What is your starting 5 probably going to be? The Harrison twins at the 2 guards, poythress, lee, dakari johnson? Cauley coming off the bench? Or do any freshman start?

Twins, Poythress, Towns, and Booker. Just my guess.

IMO Cauley-Stein will start over Towns. He's healthy but UK opted to not play him in the Bahamas.

I could see that as well.

How do you keep all that talent happy

Probably the same way top SEC football teams do with their regularly Top 5 recruiting classes.

Have you seen where the UK basketball players live?

Maybe the twins, poythress, towns, WCS? Just my bet. The upshot of having a deep bench is that we might see a lot of returnees, which would be great given how this next class is going.

How's booked going to start? He plays SG? UK runs 3 guards? I can see towns starting at C over Johnson.
Harrison, Harrison, poythress, lee, towns?
Or how will you plug booker in, instead of Lee?
Also where does lyles stand?

That's the lineup they've been running in the Bahamas. With Booker at the 3.

Is it because he's a knock down perimeter shooter? We know the twins start for obvious reasons, poythress rebounds well, creates turn overs and has experience, why are towns and booker in the lineup as freshman basically?

No clue, but it's sure going to be fun. Things would be perfect if Poythress could play the 3 but I don't think that will happen.
So you'll have Poythress, WC-S, Dakari, Towns, Lee, Lyles, basically battling for 2 spots. That's 6 first round draft picks.
In a perfect world
Andrew/Ullis
Aaron/Booker/Hawkins
Poythress/Willis
Towns/Lee/Lyles
WC-S/Dakari

Meh, do kids really care
UK's big advantage is rock star status and groupies. Been that way for generations.

Towns has been starting while WCS is out. And he's an incredibly good player with experience playing on the Dominican National team with/against NBA players before he played for UK. I'd be willing to say him, Ulis (PG), and Poythress have been the standouts on their current Bahamas trip.
And yes, Booker is a lockdown shooter. And not a gun. Kid is pretty selective with his shooting for a freshman.
