Early rotation?

[gauchoheel]

Have starters been announced? I presume we'll see Love/Davis/Leaky/Nance/Bacot tonight and for the first real game.

First off the bench? My guess would be Puff, with Styles and Trimble next up. Those three could spell about anyone with our current starters.

How deep on the bench do we go early on? I'd imagine we can play 10-11 guys at least in the first few games since we aren't facing any high-level teams until the PK85. I assume Washington is not ready yet, and Shaver's minutes may be very limited; everyone else I'd think would get 4-5 minutes or more.

Depends on if Love is fully recovered from his hamstring pull.

Dunn had been getting the majority of reps as starting SG when Love sat.

Too early for these many injuries! Yikes!

- Justin McKoy (non-Covid illness)

- RJ Davis (sprained right hand)

- Puff Johnson (right knee soreness)

- Jalen Washington (rehabbing injured knee)

All four Tar Heel players are out for tonights game vs. Johnson C. Smith and God only knows for how much longer

Love/Puff sat out the live action game.

Leaky sat out the Blue/White game.

Variously players sat out the pick-up games at Coach's basketball camp.


10 days until the regular season. I would guess everyone except Washington will play in the season opener.

Good news!

Puff could be the 4 man if/when we play 1in 4out. Or even better Black at the 4, Puff at the 3. Otherwise Nance starts most games at the 4.

Barring injury, nance will start every game at the 4.

WE see the staring spots already, not rocket science, the question is the bench rotations. You really didn't see that with RJ, puff, Washington, and McKoy out last night ( a min of 3 of those guys will be regular rotation staples).
