Team A -- Scoop, Triche, Joseph, Christmas, Melo
Team B -- Carter-Williams, Waiters, Fair, Southerland, Keita
I'd say somewhere between pick em and Team A -2. As the gap between Melo and Keita widens, perhaps the line is moving towards 3 or 4 but the point remains. I realize this is a bit skewed bc Christmas is only a starter technically, and bc the 2nd most valuable player on the team does not start, but its hard to believe in the history of college basketball there has ever been a top 10 team whose 2nd 5 were practically as good as its starting 5. And that fact shows itself virtually every game during the first wave of subs, when the opponent gets weaker and Cuse gets better.
