Thinking like a reporter (old habits die hard!): With only two seasons left to play, I'm elated that Cowart signed, but I'm wondering why he didn't go somewhere he could possibly start. Or could Jordan Dartis possibly be a medical redshirt next season?
Just start your five best players. If Kirk, Cowart, and Dartis are 3 of our 5 best players then start all three of them. It shouldn't be an issue.
I hear ya, bigtillyoopsupsideurhead! And it can work, especially against teams that regularly play three guards, such as Buffalo. I wouldn't want to have to be the one who guards the "3" against teams that start a small forward, but what you lose in height on defense, you may gain in quickness at the other end. At least I hope so. So we'll see how this shakes out. And I assume you weren't speaking literally about starting your five best players, but in principle. I've seen situations where a team's best six players were all guards and wings. But they had to wedge a post player in the starting lineup anyway.
