Kevin Whitaker over at NYC Buckets has some insights heading into Friday. It sounds like he's made some calls around. Worth a look as you consider your 5.

Very insightful article. Thanks for the heads up.

As for Harvard, although Juzang (14pts) and Aiken (17pts) played well vs MIT and Kevin Whittaker is merely recognizing that, I expect them to play behind Corbin Miller and Andre Chapman, neither of whom played vs MIT, and, of course, Corey Johnson, who only played 10 minutes vs MIT. Amaker has the depth and schedule to rest key players, and it started against MIT as only Siyani (returning from injury) and Chris Egi (working his way into a larger role) saw significant minutes among upperclassmen.

In competitive games, I don't see Amaker eschewing Johnson, Miller or Chapman for Juzang nor Siyani for Aiken. Aiken will get minutes as Siyani's backup, but Juzang might have to wait for next year.

Towns is set as the SF. Matchups and performance will dictate who joins Chris Lewis off the bench - Baker, Perez, or Dragovich or who backups up Seth Towns.

Starters:

Edosomwan
Egi
Towns
Johnson
Chambers

This lineup allows Chris Lewis to be on the court when Zena is not. He could dominate some Ivy backup 4/5's. It also provides three long range shooting options. On the other hand, the FT shooting deficiencies of Zena and Egi should impact the end of game lineups in close games.

That's starting only one player under 6'5". If the game dictates small ball, Aiken/Miller/Chatfield/Ju zang stand ready and if an opponent pressures the guards, Chambers and Aiken should join forces to make such a team pay for that strategy (see the Penn board) and Juzang/Chatfield/Miller could join them.

Any Yale and Columbia gurus to round out the IL projections?

I think Yale will be:

Mason
Phills
Dallier
Bruner
Downey

Oni/Phills and Downey/Reynolds would be the biggest question marks in my opinion.

For Columbia, if I had to hazard a guess...

Smith
Hickman
Meisner
McComber
Petrasek

...but there are plenty of Lions gurus around these parts that probably have a better idea than I.

For Brown, I'd love to see Nos. 1-5 on the floor a lot together, but I'm not sure that lineup can play any D.

I'll make that my guess:

Blackmon
Anderson
Okolie
Spieth
Fuller

Though, I'd imagine Anderson sits to start in favor of a relatively bigger guard like a Hobbie.

Dockerty will play more than Anderson, Wilkinson will get minutes, Erebor too.

I'll take Anderson over Daugherty in a noticeable way. I agree that both Wilkinson and Erebor will be given opportunities. Frankly anyone with size that can remotely play will be given a shot on this team...

Fully agree the scrimmage could have been a total fluke for Juzang, but I'd be pretty surprised if Aiken didn't play more than Miller/Chatfield.

In my gut I think you're right. But Amaker does have a history of prefering to bring freshman along slowly. I'm sure he would prefer not to 'disrespect' Corbin and possibly Andre as well. Regardless, by tournament time I believe Mike has been expecting Aiken to be an eventual starter this year for quite some time. If Aiken and Siyani play together it does present a size issue on defense. Also, need Aiken to be on the court when Siyani isn't. Precedent could be Siyani and Brandyn - they often didn't play together until crunch time.

The scrimmage wasn't a fluke for Juzang. The kid can go with the best of them. Check his stats from the Under Armour Circuit.

Thanks, that's exciting, especially since Juzang hasn't received much attention in this class. Didn't mean to undercut Juzang, just noting that the 27 minutes he played against MIT was because Amaker sat his depth chart at the 2: Johnson (10 min), Miller (0), McCarthy (3) and Chatfield (0). PG's Chambers and Aiken are likely untouchable. Interested to see if Juzang even gets on the floor againt Stanford Friday night.

I really liked what Juzang showed. It bodes well for Juzang next year or if the opponent has a physical PG that either Siyani or Brice need help on defensively this year.
