Message: [QUOTE="BlackSquirrels, post: 2158865, member: 742"] I think the answer to your question is Baye Keita in 2010-11. Looking at the season totals from that year, Fab Melo got token starts for most of the year and Keita replaced him in the starting lineup the final part of the season. He only averaged about 15 minutes a game, though. Rick Jackson played a lot of 5 that year. But yeah, freshmen 5s ordinarily don't play a lot and when they do, it's because there aren't other good alternatives. If Thompson doesn't improve defensively and Sidibe is competent, I can see him getting 10-15 minutes per game. He played at a top-notch high school and I wouldn't be surprised if Chukwu's recovery from eye surgery is slow. But admittedly those are guesses. [/QUOTE]
