It is inevitable that there will be off-season discussions about who starts next year and that is fine but I will point out that we used at least 5 different starting line-ups this year and some people that were starters half way and even two thirds of the way through - Keita, Arop, Hoff - were barely seeing the floor at the end of the year. So, it goes w/o saying, the best players get the most minutes.
My question is our "identity" - are we a team with incredible size (like this year) that tries to win by getting the ball into Harris/Sacre. We could conceivably start Harris, Dower, Sacre - with Kelly coming in for any of them - - or we coud start Pangos/Meech, Carter, Bell and beat teams by shooting over them and getting up and down the floor.
It really comes down to who is going to play the 3 and 4. I think Bell/Pangos (from what I have read) are the "special" Austin Daye/Stepp/Gray types that can walk into any program in the country and start. So, it is a legitimate question whether we focus on our bigs - like we did this year. Or go with the guard oriented offense that is more familiar to us.
