I agree that the final minutes in the rotation will go to either Frank Howard, Taurean Thompson or Matt Moyer.  The other 7 guys are going to be a part of the rotation all year.  At least until December, these three guys will all get their chances.  I think Matt is the biggest longshot, in terms of the physical part of the game and how much smaller he looks than the other guys.  But he's got a big heart.  I was figuring on Thompson being the 8th guy in the rotation rather than Howard, but that's because I see White more as a guard than a forward for us, because we simply have more quality forwards and more choices than we have guards.

If White comes here, which seems to be in the cards, it's because he will get an opportunity to play the 2, rather than be pushed into playing the 4 at Michigan State.

We got Battle over Michigan and Duke because we promised to give him some time at the point, where he and his Dad see his NBA future.  Right now, he plays like a bigger John Wall, but without the 3 point shot.  You put the ball in that kid's hands.  That's why we got him.

There are going to be times this year (White willing) that we average 6-9 on defense - think of this lineup:

PG:  Battle 6-6,   SG:  White 6-7,  SF: Lydon 6-9,  PF: Thompson 6-10 ,  C: Chukwu 7-2

Holy smokes, that's going to be one intimidating zone!
