Burnt ROUX: Miller Time is Up (at UL)

[Hatch]

Who is Kyle? So if you guys know it all. Then who are our PGs, 2Gs, SFs, PFs, and Cs? Id like to see how ya'll would have the depth charts for the team.

I’ll take my best shot at a breakdown, albeit all I have seen of some of these guys is just on video.
Wesley is the only true PG, although I don’t know if he is ready to run everything.

I would consider Russell, Hardy, and Wilson all combo guards. One of them might actually be starting at PG. I really don’t know enough about Caldwell to put him anywhere but SG, he does have a little bit of height advantage over the other guards so in a 3 guard lineup he may be more of a SF.

I still say both Julien and Johnson are more natural at SF, but will play some down low out of necessity. Gueye appears to be a stretch PF and will play a similar role to Gant. I think Smith is closest thing to a C. He is 6’9” with lots of bulk and will play almost exclusively in the post.

I think those 9 are the main rotation. Lafayette, Spenkuch, Lowery and even Aucoin could factor in somewhere, but probably not on a regular basis.

I agree with that evaluation.

You left Trajan Wesley out, he will be in the rotation either as the starting or probably the backup PG to Russell/Hardy/Wilson, whomever assumes that role.

I mentioned Wesley first as I was trying to go in order 1-5. I see how you could have missed it as I was trying to be concise but got more long winded as I went on.

I thought you didn't agree with Julien at SF?

Facts and words ..... meh why bother?

He did say Julien has no lateral quickness right ? Lol.

For us to have success and go to the NCAA Tourney, it will not be with Julian or Jalon at the 3 spot.

I would argue the exact opposite. I think the best recipe for success would be another quality big transfer in (like a Jordan Brown) to rotate alongside Gueye and Smith. That would force Johnson and Julien to the 3 spot.

Big is not always better. The lineup you are describing would be too slow on the defensive end.
