rotations with this team and it just got more complicated for many of you. Many on here talk like we're going to have a legit 13-man rotation. Everybody is gonna do....something.

The question you need to start with is: which 3 guys are not going to play?

No, I don't necessarily mean they don't play ever, but at the end of the year their real mpg is under 5.
For example, the stat sheet says Santos played 12.3 mpg. That is 246 minutes in 20 games. But there were really 32 games so his real mpg was 7.7.

So, looking for guys who's real mpg is under 5 and likely don't appear in many games.

Personally, if Mitch can make any sort of improvement over what he was doing late in the season, I'd support redshirting Brown. I can hear it now, but Brown can do this and this and he'll be a major factor on this team. Listen, 13 guys simple can not play a notable role. Somebody has to sit and Brown might be pressed to find a role this season but I think we all agree he has a real good upside. Let him develop and balance the classes a bit.

I see no role for Okongo other than the occasional defensive specialist if Tilmon is in foul trouble. Nikko is not great, but he is steady on D and has at least a bit of offense.

#3 is probably Mitch or Braun or McKinney. Hell if I know.

Been so much speculation about starting lineups and - alwaysright MU - 6/11 20:12:17

My guess is that Axel gets minutes in early season non-con - GeorgiaTiger76 MU - 6/12 15:08:55

My uneducated guess at 1st glance at the 4 and 5 - longtimereader MU - 6/12 19:47:51

That's a good starting point - alwaysright MU - 6/14 07:57:37

I’m waiting on practice reviews before guessing on Axel - wu-tangtiger MU - 6/12 15:42:44

You're right (nm) - TheWildcat STL - 6/12 08:57:30

Not playing Okongo much I consider a mistake, - GA Tiger MU - 6/12 07:38:45

We already have Nikko and Tilmon - BOILERTIGER MU

- 6/12 07:44:47

Agreed. (nm) - TheWildcat STL - 6/12 09:54:21

I'm right there with you BT - Mormad MU - 6/12 09:42:00

No one thinks we're going to have a 13 man rotation - Mizzmi27 MU - 6/12 07:19:51

Break it into categories - wu-tangtiger MU - 6/11 21:49:23

You don't think Nikko is going to see regular minutes? - Mormad MU - 6/12 09:40:25

Mizzou was bad when Tilmon was out of games last season - wu-tangtiger MU - 6/12 09:47:29

I disagree, but I think he has limited utility - Mormad MU - 6/12 09:53:09

and that's where Okongo could come in - longtimereader MU - 6/12 14:31:47

Agreed, Reed was very serviceable last year, some nights - itznotwillis MU - 6/12 09:42:37

I agree, wouldn't be surprised if he's even better this year - Uncle John MU

The natural arc of his progression so far says he will be(nm) - longtimereader MU - 6/12 14:33:56

For now I will lean towards the players with a higher - wu-tangtiger MU - 6/12 12:07:46

CM track record suggest the experienced players will play - longtimereader MU - 6/12 14:38:56

True, but that’s been for top of the rotation players - wu-tangtiger MU - 6/12 15:35:33

sounds about right and hoping Jackson is the real deal - Jeff85 MU - 6/12 08:24:21

I think the team will be at least a bubble team anyways - wu-tangtiger MU - 6/12 09:05:59

This team will offer a lot of different combinations - longtimereader MU - 6/12 14:50:45

He lineup variation that intrigues me at this point - wu-tangtiger MU - 6/12 15:38:58

I'm not going to even hesitate to say it..providing for good - longtimereader MU - 6/12 14:41:47

This was meant to go to the post below (nm) - longtimereader MU - 6/12 14:53:02

how much small with Jackson at the 5 and big guards - Jeff85 MU - 6/12 10:02:43

Hopefully most of the time when Tilmon is out of games - wu-tangtiger MU - 6/12 10:23:14

It will be interesting if JT does or doesnt have foul troubl - MU-TULSA MU - 6/12 08:00:15

no one has gotten opening day starting line ups correct yet - Your Daddy MU - 6/11 20:55:57

He started CVL(nm) - itznotwillis MU - 6/11 22:31:49

Most coaches like to play guys that don’t make mistakes - wu-tangtiger MU - 6/11 22:45:20

Like to see CVL come back as a GA, if not MU, someplace, nm - MU-TULSA MU - 6/12 09:42:39

Experience is why Mitch, and even Braun, have a leg up on - alwaysright MU - 6/12 05:27:25

Braun has zero game experience at this level - Jeff85 MU - 6/12 08:15:14

I get where he's coming from - longtimereader MU - 6/12 14:57:57

Practicing with the team for a year is more experience than - alwaysright MU - 6/12 13:21:09
