clarkwgriswold Posted October 9, 2018 Report Posted October 9, 2018 So, Zips insiders, what's everybody's guess on a starting lineup and rotation? Quote

Ivey, Utomi, Sales, Hester, Riak. Who is our center this year? Quote
Let'sGoZips94 Posted October 9, 2018 Report Posted October 9, 2018 PG: Jackson SG: Hester SF: Ivey PF: Utomi C: Riak I could see Sayles instead of Riak, and I could see one of the JUCO guys instead of Jackson. This roster is LOADED on paper. Let's hope they execute! 1 Quote

We have such limited knowledge at this point and I expect the lineup and rotation to be evolving throughout much of the season, but it's so fun to speculate. My starting five are: PG: Banks SG: Hester SF: Ivey PF: Utomi C: Sayles Edit: After revisiting Hester's highlight videos I made a change at SG. I could also see Toles challenge Ivey, but Ivey has experience on his side and as long as he's being an effective leader he should be locked into the starting lineup.

clarkwgriswold Posted October 9, 2018 Report Posted October 9, 2018 Just so many interchangeable 6-3 to 6-7 guys. This could be fun. 2 Quote

Ivey has had some big games, but he could be more effective driving to the hoop. For me, it's about Ivey's leadership. I would love to see some of these battles play out in practice.

Hilltopper Posted October 9, 2018 Report Posted October 9, 2018 Ivey, Utomi, Sayles, Jackson, any one of these depending on the matchup(Riak, Hester, Banks, Toles). Quote

I'm just curious if you have more to add here. It looks like we are all focused on the same group of players. Quote
NWAkron Posted October 9, 2018 Report Posted October 9, 2018 Which one is Jackson? What's his background? Quote

Dr Z Posted October 9, 2018 Report Posted October 9, 2018 According to coach, it was not a good day of practice, a lack of focus and effort. Quote
LZIp Posted October 19, 2018 Report Posted October 19, 2018 ^^ I love the idea of the gold jersey. Not surprised one bit that Utomi is leading the way. 1 Quote
