You're the coach, you've got 200 minutes per game to divide. How would you do it?

Here is my break down:

Mathieu: 33
Hollins: 32
Morris: 27
King: 28
Walker: 28

Mason: 22
Buggs: 14
Eliason: 12
Konate: 4

More Morris, less Buggs on average. Games Buggs is stroking it from 3 and it's less half court driven or in games vs a Zone defense or we are playing a zone defense then Buggs should get minutes..

I'm going to kill myself for saying this, but I almost want EE to play some minutes at the 4 in the B1G....

I think the whole thing depends on the rebounding and certain matchups. I think EE might be pretty effective against Hammonds for example and may get more PT in the Purdue game. In games where Buggs is "on" then that should take minutes from King more than from Morris in my opinion. Morris belongs on the court for 30 minutes.

My assumption that Buggs was getting some minutes at the 4 and some minutes at the 3 in his breakdown. In some instances I feel like we may see lineups of Morris, Math, Mason and Hollins with EE playing a 1/3/1 falling back to a 2-3 with Morris and Hollins on the wings. In other instances I wouldn't mind seeing EE, Mo, Math, Mason, Hollins/Morris.

It's gonna be a gong show, and completely different than we are used to seeing as we just do not have the depth or the intelligence to have 10 people playing in most games. If UL can play 7/8 guys a game, so can we.
 

Very close to the original post, but I love Mason's play so far both offensively and defensively...I'd go with:

Mathieu: 32
Hollins: 30
Morris: 26
King: 28
Walker: 28

Mason: 30
Buggs: 14
Eliason: 12
 


Dre 35
DeAndre 35
King 28
Morris 28
Mason 26
EE 20
Walker 20
Buggs 4
Others 4

Might* consider trying the Twin Towers in certain, rare circumstances
 

Dre 31
DeAndre 31
Morris 29
King 26
Mason 26
Walker 21
EE 16
Buggs 12
Konate 5
Others 3
 

Dre 35 - Too High
DeAndre 35 - Too High
King 28
Morris 28 - A Tad Low
Mason 26
EE 20 - Too High
Walker 20 - Too Low
Buggs 4 - Too Low
Others 4
