Staring bball lineup vs Duke

[Andrew Scott]

@Gerry Hamilton what do you anticipate the starting lineup will look like vs Duke given their length and will it most likely be different in SEC play?

 

Mark

Weaver

Swaim

Codie

Matas

Thoughts?

Swain has to guard Boozer a lot IMO 

They have so much length on the perimeter with skill …

Weaver

Heide 

Swain 

Matas or Lassina … may be that game 

…. 

But think you have to build a rotation long term vs one game 

That starting lineup may be

Something going on with Wilcher? Surprised to not see him listed here.

Nope. Texas is pleased with him 

[Gerry Hamilton]

BTW, a lot of the lineup talk will be if Texas hold Matas and Lassina out of the Duke game. 

I would say it's 50-50 as of today. Matas' ankle still has enough swelling that they may have to make a season is most important vs. one game decision. 

Lassina the same. Want him to be 110% when he returns to the court.

Makes sense Gerry. In Coach Miller we trust… until we turn on him.

Sometimes who coach wants starting the game is different than who coach wants on the court to end it…

Can't wait!

And he’s rumored to be flirting with the Memphis Grizzlies job…

I think the highs and lows with Miller will be there early because these aren't all his guys yet. His players will love his honesty and once they adapt to his flow they have a much higher ceiling than any team they had lately thanks to his coaching ability and vision for the future. Let him build this thing organically within a flow, he has a lot of young Jim Calipari, Rick Pitino to him. He's due for a title by the time his career runs out. Great hire.
