I'm not really sure where this James Southerland is a good 3-point shooter came from. He's got nice form but his numbers for three years say he is not a shooter. He shot below 30% his freshman year, just under 37% his sophomore year and just under 34% last year. Joseph (who frustrated most people with his 3-pt. attempts) shot better last year.
 
Southerland shot 62% inside the arc and thats where he needs to take his game IMO. He has a nice mid-range/baseline jump shot. He likes to stand outside the three point line when in reality this year he is going to get alot of burn at the 4-spot and should be trying to use his athleticsm to get some garbage points on weakside boards and get some mid-range kickouts from MCW.
 
For what its worth I think this year's team is going to be like the 2010 team that went seven deep with Joseph and Jardine coming of the bench. My starting lineup would be
 
C-Coleman
PF-Christmas
SF-Fair
SG-Triche
PG-Carter-Williams
 
Depending on who is playing better Coleman/Christmas will rotate at the 5 after the first few minutes of the first half with Southerland reprising the role of Joseph and Cooney reprising the role of Jardine from that year. Keita will play 10-15 minutes a game at most. He's not a bad player but he's a poor rebounder, has lousy hands and very limited offense. I think that makes him the 3rd guy in a 2-man rotation.
