PG- Butler/Turner
SG- Butler/Turner
SF- Lighty
PF- Kosta
C- Hunter
I think Twig will back up C and Dallas and Madsen will fill in where needed.
Diebler is the first wing off the bench, and Wallace will come in and play SF/PF. I think that's everyone...

I agree with most everything you have posted but think that Madsen will be more a very contributor than people think. You will help both at the PF and C positions. Let's remember that he went against Oden every practice last year so I think he will contribute at the C position as well as PF. |

I don't know. I can't say anything about Madsen until I see him in a game. Even with the freshmen, I've at least seen highlight tapes(Turner, Wallace, and Dallas) or I've seen them in person(Diebler and Kosta). Madsen is a complete unknown to me. I've never seen him in a game situation. I'm thinking Madsen will be the primary back up for Kosta and that Dallas will be the utility C/PF reserve, kind of like Hunter was for parts of last year.

Very deep roster this season for sure. I think Lighty might even see some time at the 2 gaurd with Butler at point, Diebler 3, and a combination of Hunter, Kosta, Dallas and Madsen underneath. I look for Hunter to be first team all Big10 this season.

I wish I was that optimistic. There are only 10 scholarship players and Lauderdale, Madsen and Wallace are still suspect, plus Twigs is a role player that doesn't fit in with Matta's style of play. Do you also think Hunter will average 15-20 points per game, because I think he will need that to be 1st team all-Big10. |

I really don't see how you can call three of these guys "suspect". Granted two of them are freshmen but if you have watched any video on Wallace he has tremendous upside. Lauderdale is a little raw but I don't think TM is expecting big things out of him this year likewise with Wallace he has tremendous upside and will be a role player seeing limited times this year.
The one guy who I strongly disagree with you about being "suspect" is Madsen. This will be his third year in college and he went against Oden in practice all last year. He does not have tremendous athletic ability but is a smart ballplayer with good skills and a nice shout out to 18'.

Wallace is not an unknown to baskeball people......he will make an immediate impact next year....mark it down. |
