Starting Five

[rocklobster]

I know Travis will go deep into the bench, but I was wondering who you all think the starting Five will be.
I'm thinking Whitney, Martin, Dischon, Anderson, and Bannon, with Vazquez and Oke first off the bench.

Duquense's projected starters are 5'8, 6'2, 6'3, 6'7 and 6'7. I think history shows DeCuire is more about defensive match-ups so I would sub Vazquez for Anderson. I also read that the 5'8 guard has been injured so not sure if that changes anything. I believe Anderson sometimes hurts starting games due to his propensity to foul, which often can result in an early bonus situation for the other team. I think Anderson can be great energy off the bench.

Yes, Duquesne will play without their projected starting pg. Here's a good Dukes preview, posted last night.

This was a great preview - Thanks. The pg projected to replace the injured 5'8 pg is 5'9, so I am sticking with my predicted line-up. And he's a freshman, so I suspect he will get his "welcome to d-1 basketball" baptism courtesy of Mr. Whitney. Whitney does a great job on smaller guards.

My guess on what I've seen. I think Whitney, Martin, Dischon, and Bannon are your starters. The fifth will be interesting and may vary throughout the year. Don't sleep on Moody, who added with Anderson, Vazquez, and Oke make 8. Brown would be in the mix too I would think for PT. That's 9 for setting your 8 on any given game. Outside that, Nap if he doesn't redshirt or there is a need with injury - or maybe he becomes a starter by playoff time??? Everyone else seems to be a redshirt or spot player.

AstuteGriz living up to his name. According to the Duquesne online stat sheet - Moody is the 5th starter.
