Our best starting five is pretty clearly - Maliq, Cope, JJ, Judah, and Benny.

Problem with going that route is it leaves NOBODY on the bench to come in and be a spark.

So that being said, I think our starters should be Maliq, JJ, Judah, Benny, and Bell.

My logic is that Cope will get his minutes anyways, and his ability to play multiple positions will allow Red to sub him in for whomever is not playing well out of the gate. He is a terrific mix and match option.

That would leave a bench of Cope, Cuffe, Justin, Carey, and Hima.

Justin has been awful this season. There is no reason to think he should be a D1 caliber rotation player based upon what he has done so far this season, but maybe in a different role he can improve a bit.

Cuffe has shown some flashes, but like so many others on this team you just dont know what you will get from him from game to game.

I like the way Carey is coming on. He has good mobility and he cuts to the hoop. I think he might to adequate for 5 to 8 minutes/game off the bench. However, if Maliq gets in foul trouble as we saw against BC - uh oh !!! Hima, too, might be Ok if he was healthy.
