Have we determined that WW is better than / deserves to start over Keita? Next year may witness several ‘starting’ lineups, one a 3-guard setup, with Ponds, Simon, and Dixon—backed by Trimble(?), and Williams; the other a traditional lineup of 2 guards, Clark, Owens (?!!?), Keita—backed by Roberts, Diakite, another big(?).
My take fwiw is we don't need to get too concerned at this point about who starts next year. It is more critical that we get a big man, whether through grad transfer or JUCO option, who has a low post game, can rebound and give us significant minutes. While I expect both Owens and Keita to get plenty of minutes at 4/5, not sure either of them will give us much of a low post offense which we need. From reading posts of others far more knowledgeable than I on the newcomers, seems like next year should be a learning year for Roberts and Marcellus. I would hope that we have a core rotation of Ponds, Simon, Clark, Dixon, Owens, Keita, the to be identified big man whether WW or someone else, with either Williams or Trimble serving as 4th guard. It will be great to finally have some depth. Of course all this can change if not everyone returns.
