes to the 1, then Knell and Baker get more playing time. So really, Crawford is fighting for minutes with Baker and Knell because Egor can take his minutes. IMO, I'd rather have our upperclassman get playing time, even though Crawford is talented.

"Is Kozlowski ready to contribute year 1?" I don't know. This really depends on if he can develop his defense, which is a tall order for a freshman. Shooting shouldn't be a problem. IMO we need another 4 to fight for playing time. (Maybe Kanon?)
