With a projected starting five of

Paulus
Hendo
Scheyer
Singler
Zoubek

and a bench consisting of

Smith
Pocious
Williams
King
Thomas
McClure
Czyz

That's 12 deep...possibly K's deepest team ever.

You have to think a transfer is just around the corner.

The guys on the bench have to take a look and realize that Paulus, Hendo, Scheyer, and Singler will all average close to 30 mins a game next year.

Not much PT for Smith, Williams and Pocious but at least there is an oppurtunity for each to play 10 mins a game.

The real concern is that PT for Thomas, King, McClure and Czyz will be extremely limited or absent altogether.

If Zoubek (or Thomas but hopefully Zoubs) starts next year at the 5 spot you's hope that they would get at least 20 mins a game. The main back up (Thomas in this case) would probably get at least 10 mins a game thus leaving the remaining 10 mins at the 5 spot for King, Czyz, and McClure.

McClure has accepted being a role player and would be fine with 2 mins a game. King and Czyz are a different story though.

King was (and still is) a major prospect and the thought of him being relegated to the bench for a second straight year has to concern him. Looking even further to his junior year not much would change other than the deaprture of McClure however the arrival of Plumlee would certainly factor into his descision to transfer. Much like Boykin he could go back to the west cost and play for any PAC 10 team and probably start once he's done sitting out.

Thomas too may choose to transfer for similar reasons. He knows he'll never play the 3 at Duke and has said in the past that he envisions himself as an NBA 3. If he did transfer (to Rutgers probably) he could use the year off to get even stronger and work at his game at the three spot. Thomas' dream is to play in the NBA and transfering may be his best bet for that to come true.

And finally there is Marty Pocious who also is a great talent fighting to find minutes. He may well find himself behind Elliot Williams come summer and realize that he will never get significant minutes at Duke. He too may choose to transfer.

Solutions to these looming issues? Redshirt Czyz? Not likely as we need all the big men we can get and besides it still wouldn't free up enough minutes to placate the players mentioned above.

I'm not great at predictions but I'd be surprised if soemone doesn't decide to transfer in the next few months.
