Very cool. Love the praise Kenny is giving, but if his shooting doesn't come back, he could be the one to give up minutes for Carter. I give him credit for being an excellent teammate in his time here.
Harley/Mompremier/Laster will get minutes but won't be starters. Dozier & Gollon may have an uphill battle to ever crack thru. I, like most, do not know much about them, but I'm certainly not counting them out.
If Culver is 75% as good as Dartis was last year, one of Harley or Laster isn't going to play much at all if everyone stays healthy. I also think I remember reading Gollon may sit this year with an injury?
I also don't see Wadley getting much PT unless Saul opts to play 10-11 deep. What everyone says about Taylor suggests he's ready to get serious PT this year. He, along with Block, are two sophomores that I'd expect to make serious contributions and get serious PT.
So OUr minutes played are probably gonna look like this:
Tony, Simmons, Dartis, Kaminski, Block - all will probably average close to, or around 30 mins/game or more. That leaves about fifty total minutes to be had. I can see Taylor, Carter, Culver getting 12-15 mins each. I'd have to assume either Laster or Harley (Gollon if healthy), as guards are going to get whatever minutes are left. That leaves Wadley and Dozier on the outside. Of course I know nearly nothing about Dozier, so maybe he ends up in the rotation.
Regardless of what the rotation ends up being, this is one of the more talented Bobcat teams top to bottom that I can remember since my first year in 1995. The 2011-2013 years are obviously up there as well, but this bunch is deep.
