My vote goes to Bullock.I think he will get loads of minutes to shine at the 2,3 and 4 slots.The fact he has been on campus for a year and practiced during that time will help him.He plays both ends ,can score in many ways and is an energy guy defensively and on the boards.
The great news is we have a lot of great new talent on campus [Bentil,Lindsey, Chukwu ,Cartwright---I am not counting Junior in this since he has already played D1 ball] and arguments could be made as to any of them being the Rookie star.
Please share your views.

I like the Bullock pick, but I am actually going with Jalen Lindsey. He will see a fair amount of time at the 2 and I think really provide that extra punch from the outside and defensive reach on the perimeter being that he is 6-7. I feel like Lindsey has been overlooked since committing back in July 2013 when he was ranked 32nd on the ESPN Top 100 and then quickly slid because he picked Providence.
Lindsey is going to be a stable front and with Cooley likely to work Dunn in and allow Lomomba and Cartwright time at the 1, that will open up the playing time and scoring for Lindsey. But I think the offensive production of the trio of Bentil, Bullock and Lindsey are as important to this team's success as anything we discuss.

But I think the offensive production of the trio of Bentil, Bullock and Lindsey are as important to this team's success as anything we discuss. I don't buy this. It sounds silly. Why would anyone slip in ratings based on the school they chose? By this logic wouldn't Ben Simmons be slipping because he chose LSU over Kentucky/UNC/Duke etc? Lindsey slipped down the rankings because he went from CPA where he dominated the lesser competition and was dunking on people left and right to Huntington where he was on a team full of top 100 kids playing against teams of other top 100 kids. Good for his overall development, probably, but he was no longer "the guy" on his team and therefore wasn't taking as many shots, wasn't as aggressive, and didn't get as much PT. The role of slasher at HP was filled pretty well by Gill-Caesar and Bridges and Thomas Bryant was their interior guy, so that slotted Jalen into a 3s and D type situation, which he excelled at because hes a solid player. We'll see what role Ed and Co. put him into at PC. I think he'll excel regardless of what it is.

Have not seen any of the new players in action, (except Chukwu very briefly), so I cannot say at this point.

I'll go with Chukwu. Should be 15+ minutes a game available at the center position and he can provide an imposing presence. And I like playing loooonnnnng-shots!

I have not seen any of these guys in action, but I would put my $ on Bullock because of that extra year he spent practicing against BE competition.
