I think Perkins will get more time then people think because he’s such a good defender.
Projected starting 5

I feel like even with all our talent on offense, when you put Joe T in there we are barely above avg big ten offensive team. He’s a 29% shooter even though the other team doesn’t guard him. Him being on the court killed Wieskamp last year. We need JBo to play 30-35 minutes. Joe T plays solid D and is capable of making his free throws but is a year away from being needed for more than a quick spell for Jordan.
Joe T is a phenomenal FT shooter. He also is a great facilitator and defender. He’s a guy you want starting.
Disagree only to the extent Jordan's experience, leadership, floor vision and, of course shooting, probably give him the starting spot. However, no one should be disappointed if Joey T starts. We haven't had that speed, athleticism and penetration for year. Expect each guard will play around 25-28 minutes per game.
Joey T is a good free throw shooter late in games and supposedly has returned to campus as a much better over all shooter. The guard dilemma is a great problem to have.
It all depends on the matchups. They could both play center in a small ball lineup. Fran's already suggested he could play Connor at the 5, and he was guarding 4's for a bulk of last season as well. It's not that crazy.
Just reading an article from a day ago now where Fran makes it sound like we could be seeing Keegan Murray play more in place of Nunge.
Their tallest player is 6’9. My guess is that Connor, Wieskamp, or a Murray twin would all be capable if JO is out
Oh really ???
Patrick was first off the bench, vs NC Central, sparked the team and
I just don't know how you keep his talent out of the starting lineup.
Patrick is the 2nd best NBA prospect on the team and this is what his
3rd or 4th game, as a College player.
