What would the bench look like?

I'm just going with starting lineups (sans Bush and Glass).

Our starting five and our "backup" five probably could finish 1, 2.

I disagree. The more minutes Baker gets at the point the better he becomes at it. Which is important for, one, the ability to have two viable 1's on the court at a time (something Marshall's always liked), and, two, important for Baker's NBA future.

Baker's already one of the three best PGs in the Valley. There's no need to limit that role for him, unless we're having significant trouble scoring with the other guys on the court.

Everybody thinks Baker is a pg in the nba, but i think he's a fine pro prospect shooting guard. Everyone talks about him being too short, but the dude has a 6'8" wingspan. Between that, his physical strength, his athleticism, and his quick release, he'll be fine in the nba as a 2 guard.

Well if today was any indication you would certainly expect them to be competitive.

Where would out bench finish in the Valley?

PG - Henderson
SG - Holland
SF - Brown
PF - Kelly
C - Nurger
Backups: "Bush", Glass

Seriously, Top 5?

The "starters" are all freshman. That group would do okay in the Valley this year. It's hard to say with no back-ups at the guard position.

One more thing. Baker may be the second best pg in the valley, but he could also be the best sg in the nation. I want to see him more at sg.

Obviously ther is no backups. If this team was going to be created, our starters wouldn't have any backups.

I'm simply going with our starting five, then our next five. IGNORING BACKUPS!!! haha :)

Talking about what our 2nd 5 would do in the league is very hoggish, therefore frowned upon by William. This is not meant mean, let's just be better than that.

Nobody gives a **** what you or your hand, I mean "buddy", think.

Top 5? lol

You're right, Doc.

I was just trying to give the rest of the Valley a small sense of hope. ;)

Looks like EW will start at the 4 early on. I assume that once RK or Big Bush or Nurger gets comfortable, Ev will see more of his minutes at the 3.
