I don't have access to stats right now since I'm traveling, but from just watching? I think the freshman want it more.
I think Barry and Sistare (off the bench) are the best guard options right now, and I dont see a reason not to start Emery at the 5. It is not like we are going to get less production than what we have.
For my optimal starting 5 perspective with rationals for each (unsupported by stats at this moment):
Barry- Heady PG that has shown to have great passing ability. Seems to take care of the ball pretty well and starting to become more vocal.
Smith- Talented slasher, but not a PG. Would be served better off the ball as he doesnt tend to make great passes. Not optimal for bringing ball up the court, gets pocket picked a decent amount.
Boudreaux- Boudreaux at the 3 is my dream. I feel like it is his natural position and will allow him to get better looks offensively. He shouldnt have be banging up against 6"9, 6"10 kids every game.
Dickinson-Solid defensive presence, improving post moves. I'd argue that he is pretty interchangable with Ike, and Carter. Could be at the 4, or 5 depending on the matchip.
Emery- Big, getting more aggressive. Ability to stretch the floor more than you would imagine. Emery should be starting at the 4 or 5 and I see no reason why not.
and finally, Miles as a supersub. IMO Miles is too inconsistent offensively and defensively (especially defensively) to start.
