Message: [QUOTE="Jasoncuse, post: 1859804, member: 470"] Great post I disagree that Malachi would've or could've been the best player in the country. There are a ton of great players still around, and his inefficiencies, while likely improved, would've made it hard for him to be the top player. White will play whichever position he is most comfortable with on D, IMO, and especially where JB feels most comfortable. The question is whether he's quick enough up top to slide side to side and cut off the driving lanes. From all indications, he's not an elite athlete and has average overall agility. That screams forward to me, and if he can prove to JB that he understands the rotations, trapping from the wing in the zone and can rebound, I think he'll see the majority of his time there. I think we're looking at 30 or so minutes from White, Lydon up around 35, and Robey 20-25, with Lydon seeing minutes at the 5 and White a few up top in the games that matter. I don't see Moyer playing much, and Thompson probably won't either. We'll probably see a lot of Gillon and Howard handling the ball, with Battle maybe the 3rd ball handler. We may see a TB/AW/TL/TR/C lineup at times, but I think Gillon or Howard will be on the court the majority of the time and have the ball in their hands. If Tyus proves capable of handling PG duties and AW can play up top, we may see that big lineup more. It's great having a lot of flexibility and solid depth. I wish we had more inside scoring, but it seems that all other areas of possible concern are in good shape (Rebounding, outside shooting, depth, scoring). The only other concern may be how the new guys adapt to playing our zone. Battle, Gillon, White and Chukwu will all see big minutes, but haven't played in this zone. It may take some time defensively. [/QUOTE]
