I agree with all of this, but it's difficult for me to imagine Boeheim casting a senior aside, unless there's a character problem. That doesn't apply here, and Coleman's got the bonus of being a local kid with an interesting back-story (McDonald's guy from Boeheim's kids' high school with a few serious injuries who's a very hard worker). Also, I doubt Chukwu's going to be as productive as some think. Not, at least, right off the bat. So I'd pencil a healthy Coleman in for 31+ starts. Playing time, after that, will be up in the air.

I also agree with everyone who thinks Lydon will play a good percentage of time at center. It's not my favorite move (he's adequate at that position but will be outmanned by a number of conference opponents, just like last year), but it's all about Boeheim's comfort. Lydon's a safety blanket this year, maybe our most reliable veteran? (Crazy thought, for a sophomore.) Wouldn't be shocked if he doesn't start, but he'll play 36 minutes at every position where Boeheim's unhappy with the starter's production, and he'll close every game.
