George maybe, but
it's highly unlikely Baxter will ever be an effective 3-point shooter. He has his strong points for sure, just not at the 3-point line.

So our guards are Barcello, Harding, Knell, Wade, George, Johnson, and Erickson.

I'm not sure George is really a guard

He’s definitely not a guard from what I have seen

With Haarms, Hardward, Lowell, and Lee, how much PT is really available for

He'll play the 3, but probably never the 2.
No touching

Perhaps I should have said perimeter player or wing instead of guard then.

Some suggest to think of it as 3 positions: ball handlers, wings, rim protectors

I'd like a ball-handling PG. Liked Barcello much more at the 2 last year.

I agree with this although Knell could slide in for Wade or Johnson

I don’t think anybody expects him to shoot a ton of threes, just wide open ones

yep, if the bigs want more playing time they will need to be able to hit the 3..

4 certain starters, IMO: Harward, Barcello, Harding, Haarms. Lots of candidates

How is he going to play with Haarms? Can he move well enough to do that?

Harward is strictly a low post banger. Haarms would fill the 4 if paired with..

With 40 minutes at the center position, if they each play 25, that's only 10

It would only be 5 minutes. Each gets 20 at C. Then play together for 5

5 to 8 minutes per game off the bench would be about right.

"True PGs" seem to be dying anyway so it's not a big deal
Lip Gallagher

Erickson will contribute at the 2. He is a versatile scorer, and plus defender

I'm not so sure we'll see Harding running the point. Connor reminds me...

Basketball walk ons rarely do anything. It's not like football. Just saying.

Johnson is not a sleeper for the 8-man rotation

Let's not pretend there are any guarantees about anything.

The only thing near guarantee level is Barcello will play a lot
