and he doesn't always start his 5 best players.

when he chooses starters, the coach considers a number of things.
An upperclassman usually starts over a freshman. Coach usually thinks about who backs up who. He also considers who will come into the game when his star is out.
As the game goes on, who started becomes irrelevant, it's who is the best matchup for the opponent and who has played the best on our team up to this point.
You are starting 4 freshman and a senior, the latter out of position.
I think it's more likely that only one freshman will start, along with a grad student, a senior, a soph, and a junior.
The next 5 guys in the rotation, I think, will be 2 juniors and 3 freshmen.
