Rotation Without Prather and Wilbekin

[GatorsGators]

So... Without Wilbekin and Prather for now, what do you expect the starting lineup to be and who do you expect to receive big minutes off the bench?

I'd guess:

PG: Boynton (25 minutes) / Ogbueze (15 minutes)
SG: Rosario (25 minutes) / Graham (10 minutes) / Boynton (5 minutes)
SF: Frazier (25 minutes) / Walker (5 minutes) / Graham (5 minutes) / Yeguete (5 minutes)
PF: Murphy (20 minutes) / Yeguete (20 minutes)
C: Young (30 minutes) / Murphy (10 minutes)

The bigs will have to play a lot of minutes without Prather available to play the four and with Yeguete possibly having to play some three. I think all three freshman guards getting quality minutes. Walker is pretty raw; he'll probably be the last guy off the bench.

I think we'll start with Yeguete in the line-up instead of a 3 guard

Since Donovan said the PG depth chart was Boynton, Rosario, Ogbueze, I am not expecting Ogbueze to play much at PG anyway. I think, given Georgetown's size, the minute distribution barring foul trouble will be more like:

PG: Boynton 35 min, Rosario 5 min
SG: Rosario 20 min, Frazier and Graham splitting the other 20 min.
SF: Walker 20 min, Frazier 10 min, Yeguete 10 min
PF: Murphy 20 min, Yeguete 20 min
C: Young 30 min, Murphy 10 min

Of course if Rosario is playing well he could move up toward 35 minutes too. I think whomever plays well between Frazier and Graham will play most of the extra 2/3 minutes. Ogbueze could get in the mix at the 2 also and heck if he gets a few minutes at the 1 and players well he might get more minutes there.

Yeguete will back up the 5 some so there are going to be a lot of moving parts tonight. Pretty sure the rotation is going to be pretty organic.

let's play donovan jr.

He's money in the wind

let's play donovan jr.

Thats actually what I was thinking. Play him at the 5 and move Patric to the point.

Exactly. I highly doubt he plays any three. Those freshmen will get plenty of time. Between Frazier, Graham, and Walker, we won't need Yeguete there.

Insti, you don't have Ogbueze playing at all? I think he gets 5 min at the PG and another 10-15 at the SG. Frazier will get way more time at SF than Walker and WY will play some at the 5.

Either way, 3 Bigs splitting 80 minutes will limit what we can do. Not to mention if WY has to play some at the SF. Prather's return & development will be key at SF and 4-8 minutes at PF, just to add some depth. I was hoping that Larson could have provided those 4-8 minutes, but oh well.

I don't but with Prather and Wilbekin this would be the time of game I would not have predicted minutes for more than one of the frosh. Additionally, I mentioned in my comments how if Ogbueze gets in and plays well early he could end up with big minutes.

in the one half against Georgetown, the rotation was:

Boynton, Rosario, Young, Yeguete, Murphy - 38 minutes
Frazier - 6 minutes
Ogbueze - 4 minutes

We might have seen more substitutions in the 2nd half, but for 20 minutes, it was all with 19 except Frazier with 2 and Ogbueze with 1.

That actually is roughly what I expected to see, at least against a quality Georgetown team.
