Someone has to be a 6th man. Who is going to slide into that role?
It ain't Cunningham. It ain't Trey. You have two potential league honor winners in the future. Cunningham is preseason first team. He isn't coming off the bench. Trey is in the top 30 in the conference in scoring and 4th in rebounding. I think he gets some defensive honors once the season is over.
You have Obi, top 10 in scoring and 23rd in rebounding. Tied for first in the league in FG%. Mikesell is top 15 in rebounding and scoring.
Start all 4 plus Jalen and bring Davis off the bench. Trey can play the 2 and I would rather have a defensive minded team getting out in transition to start the game than a better three point shooting team. Bring Davis in off of the bench once the perimeter loosens up and ride the hot lineups based on matchups. If you are running a 5 or 4 out, who cares who your 2 is.
Good problem to have.
