PG: Nate Mason/Stephon Sharp
SG: Akeem Springs/Dupree McBrayer/Ahmad Gilbert
SF: Davonte Fitzgerald/Amir Coffey
PF: Jordan Murphy/Michael Hurt
C: Reggie Lynch/Eric Curry

I'm hoping we see very little of Konate this year. He's a big body, but unless he's improved his low post game, we're playing 4 against 5 offensively. I really like the depth at SF and PF this year. I think it's a huge upgrade over Morris, King and Buggs. I think Pitino has a lot of options and flexibility depending on how he wants to play this season. Personally wouldn't mind a Fitz/Coffey/Murphy front court even though it's going to be undersized.

I don't have any expectation going into this year, other than we won't finish last in the conference(thank you Rutgers) If we tripled our conference wins, I'd call it a success.

Hurt is a sf and won't see many minutes at 4. Fitzgerald should and curry is more of a 4 than a 5

Lineup is a lot deeper than last year. Shouldn't be laughing stock

I agree, was just trying to find minutes for Hurt. The problem is we're going to be undersized, unless god forbid Konate or Diedhiou see the floor, so because of that, I wouldn't mind Curry as a back up at the 5. I'm hoping some of the transfers can be leaders, because depending on young players to do that doesn't bode well. And I don't really trust Mason with that responsibility either.

But you are right, we seem to have a lot more options this year, and should, be deeper because of it. If we can get to 6-8 conference wins, I'd sign up for that now, with everybody coming back the following year, minus Springs.

Sucks to lose an important piece. Looks like Coffey will have to take on an expanded roll now, which could end up being a good thing though.
