2009 possible starting 5:
PG-Al Nolen
G-Lawrence Westbrook
F-Trevor Mbakwe
F-Royce White
F-Damian Johnson
No one on the list above stands taller than 6-7, but Mbakwe is a beast and we all know Johnson can rebound with the best of them in the Big Ten. Which one of the forwards do you exclude from the starting line-up though???
This scenario also puts Sampson III and Iverson on the bench right away. I'm not sure this is a good thing. Minnesota might have too much depth next season. You would hate to see a player's development get deterred because Tubby simply can't find time for him on the court
