Line-up, 10-26-06...

[ksu_FAN]

I'm sure its fluid at this point, but based on what we heard yesterday, our line-up would look like this (not counting walk-ons):

PG Young OR Maybank
Stewart*
SG Harris OR Wright
SF Hoskins
Walker**
PF Martin
Yearby
Kent***
C Colon OR Bennett
Afeli

* Coming off knee surgery.
**#8 recruit will play first game vs KennSU.
*** Injured, likley to miss anther week; most likely to open a 'ship this season IMO.
Bold are players who have "locked up" a starting spot at this point.

I wonder if Walker will get a starting spot this season once he gets here.  I figure he will come off the bench the first few games regardless but where would he fit in a starting line up.  Hoskins and Martin are locks, and I figure it will eb hard to keep wright off the court as huggie will love his defense.  Any thoughts on Walker starting?

[ksu_FAN]

Depends on what being several weeks behind will do for him.  The other issue is he'll be behind Hoskins, and it sounds like Huggins really likes Hoskins.  I suppose we could play both together.  I don't think initially he'll start, and he may end up starting some games based on match-ups.

i think i would like to see young, harris and walker flying down the court on a fast break at some point.

There is an article on Rivals right now about 15 of the best players in the 2007 class.  They label the best shooter, scorers, pro prospect, and etc.  The Best Defender? They list Bill Walker as the best defender.  If that is true than that could help Bill get into the line up sooner.  Huggins likes guys who can defend, and if Walker proves he is a top defender, then he will see alot more time, and eventually start.

Best Defender: Bill Walker
Best Pro Prospect: Beasley
Best Clutch Preformer: Mayo

Huggins likes to have 8 or more players in the rotation with all of them getting between 10 and 25 minutes, so there is plenty of opportunity to play even if you don’t start.  And Huggins also likes to have one of his better players -- even a better player than possibly one of the starts -- come of the bench as the sixth man.  Walker will find his nitch as will Hoskins, Wright, etc.
