My game plan
I would start Nick (PG), Chase (2), Kyle (3), KD (4), Kaufusi (5)
Put Corbin on the block and KD at the free throw line and run a high low offense. Run the offense through them and wait for a good shot in the paint. If they play us straight up, then keep pounding it inside. Our shooting percentage in the paint combined with our defensive shooting percentage would give us a great chance to win.
I would play Kyle on the opposite block to put him in an advantageous place for offside rebounds. We could also reverse it and get him the ball on the block; he is great with his back to the basket. He would have either a height advantage or quickness advantage or both over anyone guarding him. If they provide help defense, Kyle and KD are good interior passers. Eventually this is going to provide open three looks.
If Chase is good offensively (shooting/driving), he stays in. If not, rotate Toolson, Seljas, and Hartsock to see who has the hot hand.
I would sub Chapman for Nick at point but also would consider him for the two spot rotation if he is hitting his shot.
Bring Eightes in as part of the three man rotation. I like him on the free throw line as part of the high low. He can go to the hoop but also has a nice mid range touch around the basket. Nate would take someone's spot in the rotation if they got into foul trouble.
Continue to push and look for early offensive but to be very selective. Late in the shot clock offense could be either a Kyle one on one drive or kick out, or KD drive and score or kick out, or a Aytes drive score or kick out or a Nick drive/kick out. We have lots of people who can create their own shot or opportunity for someone else.
Defensively, I like Corbin on off the ball defense. He can alter and block shots on the other interior player's man without getting to close to get a foul. When he is playing straight up defense, it is easy to get him off his feat and get him in foul trouble.

Basically, on offense, rely on high percentage shots inside with good offensive board rebounding position with an occasional kick out for a good look three. Defense, just keep doing our new strategy seems to be working great. Will be interesting to see how we do defensively when we play better teams.
