I would have started Ulis and Booker over the Harrisons last season after the way the Harrison twins played so uncontrolled. First off, you have two guards who are 6'5 that don't even shoot 40% from the field. Their shot selection was horrible, especially when you had two big men in Karl-Anthony Towns and Willie Cauley-Stein that both shot over 55% from the field. Yet the Harrisons took 145 more shots than Towns and Cauley-Stein that season despite making almost 20% less of their shots. Towns, especially, should have touched the ball in the post on every possession. The only time that happened was against Notre Dame in the elite eight.

At the beginning of the season I would have started the twins given how well they played in the tournament in 2014. After they started taking all the errant shots, though, I would have benched them until they utilized better shot selection and let the offense run through the dominant big men. Ulis and Booker played unselfish and the offense ran so much smoother with them on the court. Booker stretched defenses at the 2 position with his three point shooting (Aaron Harrison shot only 32% from the 2 position while taking almost 40 more attempts on the season) and Ulis played very wise as a freshman. The combination of Ulis and Booker starting combined with the Harrison twins coming off the bench would have either (A) led to the twins playing more controlled basketball and earning their starting positions back or (B) the team would have won a title with Ulis and Booker's unselfish play while the Harrison twins provided a nice spark off the bench.
