Scenario 2. Duke has Jefferson but not Parker.
Mason starts at the 5, Kelly at the 4. Jefferson first big off the bench.
Mason sits, Kelly moves to the 5, Jefferson plays the 4.
Kelly sits Jefferson plays the 4.
Now, this is an oversimplification. Perhaps Hairston is the first big off the bench. Perhaps Marshall is the back-up 5. Perhaps Dawkins redshirts and Jefferson plays more 3 than originally planned.
But it does show how Jefferson and Parker's decisions could impact each other.
