No question: Mbakwe MUST start

[ShowinGoldyLove]

I think it's pretty obvious to anyone that saw Mbakwe single-handedly destroy anyone that came near him tonight, he needs to be on the floor from Day 1. His physicality on the boards, aggressiveness on offense; he's going to be one of our most important players from the first tip.

I knew he was good, but my Lord!

How did Chip look

According to the tweets I was reading, both him and Hollins really impressed.

I thought Chip and Austin look like the newcomers most ready to contribute. Chip has a scoring mentality and likes to get to the rim. Austin isn't flashy, but was more athletic than I expected and has a solid handle in the open floor. He tied Mbakwe in the slam dunk contest.

Trevor is obviously going to be pretty beastly, but most of us already knew that. Staying out of foul trouble will be key for him, as he's an extremely physical player. Devoe is going to be the leader on offense and it seems pretty clear to me that he should be starting at the point. Both Walker and Eliason had a few nice plays but have a ways to go before they'll be competing for major minutes inside.
