Now that we know Greg Wesley will be in the mix for playing time this season, let's take a stab at what your starting lineup would look like.

Here's mine:

PG - Chris Jones, Todd Eaglin

off guard- TJ Taylor/Carrington Ward

SF - Jordan Williams/Maurice Anfieok

SF - Muhammed Ahmed/Jeremy Combs

PF - Colin Voss/Greg Wesley

If this is the roster we go into 2014-2015 with (far from guaranteed, based on the past):

PG - Chris Jones, Todd Eaglin, GWP

SG - Mo Aniefiok/TJ Taylor, C. Ward, GWP, D. Harris

SF - Jordan Williams, Greg Wesley/Aniefiok, Muhammed Ahmed

PF - Muhammad Ahmed, Jeremy Combs/Wesley

PF - Colin Voss, Armani Flannigan

6th man: Who ever isn't starting between Taylor and Aniefiok.

I've never seen Combs show any small forward skills like ball handling or scoring much from outside the paint. Cooley, who's seen him play live confirmed this. I don't see him at SF. As for Wesley, he has the skill set to play SF but he needs a lot of work refining his dribbling and shooting. The ability is there though, hence all those offers he had. But we'll need him in the post too.

Why eould you pick Flanigan to start?

Jump ball play a few minutes and being either Mo or Muhammed off the bench. Flannigan started many games last year and from what I heard some people (as in people on the bench not in here) were happy with the lineup.

One thing is for sure, we're going to be very thin in the front court. Both weight and depth. Not to mention short, with Flannigan being are tallest at 6'8" and the rest either 6'7" or 6'6".

Outside of Voss, the other guys are right at or less than 200 lbs. Ahmed is listed at 210 and probably projects better, body-type wise, to small forward but we desperately need him down low. Flannigan was listed at a generous 200 lbs and did get pushed around a lot last year because of it. Combs and Wesley are both under 200, with Combs likely around 180.

As several of us have noted - we should change our style of play to press and/or run-n-gun. Use our lack of size as an advantage.
