In response to 1LotteryPick1969

Barnes is absolutely a possibility but it depends. Stephens, Cannady and Llewellyn will be starters. Jaelin a PG and Cannady is a SG offensively although Devin is developing skills to get to the hoop. I believe that Mitch will modify his offense to get the ball in Llewellyn's hands a lot as he appears to have very strong ball handling and penetration skills. He will be able to set up 3 pt shooters and he should be able to score right from the start. Both Cannady and Llewellyn can leap. Cannady is a very good rebounder but not a good defender. Can Llewellyn play defense -- to be determined therefore Mitch will have to figure out who gets most of the minutes at center (Arirguzoh or Gladson or Much) and PF (Much or DesRosier or Barnes). Who can defend may decide who gets minutes.

If Llewellyn can play defense, it might change the mix as to the other two starters other than Myles, Devin and Jaelin. It also depends if Jaelin is better off offensively with the middle not being cluttered with a big or if he can pass it to a big when he attacks the rim.

I will take a stab at the starters and back ups.
PG - Jaelin backed up by Morales
SG - Cannady backed up Schweiger although Cannady plays a lot of minutes.
F - Stephens with DesRosiers and Barnes as back ups
PF -- Much with DesRosiers and Barnes as back ups
C -- Arirguzoh with Much and Gladson as back ups

I suspect that DesRosiers will be a 6th man which is a very good role for him with a shooter's mentality and Jaelin should be able to set him up.

Major talent is coming to Jadwin next year -- I think/hope. Take advantage of him. Do not play the traditional Princeton offense which Mitch has moved away from anyhow.
