To start the season, you will see the following lineup (starter, backup):

Phillips, Walton/Geist
Walton, Hughes/Geist/CVL
CVL, Hughes/Jackson
Puryear, Jackson
Woods, Smith/Nikko

Jackson and Smith first off bench. The most experienced players will play the most minutes, as the focus will be on accumulating wins in the non-conf. I expect Woods and Puryear to have inflated numbers during this portion of season.

By conference season, lineup will be:

Phillips, Geist/Hughes
Walton, CVL/Hughes
Barnett, CVL/Jackson/Walton
Puryear, Jackson/Barnett
Smith, Jackson/Woods/Nikko

Jackson and CVL will be first off the bench, Woods or Nikko if Smith in foul trouble. They'll probably try starting the conference season with Woods, but I think it will quickly be seen that he does not have the skills, size nor vertical to compete against P5 bigs. We will struggle with Smith and Nikko, and I wouldn't be surprised to see us go small with Jackson, Puryear and Barnett playing together. But Smith will show enough with his hands, and Nikko with his size and positioning, that Woods will lose the starting spot. Barnett will essentially replace CVL at the wing, who will move to SG behind Walton. Offense will try to give most scoring opportunities to Puryear, Walton and Barnett.

                    RE: Defense has to be better - Bangin3s MU - 7/19 14:10:59
                    I think the defense is better than last year - wu-tangtiger MU - 7/19 11:43:12
                         Team Defense does not exist at this point - catbirdseat MU - 7/19 12:15:25
                              last years players had learned them? - wu-tangtiger MU - 7/19 12:20:43
                                   I think it will be worse. - catbirdseat MU - 7/19 12:23:07
                                        I'll have to disagree. Committing yourself to working on D - Diamond Dave MU - 7/19 12:32:50
                                             Committing yourself to working on D - catbirdseat MU - 7/19 13:05:54
                                                  Hard to say, but yes they've been awful. If he's neglecting - Diamond Dave MU - 7/19 14:06:42
                                        I expect TP, KP, KJ, CVL, & Woods to make similar jump - wu-tangtiger MU - 7/19 12:28:50
                                        I bet it's better.(nm) - Uncle John MU - 7/19 12:23:37
                              How does one learn defense? (nm) - Evenflow MU - 7/19 12:16:07
                                   Positioning, using your teammates, lots of stuff. (nm) - mizzou john MU - 7/19 12:22:28
                                   By having a coach that teaches it and then you - catbirdseat MU - 7/19 12:22:14
                                        But, but, but, Frank Haith. (nm) - Evenflow MU - 7/19 12:26:21

     Great news for basketball is it's almost football season. - bornoncampus MU - 7/19 10:50:52
          Now there you go talking common sense. Don't you - MizzouTigerz MU - 7/19 11:57:21
               lol. Yes. Indeed it is 4H. My mind does go to Missouri bball - bornoncampus MU - 7/19 15:19:19
     think Geist starts off the ball at the beginning of the - wu-tangtiger MU - 7/19 09:29:19
          Agree(nm) - Uncle John MU - 7/19 09:35:05
          You think he beats out Walton or CVL at start of season? - MUIntensity USA - 7/19 09:32:04
               I think Walton is a wing anyway. Should be a starting - Diamond Dave MU - 7/19 10:26:40
               CVL should really only be playing 10-12 minutes a game - HissingPrigs77 MU - 7/19 09:44:12
                    Not true if he ups his shooting percentage... - Soltan Gris MU - 7/19 10:26:40
                    Eventually I think that will be true. - MUIntensity USA - 7/19 09:51:35
                         Well if he gets on the right track as you say he won't be - Uncle John MU - 7/19 10:06:14
                         This is a pivotal year for CVL, IMO. - HissingPrigs77 MU - 7/19 09:53:52
                              If he can gain confidence, he can be similar - FIJItiger MU - 7/19 09:57:33
                                   There's nothing else you could be doing right now? - HissingPrigs77 MU - 7/19 10:01:22
                              Phillips and Walton should create the looks for him. - MUIntensity USA - 7/19 09:57:28
                                   He's a classic pure shooter thrust in as a Fr on - Diamond Dave MU - 7/19 10:18:11
                                   He will have it or be passed up by other guys and transfer - Uncle John MU - 7/19 10:12:13
               Not sure what to expect from Giest, but I am of the opinion - FIJItiger MU - 7/19 09:38:19
                    You should probably find someone that your were actually - Uncle John MU - 7/19 09:42:39
                         There hasn't been a comparable example during my lifetime - FIJItiger MU - 7/19 09:49:45
               before hearing how the offseason goes - wu-tangtiger MU - 7/19 09:35:54
                    VanLeer for Walton and you probably have it.(nm) - Uncle John MU - 7/19 09:38:48
                         I will wait and see for myself what he has.(nm) - Uncle John MU - 7/19 10:04:45

          The irony of the false prediction being used here. - MizzouTigerz MU - 7/19 12:09:00
