Now I agree with that logic, too - that's why he's assembled this motley crew in an uncharacteristic fashion. He wants to win this year. He's not building for anything.

But Boeheim's got a long history of giving token starts, even with this kid (has Coleman ever been clearly better than the guy who backed him up?). He's a loyal guy (and pragmatic, too - Coleman's on the roster, he's going to get some minutes, and he's not the type to be productive off the bench).

Chukwu's got great potential and I anticipate him playing the bulk of the minutes at center, but I'd like to see him command his position and communicate with his teammates on defense in a game situation before counting on him for real production. Glad he had a good practice year, but he's still facing a steep learning curve (we can all envision what will happen the first time -- and second and third -- he hesitates rather than extend on a shooter or collapse on a cutter). He's taking on the most difficult job on the team and it'll be awhile before he gets good at it.
