[QUOTE="glandon1960, post: 570931, member: 2458"] Backcourt - having Parham allows Alvarado and Devoe to play less minutes - which I see as a plus. CJP has shown he will ride a hot hand, so if any of three are having a good night they will get more minutes and conversely if someone is having an off night, or foul trouble, they will get less minutes ... having what looks to be 3 solid options for the 1/2 spot is critical to consistency - how many games would we have won last couple of years if one of our limited options had just an average night (vs. the awful night they were having). Whomever starts is not really that relevant -my preference is to have the high energy person come in off bench (Parham?). I do think we'll see all three on courts together at times - depends on matchup. Any given night one of them could play 30-35 minutes or about 20. I hope Phillips finds his game - but going into season he may get buried on the bench and unless one of the others gets injured we might not know. The staff still needs minimum of one more big. While Banks with Wright as backup is good enough - we are only on ankle roll from not having front court that can compete. Banks is solid at the 5 (needs to improve hands/consistent motor)- having additional 3 point threat will open things up more (for him to operate inside, plus others to drive/slash ... teams won't pack it in so quickly). Grad Transfer for backup minutes, or freshman (Bilaut?) that even if not ready to play at the ACC level could at least provide backup/emergency minutes inside ... ideally both. The 3/4 spots are the most open. If Wright keeps playing close or at level he did last few games - he is lock to start at the 4. You have to assume there will be some improvement. Cole is hard to figure - too many injuries last year .... potential not has high as Wright, but does several things well and was more consistent until he got hurt. Usher/Moore/Sjouland - I could see any two of the three getting significant minutes - at the 3 (all three) or 4 (Usher/Sjouland). Will be looking hard early to see the development of Moore/Sjouland - players usually improve more from freshman to sophmore years than any other time - one could separate themselves or maybe not. I watched enough USC video to see Usher can definitely step in and play immediately- he is not a 'go to scorer' but already has shown he can play at this level. These three coupled with the three in backcourt - have me feeling better about the perimeter than I have in years. I fully expect Price to be redshirted this year - develop and hopefully play a lot as R-So. [/QUOTE]
