How does this sound...the 5 on the bench are better than some of the starting lineups in the top 25.

Coming into the season I thought there was no way Boeheim would significantly deviate from his rotation patterns.  But all 5 of the subs in the current rotation have made strong cases to be regulars in these creampuff games, I don't know who could be excluded right now.  It may come down to some of the overall 10 having to play their way out of PT against higher competition.

If I had to guess on the way it goes this year, I think all 10 guys will continue to play in some capacity throughout the course of the year, but the PT might be lop-sided on some nights.  You might see 1,2 or even 3 guys getting like 4-5 minutes some games, an occasional DNP here and there, but all of them continuing to appear in most if not all games during conference play.  Last year Boeheim basically played 9 guys, there were a couple of missed games for some guys, and Southerland played in 80% of the team's games.  I don't think it would be a stretch to see something like that with one extra guy in the mix.
