I'd rather have Hughes in there for his offense to start. I like the idea of Carey being the offensive spark coming in off the bench, with Dolezaj being the defense/energy guy off the bench.PC's current health notwithstanding,
5 - PC/BS
4 - Marek
3 - Oashae
2 - Battle

Hughes the super-6th off the bench.

And imagine having PC at the top of the zone with his length contesting shooters.Small ball but not with Marek or Oshae at the 5. Options are limited.
5- Hughes
4- Marek
3- Oshae
2- Tyus
1- Frankie
How many centers will we face this year that will punish this roster? I'm watching UNC right now and their 2 best players Maye and Johnson can play center yes I'd probably start Sid or PC but I could see that lineup giving a lot of teams trouble. Plenty of size up top and on the wings.
Elijah gets a ton of steals to begin with imagine how many he'd have playing in the middle of our zone.

I don’t agree with that lineup, but I do agree that we can beat UNC this year. They are all perimeter on offense. If we play good D and they don’t light it up I like our chances. All those big monsters from previous years are gone, Pinston is gone. They are talented but they are not the matchup nightmare that they have been for us in the last 3-4 seasons.
Put Carey at center. He's gonna be Magic..um,
You’re proposing Elijah Hughes play center?
I meant to watch some of the UNC-Texas game tonight. Looks like it was a good one but Texas took them down.
I watched most of it. Good game. UNC still has Maye and two talented swingmen in Johnson and freshman Little. Their guard Coby White carried them with 33. He struck me as the kind of kid who looks like he could either have 30 against our zone, or he could go 2-15 and shoot them out of the game.
Garrison Brooks looked serviceable inside but not the kind of wide body who typical hurts us.
Just my impressions off watching 3/4 of a game.
I definitely agree with going back to basics. It comes down to either Hughes or Dolezaj starting. I lean towards Dolezaj because he makes things happen. Hughes is a better scorer but Marek can rebound, pass, block shots, hustles, dives on the floor and at times also score. The team plays more together with Marek"s high energy providing the glue. He does tend to get in foul trouble. I can see Brissett, Dolezaj and Hughes splitting 80 minutes. This team still has a lot to prove but the mix of new players with the starting five from last year has to jell. LGOPC's current health notwithstanding,

What did you think of Texas? They already have a nice win VS Arkansas. Roach and Coleman are ballers. They are obviously smaller than last year but they have ballers.

I think what this thread shows is that JB has a lot of options available to him this season, with a solid guard, forward and center coming off the bench (plus Buddy and Washington), and that it may take him a while determine how to dole out the minutes and which combinations work best.edit: Hughes/Carey - the super 6th/7th off the bench
