My assessment of the forward situation.  Benny being a sophomore, despite his inconsistencies, especially on the offensive end is getting the starting position by default.

Of the freshman, JB to his credit, is giving all them a shot.  Bunch has tantalizing potential at the offensive end but is just a catch and shoot kind of forward, that is not there yet with his shooting and is limited in the one area that JB wants to see, rebounding. JB is giving him every opportunity to win the job but it doesn't seem to be working out.

Copeland is an intriguing prospect but not really a forward. Unique vision but can't space the floor with a jump shot. If he improves his shot next year he and Mintz could be a solid pair in the back court.

Taylor seems to be grabbing the minutes.  His outside shooting and shot selection, like Bunch is erratic but his form would indicate it is just a matter of time to when that comes around. Most likely will be up and down all season but when he is on his A game it's a huge plus for the team.   He is beginning to look more comfortable in is role and has some nice skills.  His rebounding has been a much needed plus.

Jon Bol is probably surprising everyone. JB appears to have confidence in him because he is grabbing a lot of minutes.  Very limited on the offensive end but his overall length and energy really is helpful in the zone.  If he could only rebound effectively and contribute a little on offense.  He's my favorite ever since I met him in HS.  His running mate in HS is an emerging star at Duke and likely first round pick.
