Playing time is about talent plus opportunity...
I know you think you're being snarky about a perceived lack of talent level in a class that includes a Top 10 ranked player all-time, but the actual answer is that no one person can answer that question in July the year before the season even begins.
If Florida State has 12 centers and one wing, then Ben Hammond would get 30 minutes a game. If Pittsburgh had 13 PGs then Lawal would play every minute of every game.
Opportunity matters more than talent when it comes to comparison of playing time between teams.
VT had a Top 5 recruit of all time last year who couldn't wrestle away a starting PG spot from Sean Pedulla...now both Pedulla and Rice are going to other P5 Schools (in richer conferences) to be their respective starting PGs.
So when you ask which players would play significant minutes for other contending teams, it's actually you who wouldn't like the answer...

Sounds like some talent there, and it may take one of CMY's best coaching
