Backcourt has some experience (2 returning players), some shooting (TB, GT) and some depth (H, W).

Front court, as I've been posting, is a CF. With TT starting in the middle (no defense, poor rebounding, no low post game to speak of), and BRAND NEW guys at both PF and SF, we're courting disaster. Like last year (and the year before), teams are going to play out on/stick to our shooters and kill us on the glass. On offense, they'll have their way inside against TT and 2 inexperienced guys.

Don't get me wrong, I like OB and MM .. plenty of potential there. But asking BOTH of them to step into starting roles on either side of a defensive disaster like TT - wow.

I don't know if the answer is to play TT (a proven scorer with some experience) at PF and bring in Sidibe/Chukwu in the middle to rebound and see which of the young guys comes through at SF (they'll be the only ones open because our guards will be face-guarded). But I'm loading up on acid pills for league play if TT's playing more than 20 minutes in the middle.
