Anyone care to take a crack at distributing the 200 minutes per game to this roster and what you would plan on as coach to average out over the coming season? Here is last year's breakdown (loosely, accounting for injuries):

Preston - 38
Vander Plas - 33
Dartis - 31 (gone)
McDay - 29
Ogbonda - 25 (gone)
Roderick - 15
Springs - 7 (gone)
McMurray - 7
Foster - 7
Miles Brown - 7
Murrell - 4 (gone)

I like this excercise because it forces your hand, you can't just sing the praises of the whole roster. Always a difficult task that ends in you have to place some guys out of the rotation.

I'll take a crack at it:

Preston - 35
Vander Plas - 35
McDay - 30
Roderick - 25
Wilson - 25
Miguel - 20
Foster - 8
Sears - 7
Miles Brown - 7

McMurray, White, Towns, Granger - 8 total (not in regular rotation).

Early indications with Boals are he isn't afraid to ride his top guys with experience. The above is very experience heavy and very little from the Freshmen. 1 or 2 could rise up and earn more but my guess right now is he has his 6 main guys on the court about 80% of the time.

Any starting lineup outside of Preston, McDay, Roderick, BVP, and Wilson would be a surprise, assuming health. Boals had high praise for Foster's growth, so I don't see him being a garbage time guy. What's most interesting to me are the backup guard and wing spots. Do you go small with Sears and Brown when Roderick and McDay go to the bench, or bigger with White, Towns, and/or McMurray. I happened to recently watch Jalen White's high school footage again and I'm telling you, he looks like another 200+ career three pointers player. His stroke is so pure, I don't know how you don't play a shot maker like that unless his defense is a complete liability.
