Paul Klee on Saturday Morning Sportsline

Starters: McCamey, Richardson, Richmond, Davis and Tisdale. Biggest battle will be for reserve minutes. Despite talk of a deeper rotation, we will probably rotate 8-8.5 guys. So a couple of guys will be shut out of minutes, and someone may leave. This happens with good programs.

Tate: Griffey will get time (~10 min/gm) because Davis can't play 40 minutes and we don't have other options at the four. (Klee seemed to agree.)

Leonard has a great situation in playing under Tisdale. Tisdale has been pushing Leonard, not vice versa. Tisdale is WAY ahead of Leonard right now, even though Leonard has a chance to eventually be great.
