Way-Too-Early Projected Lineups and Stat Lines for the 2024-2025 Season

Hey now...if you start a thread like this you at least have to start with some predictions.....

Here is mine to get things started.

Proctor 25 min
Foster 25 min
Flagg 25 min
Maluach 25 min
Brown 20 min
Gillis 20 min
Kon 15 min
Evans 15 min
Harris 15 min
Ngongba 15 min

And please go ahead and add this to the outlandish predictions thread that will be checked at the end of next year :)

Lol. Well played. And we will NEVER play that deep. Only foul trouble gets us to 8/9 guys. You have TEN guys at 10+ minutes. That’s crazy talk ��

Every year someone predicts this and it NEVER happens. Only chance was that maybe Scheyer would change from K. But now we see the same. Last year SEVEN guys averaged 10 minutes or more. SEVEN. Nine guys had 8 minutes or more as that adds Stewart and Blakes
 
Proctor 33
Foster 32
Flagg 32
Maluach 24
Brown 20
Gillis 20
K2 13
Evans 12
Harris 6
Ngongba 8

I don't understand how there is room for a third guard out of the portal. One of K2/Evans/Harris will need to step up and take those minutes, and I would expect one of the three will be able to do so.
My guesses on the minutes for those three are likely wrong -- I expect the minutes will be much less balanced among them, as one of them will take a larger share and leave less for the others. I also suspect that the two which shine less will have minutes decreased to give more time to Brown and Gillis.

Just remove Foster/Proctor for 5 games each and recompute. Then throw in a 7 game stretch where one of them shoots 20% from 3. :)
 
I think Ngongba is the guy who gets more playing time than we think. I think the two transfers get more playing time at the beginning of the season but ended up not playing big roles at the end of the season.
 
The question mark I have with the current roster, is who is going to shoot the ball? Whoever does that plays b/c I don't see much if any shooting on this team.
 
A couple people I trust who know more than me have told me that all the freshmen can play in this class. They don't expect any of them to not push for minutes even as freshmen.

Agreed... this is a big swing for someone's SECOND POST on DBR ;)

I'm withholding any prognostications here until our forays into the portal are settled.

I don't think there's any need to rag on this new user. The concept is solid - we always have these absurdly early minutes threads. But the game has just shifted so that rosters are far from set.

Also. This new user uses the proper nomenclature in "way-too-early."

Are we suggesting this this particular "way-too-early" thread is even earlier than "way-too-early?"

Fair. My ragging was meant to be tongue-in-cheek and sarcastic, although that doesn't always come through in text ;)

No harm.

All in all, I've seen much much worse posts and comments from new board members!

not to mention those of us whose posts and comments have festered for decades.

IMO (my H disappeared many posts ago):

any member of the (current) 10-man roster might average 10 points and 18 minutes/game next year.
I don't know which guys will reach those milestones, but it could be any of them.

Further, I think that any of them could reach 10 ppg if they got the 18 minutes and a role that demanded a certain number of shots per game. They all seem to have the potential to be that good by January.

Any does not mean all, of course. Barring injury or underperformance, at least a couple will probably get less burn than their talent and effort might warrant.
 
I'm concerned about guard depth. Last year Foster and Proctor were out a combined 12 games (I think). So here's the lineup when one is out.

Foster 0
Proctor 37 min
Flagg 38 min
Maluach 25 min
Brown 30 min
Gillis 30 min
Kon 20 min
Evans 12 min
Harris 6 min
Ngongba 2 min

My takeaways are we have a very unbalanced lineup, playing guys together that may not mesh well. And we're forced to play Kon and Evans more minutes than I'm guessing their performance justifies (we'll see, hopefully wrong there.)
