Do you really think we'll see Keita at PF with someone else at center?

Mitty Intervention Needed

Did Utah play him that way? Maybe they did.

Revised: Major changes in my still too early take on the roster and who is going to play. Enjoy and/or disagree

Starters: Hall, Demin, Saunders, Catchings, and Keita

Sounds good to me. Maybe better. Your starters would probably be my preference, with Richie and Kanon off the bench.

I believe KY is hesitant to trust Baker due to his major injury

Good breakdown. I think Boskovic will move up the ladder as he intergates into the team. His size and skill level...

Could be. He could take minutes from Mag or Catchings

Could see him slide over to the 5 at times and play 5 out

I (respectfully) disagree on Boskovic. I think you are underrating him. I

I was mostly referring to his conference play, but didnt clarify.

Noah's unique skill set will be difficult to replace for sure. I'm thinking

Catchings is the most likely candidate:

Big question is if that will translate to games. We've had a lot of practice

Mitty

12:49pm

Agreed. However, given his skill set and motivation to play in the NBA

Archaea

You could be right. I'm just speculating for fun. From whom does he take minutes? Catchings, Mag, Fouss, or Keba?

roseyscenario

Understood. I'm just furthering the discussion. It still amazes me that

LifeLongLakerFan

Catchings has reportedly been one of the best guys thus far in practice

Agreed. That was basically what I was saying. Bosko may take min from

It could, as it often does, come down to the difference in experience between

With the players we have, it almost seems KY will have two starting teams, or a

Boskovic is the only one who could play C and allow Keita or Fouss to play PF

Don't be surprised if our veterans begin the year as starters.

Chemistry and communication will be the biggest hurdle to start the season,

There is also a whole new defensive and offensive scheme all are learning

Projectoor

11:15am

Offense is very different also, which accounts for some of the change in Baker's projected minutes.

Based on the KY presser yesterday, sounds like the older guys are a bit ahead

tacallaway

Good point about the system. Here's where the veteran advantage comes in:

Mitty

12:57pm

Good thoughts. Though some of the young guys may be close to the vets on those

Demin will start right away for sure.

I wouldn't be shocked at all if Knell and other veterans come out game 1

Mitty

12:53pm

The one thing I'm not sure on is your baseline expectation of top 5 in the Big12

Feel anything from 5-9 is both possible & respectable.

While there will be plenty of experimenting with line-ups prior to conference play, I think the starting line-up heading
