I talk to somebody Sunday who seen Joe play a lot and I came away thinking it was Joe as well! Especially because buddy is going to get a lot of minutes at the two and he can’t play the three.Joe G
It really could be four guysJoe G And I say that considering I have no idea and really think it could be one of four
Agreed, I think the year in the program is going to help tremendously, and he will have something to prove against the freshman in pre season practice.Shocked if not Carey

saying it doesn't make it soRecruiting balance is off. Too many G's not enough 4-5's.
JC Buddy JG3 Goodine Washington Hughes. 6 Guards.
saying it doesn't make it so
elijah hughes played close to zero minutes at guard at syracuse & ecu combined. counting his season at ecu, he has played many more minutes as a big forward than he has as a guard
This “Hughes is a/should be a guard” narrative is one of the weirder ones I’ve seen on here.

so that's 5 guards
we have hughes, oshae, marek, braswell and guerrier as forwards 5 forwards
we will have bourama, marek, and jba as centers. 3 centers
unless you are practicing some kind of new math with which i am unfamiliar, that does not look like an unbalanced roster
Which, hopefully is being differentiated from the "Hughes could be a guard" narrative.
It comes down to Goodine and Carey. If neither of them are consistent enough, Hughes may get some time there.
sez youWe still need a real center. JBA is a stretch 4 and is not that explosive, not a rim protector.

I want to qualify this by stating up front that I expect Buddy to start. Kid had a good year, he played a ton, he's a great shooter, he's the coach's kid, etc. -- he almost certainly starts at 2.
That obligatory qualifier aside, I think that the main question for the lineup is: how good is Quincy Guerrier, and does he need to be out on the floor? If he isn't the stud I think he potentially might be, then he'll have to earn PT as a reserve. Hughes starts at 3, Buddy starts at 2.
But if he's really good, then I could foresee a starting lineup with Guerrier / Brissett at forward. Which in turn could have a cascade effect to the 2. Maybe under that set of circumstances, Hughes slides to 2 and Buddy continues to come off the bench, albeit playing a lot of minutes and being the team's sixth man who comes in for a lot of different players, and just has the lineup adjust depending on who's removed.
Again, I understand fully well intellectually that Buddy is JB's son, and is the likely starter at the 2. But in the interest of getting the "best 5" out there, per IMatt's post above, then Hughes at 2 could [emphasis on "could"] be something we see.
I 100% agree that what happens at PG and what happens at C are the two other big questions for the team.
If the backcourt minutes go mostly to joe, buddy, and Washington it would be our least athletic zone up top since 1996. Since JB favors defense I think it’s goodine and Carey’s job to lose.I talk to somebody Sunday who seen Joe play a lot and I came away thinking it was Joe as well! Especially because buddy is going to get a lot of minutes at the two and he can’t play the three.
But I think a goodine is a higher talent
