Well, there's only so many balls to go around.  Judah, Joe and Jesse will get most of the offensive touches.

Then you see if Benny breaks out, or anybody else.

Maybe the VA kid, Justin Taylor, who's the shooter, if he can defend at the bottom of the zone.  Maybe it's Copeland, who plays like Josh Pace.  Or maybe Brown is another Tyler Roberson, or Chris Bunch is another Kris Joseph or a Mookie Jones.  I could see Symir being kind of like Gene Waldron at guard, getting us down the floor and into the offense.

This team so obviously would be better off playing man-to-man, but I just don't see him being serious about it, after not really playing much man since 1995-96 when the Zone took a limited team with one true star to the Final.

Peter Carey could be a poor man's version of that kid we lost to Duke.  Who can't use an athletic guy who can score inside, and is fluid and can handle the ball very well for a big man?  I think Munir is pretty clearly going to be our rim-protector / enforcer back-up center.  There might be 5 minutes or so for Carey to show us what he can do.

I think that's the most important thing with this team.  We are unproven in so many places, that you may as well play them all for a month or two, and let them sort it out on the court - but in GAMES, not in practices.  You don't really learn squat about a player without seeing them in a pressure situation in a live game, where the other people REALLY want to beat you.
