Johnson has been kind of disappearing after the first 5 minutes of the game
Might be better bringing him in off the bench. Let him see the flow of the game and work himself in with the action. Let Burnham start.

he seems to be getting better each game

Pedulla could do this and finish.
Hammond needs to get us going with first pass and then be ready to hit an open jumper or penetrate to middle of lane and create from there. Down low is a no for him at this stage of his career.

here and the vitriol that was directed towards him. He ended up on an ACCC team.

Hammond and Rech have trouble finishing. They both seem to get caught in air with the ball without outlets.

players not being where they should be. If you compare apples and apples, you stick with the first year of the players (and the team), not the senior Storm to the freshman Hammond.

Burnham and Johnson don't play the same position so that would be difficult
Even though Brown is only an emergency PG, the best lineup might be Brown, Schutt, Johnson, Burnham and Lawal
I think bringing back 4 of those next season, looking for a PG and a 5 you'll have a solid group to work with

Don’t you think MY would actually play him? I’ve read your past hatred towards Wessler, so I know you’ll never admit he is the best big they have. But come on man! Your Ryan Jones love has got to stop.

Poteat is 1st off the bench, Wessler is a rotational piece, then give spot minutes to the PGs

He's able to see things better than Hammond and Rech.
I just think we could get more from Johnson off the bench at this phase of his development. He would probably end up with more minutes that way also.
Center spot will be a problem all season with Poteat and Wessler. It hurts my old man body watching Poteat try to move. The effort is definitely there, but he's only a 5-6 minute spurt player.
Wessler is all elbows and knees going every which direction. Only problem, basketball play is more hands and feet. No one can fault his effort though.
Going small with Lawal and Burnham could present matchup problems for some of the ACC bigs if we spread them out. But, then again, they would kill us down low.

All the others just need to knock down open looks, and then we could be tougher.
