Yup. My other pair got ripped off my face recently. Within the hour as a matter of fact

Judging from this video, we should shoot about 92% from the floor this season. I don't think it matters who starts at that point.

Did you see they missed a layup?

[Handy Johnson]

Just like last season, we have TOO many Good Players. 

[Huskerpapa]

Hmm.

I stopped reading at slide 2 when it didn't have Tominaga as a starter only a "potential" starter.

 

If Tominaga is not a Starter day 1 consider me the conductor of the "We need a new coach" train.

Who plays the most minutes this season out of Ulis, Keita, and Jacobsen?

MJ transferred to Iowa State 5 years ago.  Cross him off.

Yes!  It's Michael Jacobson / Cale Jacobsen and somehow I correctly had that on my first attempt

Reading the tea leaves, it sure sounds like Jamarques is our point guard. If so, I’m all for it. I want the ball in his hands a lot, and I want him and Keisei on the floor at the same time a lot. I’m also ok with Boogie as a veteran coming off the bench.

I think they're running JL at PG but they started that before we signed Boogie because we need the depth.  However I think that Boogie is the one starting (at least to begin the season).

[Huskerpapa]

...and your likely starting pg is...

Still think Boogie might start but if JL takes it from him that would be a very nice revelation

From people who have attended practices (not me), doesn’t sound like he is one of our 5 or 6 best players. And that’s not an indictment on him. It’s a good thing imo.

Don’t doubt that for a minute. Just think he is really the only one with experience at the point. JL didn’t look comfortable last year handling it IMO. Hopefully he made a big jump in that area.

[hhcmatt]

A takeaway for me in the Boogie-JL conversation is that RL doesn't seem to currently be in it for PG. Seems like Lloyd is at the end or out of the rotation to start the season and much like JL last year he'll just need to make the most of opportunities as they present themselves.

[hhcmatt]

Rotation, a guess

 

Guards

1. Coleman/Lawrence (Lloyd/Jacobsen)

2. Keisei (Coleman/Brice/Lawrence/Wilcher/Lloyd/Hoiberg)

3. Brice/Wilcher (Rice/Lloyd)

 

F/C

4. Gary/Allick (Wilcher/Brice/Rice)

5. Mast  (Allick/Keita/Diop)

 

Listing guys by positions I think they play by default

BOLD indicates guys I think are in the rotation to start the season

Guys in (parentheses) are the backups

 

• I have Keita listed as in the rotation and a backup because I think he's in the rotation when healthy and I'm not sure when he'll be healthy enough to be in the rotation
• We have 3 post players for roughly two spots with Keita and Diop being question marks.  That tells me we don't have the luxury of rolling out Mast, Allick and Gary at the same time
• The limiting factors of our guards I see in the rotation are that only 2 guys can likely play PG and Keisei can only be a SG. I think another limiting factor is that you don't want to play Keisei and Wilcher together much for defensive purposes. 
• With the size and rebounding ability of some of our big guards I expect to see some 4 guard lineups

Something that has gone completely unnoticed is the fact that Henry Burt was listed at 6'4" on the roster last year and is now 6'7"!
