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

roseyscenario Work-in-Progress

10:35am

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

Projectoor

10:46am

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

PJMort

10:49am

Could be. He could take minutes from Mag or Catchings

roseyscenario

10:51am

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

Projectoor

10:56am

Could also see Mag and Catchings playing more on the wing alongside Boskovic.

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

I (respectfully) disagree on Noah

10:56am

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

LifeLongLakerFan

10:57am

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

Mitty

12:42pm

Catchings is the most likely candidate:

Archaea

12:44pm

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

1:00pm

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

roseyscenario

11:00am

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

LifeLongLakerFan

11:08am

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

tacallaway

11:22am

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

Mitty

12:46pm

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

Archaea

10:58am

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

Mitty

12:51pm

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,

Archaea

11:13am

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.

roseyscenario

11:37am

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

tacallaway

11:26am

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

tacallaway

1:12pm

Demin will start right away for sure.

JuicyJam

12:33pm

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

ldssdl

12:49pm

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

Soupie

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

Knell's stock is high right now based on what KY wants

Thank you, very well written and well thought out. Great information I’m excited

Great informative post. Sorry if I missed it but is Mboup no longer coming?

Cooouuugs

If he is not in school by now, assume there is some kind of delay for at least a semester.

roseyscenario

3:46pm

Mboup probably won't be joining the team until January.

Trappist1F

4:13pm

Based on what KY has said I think Boskovic will play a much larger role...

Trappist1F

4:11pm

Have him at 14mpg or 35%. You could be right he plays more than that but not at center unless Keba or Fouss are injured.

roseyscenario

4:41pm

KY said in his presser that he sees Boskovic as a stretch 5.

Trappist1F

5:21pm

Wow that is interesting. I hadn't heard until now the projection of Bosko

Mitty

5:54pm

KY has hinted that he wants to run a fairly positionless system.
