Graham is a very real possibility to start at the PG, but I think Mason will get the nod initially. Also, Oubre will start from the outset. He has better handles than Greene, and is better defensively right now, not even having stepped on campus.

PG Mason
SG Selden
SF Oubre
PF Ellis
C Mickelson

Bench bigs - Alexander, Traylor, with Lucas getting spot minutes
Bench guards - Graham, Frankamp, Greene with White getting spot minutes

That's a very, very deep and balanced team. Not nearly as good top of the rotation with Wiggins and Embiid gone. But the guard play I think is going to be overall much, much better this coming season. Hard to say that, losing Wiggins. While Oubre will be a significant drop off offensively - losing Tharpe and replacing with a more talented Graham and a year of seasoning for both the Franks is going to have the guards as the strength of this team. Perimeter Defense will be a turnaround from this past year.

Alexander will still probably start. He may only be 6'8" but he is a true 5. I seriously doubt Self is saying "Ive got 2 potentially great bigs but they cant play together"

It's not like Perry wasn't trying to play defense, he just couldn't do it. Not sure how much that will change.

I think what we'll find is that Bill will mix up his lineup based upon the opponent.

I'm seeing on phog.net that there are rumors that we could fill our last scholarship spot with a 16 year old foreign kid from the Ukraine. He looks like a bad ass and would have to stay two years due to the age requirement.

If Bill Self actually pulls off bringing in Svietslav, I think I will be officially at max awe.

This kid is a machine. He would easily be a Top 5 recruit in Rivals or Scouts rankings. Hearing the if anybody gets him though, Virginia would be 1st on his list.

I think there is zero chance of the starting lineup being other than this

PG ----
SG - Selden
SF - Oubre
PF - Ellis
C - Alexander

Oubre is just such a great all-around player. Greene has a chance to be a special scorer I suppose, but he struggles in the other facets of basketball still. I suppose nobody really knows, but I just think he's going to be a Brandon Rush type player. Too valuable to not start.

If I had to pick, I'd pick Mason, but I wouldn't be surprised if Graham starts by the end of the year. Either way, Frankamp, Mason & Graham will see extensive minutes. I just don't think Frankamp will play much PG.

The last remaining scholarship question came up and he said something to the effect of being in good position on a foreign kid who was better than any other wing on the roster and would have to stay 2 years. Did not mention his name specifically."

"The quote is accurate. I was no more than 5 or 6 feet away when he said it. I turned to the guy sitting beside me and we gave each other a surprised look. The tone he used made it sound like meant better right now, but I don't know that for sure. I'm not sure what it means for the future of Greene, White, etc. FWIW, those guys were all hanging around this weekend and none of them seemed particularly unhappy. Except for the fact they were being forced to watch a bunch of old men attempt to play basketball."

Sasha Kaun. KU has a great shot.
