I couldn't find the "guess the starters" thread

[Norm Peterson]

News reports say Ray Gallegos will sit out tonight to recover from a hip injury.  That leaves a hole in the starting lineup.  Predictions that had the starters being Webster, Gallegos, Shields, Petteway, Pitchford would have been correct, except for the injury to Ray.

 

So, who gets the nod in place of Ray?  Do they move Petteway to the off-guard spot and start Rivers?  Does Hawkins get the nod?

 

We know who it WON'T be:  Biggs, who is sitting his 3 game suspension.  It also apparently won't be Benny Parker who I read somewhere is also out tonight for unspecified reasons.  That leaves us pretty thin at guard.  Take away Gallegos, Biggs and Parker and you're down a few in what would otherwise be thought of as a deep backcourt.

 

Good thing this is just an exhibition.

It also apparently won't be Benny Parker who I read somewhere is also out tonight for unspecified reasons. 

Where?

 

Hawkins is out for the game with a foot injury...the same one he had in HS.

Seems like a two man race between Parker and Rivers with Peltz as the darkhorse.

 

I think if this was FGCU, Gallegos would play.

Biggs shouldnt have to sit for an exhibition should he?  If so why doesn't that count as 1 of his 3 games?

It is counting against his 3 game suspension.

It does.

I misread Rosenthal's tweet.  He said Hawkins and I was thinking of the little guy.  Wires got crossed in my cranium.

I'm going to guess Rivers starts in place of Rey, with an outside chance of Smith starting.

Is Jordan Tyrance good in this spot or am I smoking crack?

[NUdiehard]

Miles could "go big" and start Rivers at the 3 or 4 and put Terran at the 2. 

 

Or, Miles could starts the "Bro" at the 2, which I would have no problem with.  I love his fire!

 

I doubt he starts Smith b/c of Smith's knee issues and he needs Smith to spell Pitchford. 

 

I suppose he could start Parker, but then would Tai move over the 2 spot?  I don't think Miles wants to do this b/c he wants to see how Tai handles the PG and I don't think he wants Parker at the 2.

 

So, I go with either Rivers or Bro Man, and give the nod to Peltz.

[Norm Peterson]

Who is more valuable of an asset?  Rivers or Peltz?  I'd say Rivers.  If so, then he starts over Peltz and you shift the other guys accordingly.  Petteway's versatility comes in handy in making these kinds of calls.  

 

Hopefully he shows that he is the best player on the floor tonight and kind of makes up for a lackluster showing at the open, disjointed scrimmage.

WINNER WINNER!

Did I type "outside chance"? I meant to type "100% chance" - stupid typos.
