I don’t hate Wright nearly as much as many here, but I think Bey will start over him.

I could definitely see it. But Hop's a defensive coach and Wright's defense is really valuable. It may depend on exactly where and how Hop wants to use Stewart and McDaniels (prayingdog.jpg) in the zone.

With Wright being one of like three upperclassmen I think he'll start. If not him it will be because the Kiwi is starting. I doubt Hop goes four underclass starters.

Bey getting a lot of minutes against UNC spoke volumes about what Hop sees in him. Would rather see him starting than Wright

Bey's going to be a baller, no doubt.

He's for sure starting if McDaniels doesn't come here, or after McDaniels turns pro.

Do Wright and Bey really play the same position??

I view Wright as basically a shitty stretch 4, Bey as a corner 3 guard like Thybulle or Greene

Given Quade is going to have to sit out for first half, Hardy and Naz are both going to have to play the ball handling guards at the start of the season.

This leaves Battle and Bey as the 2/3 guards with a lot of playing time available, especially for Bey.

Wright can slide to the 3 if we want to go big with Mcdaniels, Wright, and Stewart as forwards

Or Wright and Mcdaniels can split time at the 4

I dont think they really cut into eachothers starting time possibility, more that Wright coming off the bench will determine the style of play depending on who he subs for.

Before Quade:

Primary ball handler PG: split between Hardy and Naz, both havent looked ready so hopefully they are servacable.
2: Naz (Lots of Bey, some Battle)
3: Bey (Wright when big)
4: Mcdaniels (Wright when stretch)
5: Stewart


With Quade:

Primary PG: Quade (Hardy)
off 2: Naz
3: Bey (Wright/Battle)
4: Mcdaniels (Wright)
5: Stewart

No. It's just a matter of where McDaniels plays. I think he'll be a 3 with Wright at the 4 and Stewart at the 5.

But he could be a 4, if so Bey starts at the 3.

Ultimately I think McDaniels can do either and Hop puts him wherever he wants in order to get the best 5 on the floor.

I think Wright starts. Bey may play more minutes though.

I agree that these will be the most common starting lineups.

Domicillo

Bey
Carter
McDaniels
Wright
Stewart

Bey/Carter/McDaniels share ball handling duties, lots of pick and rolls with Stewart. Bey moves to first off bench/defensive stopper when Quade is eligible

You forgot Wright will bring it up against the press.

While I like the idea of getting carter and bey in the game at the same time this ignores how shitty of a ball handling team we were last year. We couldn't break a press or half court pressure. I can't handle another year without a point guard.

Carter is a scorer, not someone you want setting the offense. That line up would be an absolute turnover machine.

He’ll be part of the 2nd unit, with Michael Carter, Donovan Dorsey, Carlos Johnson, and Devinir Duruisseau

Watching Stewart play on ESPNU right now. Holy fuck that is all I have to say.

Watched the end. Stewart gave the L for his high school team and followed it up with the "dubs". I can't believe he's coming here.

It's too bad Jahmel Taylor, Darin Johnson, Quevyn Winters, and Tristan Etienne have exhausted their eligibility. Next year could be special
