[QUOTE="NV Illini, post: 1546163, member: 747120"] If games start in the fall, I think the very first starting lineup will be Frazier, Ayo, Miller, DMFW and Kofi I think Miller will still not be done getting up to snuff physically, nor fully ready for the B1G quickness, etc. but he will have enough to start on day 1, because his competition isn't better than him, even at that point. I also think he will be leaps and bounds better by midseason. I think Curbelo is in the same situation as Miller, except at the beginning of the season, he won't be as ready for B1G play as Frazier. I suspect that will change as the season progresses. I expect BU to give Curbelo gradually increasing minutes to make that a reality. I think DMFW starts at the 4 because he is rock solid on D, and if his 3's keep falling like they did in the last few games last year, he will solidify his time there. If games start in spring, Curbelo may have a shot at starting over Frazier, assuming the team practices continuously and intensely from Aug to Feb. [/QUOTE]
