Have a hard time seeing Braun getting more minutes than Mitchell Smith, based on the improvement that M. Smith showed down the stretch.

Watson will start ahead of Pickett as he stretches defenses more, and really buckled down on D as the season progressed.

Would love to see the combo of Tilmon and Nikko get 25-28 min/12-15 min with 13-14 ppg & 10 rebounds/game combined.

McKinney & Pickett and Pinson will be perfect high energy guys off the bench.

Jackson is the big unknown. Like people were saying, we thought Santos would be a significant factor last year.

I wouldn't mind seeing a starting lineup with Tilmon at the post and Dru Smith at the point. Then the other three spots go up for grabs. Playing a pressing team-start Pinson to help with ball handling. Mark Smith appears to be a slam dunk as he does a number of things really well. Need more toughness and D/Rebounding? Start Pinkett. Need to stretch a zone, start Watson. Playing a BIG team, start Jackson/Mitchell Smith.

Lots of options and 2 deep at every spot, with limitless combination possibilities.

Stay healthy, out of legal/criminal issues, make grades and play as hard as possible on D & rebound like fiends.

Thread guessing top 8 rotation players - wu-tangtiger MU - 6/4 22:15:39

I'm guessing these 8 will get most of the minutes... - GeorgiaTiger76 MU - 6/5 15:02:52

Pinson will play a lot if he stays on the team nm - Tiger Tim MU - 6/5 21:44:29

I wonder how many minutes Nikko will really get - wu-tangtiger MU - 6/5 15:53:03

A lot will depend on which philosophy CM approaches this - longtimereader MU - 6/5 15:01:26

It will be interesting to see how Tilmon is used - wu-tangtiger MU - 6/5 15:47:18

A lot of those were on the guards too. - longtimereader MU - 6/5 16:11:53

I hope the new 3 point line distance doesn't throw off - sprintcar STL - 6/5 16:02:51

What is CG? - Genco98 MU - 6/5 14:35:27

Yes. Also been called a 2 or a SG - wu-tangtiger MU - 6/5 14:37:06

A 2 and a SG are not the same thing as a combo guard.(nm) - TheWildcat STL - 6/5 14:49:30

It’s the evolution of the game - wu-tangtiger MU - 6/5 15:49:44

That may be, but SG and CG are different - alwaysright MU - 6/6 07:22:58

I agree and it's been that way for a long while (nm) - longtimereader MU - 6/5 15:15:46

I would occasionally like to see Nikko and Tillmon on - itznotwillis MU - 6/5 12:10:32

I don't see it, but I like Nikko as a backup center. (nm) - ForOldMissouri MU - 6/5 13:23:39

unless 1 of them develops a consistent jumper - wu-tangtiger MU - 6/5 12:19:49

I'll swap Braun for Brown - gregor macgregor MU - 6/5 10:42:56

The 4 spot is the only really unknown on the team, but - alwaysright MU - 6/6 07:33:56

There are only 12 scholarship players - wu-tangtiger MU - 6/6 11:14:26

In debate for last guy on the roster is the point. - alwaysright MU - 6/6 11:37:49

Any of the options at the 4 can be argued - wu-tangtiger MU - 6/5 10:57:23

you are close on the probable pt alloted - NWMizzouFan MU

- 6/5 09:21:03

Could be Dru, Mark, PIckett, Tilmon, and Braun - Diamond Dave MU

- 6/5 09:10:22

Might hear something after summer workouts (nm) - wu-tangtiger MU - 6/5 09:12:40

Be nice to, but the staff seems pretty tight-lipped - Diamond Dave MU

- 6/5 09:13:51

By the end of last summer - wu-tangtiger MU - 6/5 09:26:48

I recall that and was pleasantly surprised, esp. considering - Diamond Dave MU

- 6/5 10:15:38

Even worst some had him transferring before he ever stepped - longtimereader MU - 6/5 15:18:21

Pretty much agree - Domino MU

- 6/5 08:31:58

are we sure that mark is a better player than watson?(nm) - TigerA MU - 6/5 08:34:21

At least for last year Mark was the better all around of the - longtimereader MU - 6/5 15:09:33

Next season will be the first since - wu-tangtiger MU - 6/5 15:55:54

I've already admitted in a previous post - longtimereader MU - 6/5 16:05:52

The thing that intrigues me with Brown - wu-tangtiger MU - 6/5 16:32:24

More likely than not he won't this year - longtimereader MU - 6/5 17:49:39

If he can do that for 5 to 10 mpg - wu-tangtiger MU - 6/5 18:19:40

Watson is pretty small to play the 4 (nm) - TheWildcat STL - 6/6 09:21:40

that lineup would struggle defensively - wu-tangtiger MU - 6/6 09:24:59

Better defender - Domino MU

- 6/5 08:36:27

I hope Mark Smith is healthy - Genco98 MU - 6/5 10:23:24

Mark is also a better rebounder and passer - wu-tangtiger MU - 6/5 08:47:22

He can have a really important role - Domino MU

- 6/5 08:56:51

Smith, Smith, Pickett, Watson, Tilmon. Pinson, Jackson, McKi - Mizzmi27 MU - 6/5 08:26:02

RE: Thread guessing top 8 rotation players - KCTiger83 MU - 6/5 08:09:41

If Mark Smith is healthy, I think you can - FIJItiger MU

- 6/5 08:07:43

Dru and Watson aren't unknowns. Those 2 will be as crucial - Diamond Dave MU

- 6/5 09:18:07

I feel pretty confident on what to expect from - wu-tangtiger MU - 6/5 08:14:12

Well other than - FIJItiger MU

- 6/5 08:20:00

ok if healthy I’m confident in what to expect from - wu-tangtiger MU - 6/5 08:22:48

Most of you had Santos STARTING this time last year... - Soltan Gris MU - 6/5 06:02:03

RE: Most of you had Santos STARTING this time last year... - FIJItiger MU

- 6/5 08:04:55

It’s got to be at the 4 then - wu-tangtiger MU - 6/5 08:09:02

Or I could see Pinson winning the starting pg spot and - FIJItiger MU

- 6/5 08:13:57

Dru Smith is the really good defender - wu-tangtiger MU - 6/5 08:21:25

Santos was interesting - wu-tangtiger MU - 6/5 07:56:28

He was shorter than advertised... - Soltan Gris MU - 6/5 09:57:09

Height wasn’t the issue - wu-tangtiger MU - 6/5 10:06:43
