The 4 and 5 spot are going to be heavily dependent on who we are playing and what we can get away with
Vanover will get abused on pick and rolls and a quick/strong big
Jackson has great length but isn't strong enough to play the 5 in many match ups
Smith is very versatile but not as big as you would like in some match ups at the 5
Henderson/Kimble can be great energy guys off the bench but not who I think we will ever depend on heavily.
Having said all of that, all those guys can create mismatches on the offensive side of the ball.
I believe Williams overall is going to be our best player at the back end assuming he continues to develop. He has enough length to contest almost any big and he has the potential to stretch the floor. He could easily become a huge threat in pick and roll situations.

Musselman in the press conference talked about a few different things
-Moses solidified his spot in the rotation.
I think we all could see this but even when he wasn't scoring or had the ball in his hands. We were constantly running plays for him. Seems like Muss knew well before this that he was basically "the guy" when it comes down to it.
-Some players that played well in the red/white game have struggled in previous scrimmages and others that played poorly in the red/white game have played well in the previous scrimmages
He talked about Jaylin Williams having great scrimmages leading up to this game even though he struggled during the red/white game. On the opposite side of that spectrum, he mentioned KK having a better red/white game than what he has shown in scrimmages.
-Backcourt D was an issue
He mentioned Sills and Notae in regards to getting better on the defensive side of the ball. During the game you could hear him screaming about Notae lack of hustle to get back on D.
-Switched Notae at half to see what he could do with that side of the ball
Notae had a shaky start but played very well in the 2nd half. It is easy to just look at the points but I believe he also had 5 assists. It seems that was Musselman seeing what Notae would look like with a group of players that will most likely be getting a majority of the minutes (Moses, Smith, etc). No doubt Notae is one of the best scorers, if not the best scorer, on the team but his high volume can be an issue at times. Good to see him play within him self in that 2nd half.
