A lot easier to look at like...
PG - Pasha
Wing - 2 of Bedford, Schutt and Johnson (all will play probably close to equal minutes)
4 - Lawal
5 - Hansberry
I would have Dorn above Gurdak at the moment. It's a lot harder to know how an 18 year old will adjust to college than a foreign 22 year old. Gurdak may ultimately win the job outright or eventually become the guy later in the season, but it's pretty telling the staff went and got 2 grown men to play center. You dont spend resources it would take to get a 22 year old with professional experience to have them be the 3rd center
All 3 will play, just like the wing spots. I think Hansberry will outpace both in minutes played, but I would expect around 12 to 15 mpg from Dorn and 5 to 12 from Gurdak.
PG will be about a 60/40 split between Pasha and Hammond with Bedford getting emergency PG duties.
If they add the INTL wing, then I would pencil him in for close to 30 mpg with serious hits to Schutt and Bedford's minuted.
I'm not expecting Sincere Jones to factor into the rotation for a while. Hansberry is the backup 4. Johnson played 4 in emergency situations last season. Jones can sit and learn.

If Hawthorne comes aboard, is he in the Dev/Sit category?

Could be, but I don't think we are getting a top 75 player to be the 5th.

Thinking Gurdak is in the mold of a bigger PJ Hall with room to develop.
