Not that the Midnight Madness scrimmage was an actual game, but I wasn't surprised to see the team that had Gillon / Battle in the backcourt beat the team that had Howard / White, because Gillon / Battle is probably the most effective backcourt combination that this team has.  Love Frank, and think he's going to be a major, major, major contributor for us these next three years, but Gillon is much better offensively  and an underrated facilitator.

I expect Howard to start, but it might be a bit like Triche in 2010, where the sub comes in at the first whistle.  Or White who might initially start at 2 quickly shifting to 3, or being moved out of the starting backcourt altogether when Battle proves too good to keep out of the lineup.

Regardless, it is GREAT to have options.  This team is a lot like the 2012 squad, with literally 8 players who could get double figures any night.  Tough to prepare for that if you are the opposing coach.  Sell out to take something away?  Well, here are the other 6 players who are going to light you up.
