I'm going to try and guess our starters for next years Kansas game, just for the **** of it and I'm bored, lol.

PG-Marquis Teague
Backup-Doron Lamb
Marquis Teague is one **** of a floor general. He can do everything a coach can ask for a top-tier point guard and more. Though, he does need to work on his 3-point shooting. I think Brandon Knight will keep getting better and better as the season goes on, he's made for the NBA game and I think he'll leave this year. Doron Lamb will keep getting better as a backup 1 and maybe starting 2 guard with Liggins going to the 3 later this year. I think he could go to the NBA, but I'll think he'll stay for another year.

SG-DeAndre Liggins
Backup-Poole/Miller
Hmm, the 2 is a very tough one. Liggins is a junior and probably one of if not the best defnesive player in the country. That could make him decide to go to the NBA, and I think he'll definitley be a 1st round pick if he chooses that route. I'm going to say he and Miller will both stay. But, in my opinion, Stacey Poole will be a solid backup at the 2 if Liggins stays.

SF-Michael Gilchrist
Backup-Miller/Liggins
This is a given. Gilchrist is just a beast, and would start on any team in the country. I don't see Darius Miller being a backup, after starting for the last 2 years. But, he has a great team attitude and always puts team first, so ya never know. If for some reason Darius Miller leaves, Liggins and Poole could play the 3 sometimes, like swingmen.

PF-Kyle Wiljter
Backup-Eloy Vargas
We all know that TJ will be heading to the NBA after this year, and there's probably a 99% chance that Kanter won't magically be eligible to play next year and pick UK over the NBA. Wiljter is 6'9 and an absolutely great shooter. He's a big man that can run the court, shoot from anywhere on the floor with ease, and defend decently in the post. He's also a great passer. I think he will be a great fit for our offense and a great fit at the 4 position in Coach Cal's offense.

PF/C-Anthony Davis
Backup-Vargas/Wiljter
Anthony Davis. This kid can play. He has great moves down low and is a excellent defender, blocking the **** out of anything that comes his way. I read that he grew seven inches in a year, so he's going to have to put on some muscle and improve his strength in the post. But, his upside outweighs the downside by a ton. He's alot like Wiljter, he has ball skills and is a great passer, he's just a better all-around post player. I think these two will switch postions when needed and give each other a rest.


This is just my rough draft of what I think our lineup will look like come Kansas time next year. The game is in November, so we'll still be very young and undeveloped. But these new freshmen coming in look like they will be able to play, and our bench will be loaded with veterans who can come into the game and play like starters. We'll have speed, veteran leadership, and size. I'm excited.

What do you guys think? Please make all the tweaks and advice you can.
