Rotation for 2012-2013 season...

[bleedingTNorange]

Well I'm bored so let's talk some B-Ball.

It appeared UT was looking to add another player, but those talks appear to have died. So it would seem that next years roster is set, curious as to how everyone sees the rotation shaking out next year.

We know that early on well probably see 10 or 11, but for the sake of argument let's make the predictions based on start of conference slate. We know CCM likes to play a 9 man rotation, although that 9th man can change game to game, with that said here's my thought...

PG: Trae Golden 30/ Richardson 10
SG: Jordan McRae 20/ mcbee 15/ josh 5
SF: D'montre Edwards 30/ Mcrae 10
F: Jarnell Stokes 30/ maymon 10
F: Jeronne Maymom 20/ Kenny 15/ yemi 5

I think it is very likely we see McBee start at the 2 and McRae at the 3

Seriously, can you please quit listing Maymon at center. The only time it could be argued that he played the center was when he was on the floor with Woolridge as the only other big man and when they were forced to play a 4 guard/wing set when they had injuries down the stretch. Stokes is the starting center, Maymon the starting PF.

Wow, a bit sensitive eh? I'll make them both forwards would that help you sleep tonight?

I think McBee starts and plays way more than 15 minutes. I would say Hall gets all the backup minutes unless there is foul trouble. Yemi was forced into action last year. 3 big guys in a normal rotation should be enough, especially when 2 of those guys are going to get 30+minutes at game. I just don't see Richardson getting all the backup PG minutes. I bet they do it by committee again this year, with maybe McBee running the offense but McRae guarding the others teams PG.

[bleedingTNorange]

My hope is back up and 15 minutes for mcbee. This isn't because I dislike him, it's because I feel if McRae has beaten him out and is gettin 30 minutes that the light has come on for McRae. If mcbee is starting and playing 30 minutes I have my doubts as far as the limitations of this team are concerned.

What you say or do has little to no bearing on how I will or won't sleep. However, if you want to continue to be wrong about stuff, then by all means leave it the way you first posted it. I am about through trying to have civil conversations with you anyway.

So taking away yemi, are you adding a 9th?

Wow I didn't realize our conversations weren't civil?

You and BPC have provided an unusually high amount of comedy tonight. Thank you!

That's what I mean. Peace man but I cannot handle you for the time being. Maybe again in a few months.

Sounds good bro!

[bleedingTNorange]

Back on topic, maybe I'm expecting too much, but I'm looking for good things from Edwards day 1.

Hopefully I'm not setting myself up for disappointment.

That would be a nice asset, but I'm looking for McCrae to be a consistent offensive weopon this year

Hmmm, if ur really that sensitive maybe this board's just not for you...

I just don't see 30 minutes from Edwards for a few reasons. 1) It always seems to take JUCOs a while to adjust. See Dwight Miller for example. There've been others over the years at UT. 2) He played a face up 4 in JUCO, so there'll be adjustment to playing on the wing. 3) I don't think Jordy's a 2 and will get most of the 3 minutes. McBee and Josh will get most of the 2 minutes. Those are just my opinions, though.

I suspect Edwards will be a 10-15 minute guy at the 3 this year, who'll give you 7-8 points and 2-3 rebounds/game.

And that would be fine, with what Tennessee has returning.
