I initially thought he'd be 1st off the bench, but there's a chance he starts instead of Key I think.

I think Norris starts at the 4.

Do y'all still see Petty off the bench or do y'all think he'll start over Riley, Key, or Ingram?


I hope he starts over Key if he shoots like that.

I don't think Key will be on the bench. Avery made him lead the line at the open practice, and he lead the team in minutes last year.

Going in to the summer, and up until the practice about a week ago I was thinking we'd have Sexton, Ingram, Norris, Key, and Hall but I'm starting to think our line up may be Sexton, Ingram, Petty, Key, and Giddens with Norris and Hall first off the bench.

I think it got lost last night a little bit but I was very impressed with Galin Smith. I literally expected nothing from him this year.

The lineup id like to see is Sexton, Petty, Ingram, Norris, Giddens/Hall.

The lineup I think we'll use is Sexton, Petty, Ingram, Key, Giddens/Hall.

Key just didn't impress me yesterday. But it was only his first game and he still had 8 points and 5 rebounds so hopefully he'll get better.

I think we are going to play a bunch of guys pretty evenly. I'm not sure starters will even matter all that much at the 2/3/4 positions.

Galin looked like a good defender and rebounder. He needs to get better hands though. He dropped a lot of fairly easy post catches.

Yeah, I think Ingram, Sexton, Petty, Key, Norris, Hall, and Giddens will all basically get equal minutes.

Did anyone hear anything about Jones? He looked sick or something at the end of the bench

I haven't had a chance to watch the replay yet, but did Giddens look as good the whole game as he did in the highlights?

Funny how folks see things differently. My sons and I all three agreed that he looked like he needed a redshirt year to be ready to play like the rest of the new guys. By the way, me saying somebody isn't good enough is the surest way to see him put up a triple double the next time out.

Just look at some expectations from your fanbase
Just look at this guy's post

18ppg is the "expectation" despite most lotto drafted FR PG avg 14-16ppg with 18ppg being pretty much the top end typically

I mean, we're going to have people over hype him.

Did you really care that much to bookmark it? This would be like me bookmarking BowlJackson's post.

Yea Petty will come off the bench. My thing is Ingrams unwillingness to shoot the ball is going to slow the offense up a lot.
