The below is for the time frame that Hopkins and Barron will not be playing.
As opposed to “who will start” (which can depend on matchups,who is hot/playing well in practice,etc.),I will share my thoughts and seek yours on an 8 man rotation.
Pierre and Joseph as primary ball handlers (will play together a lot). Christ and one of Bonke or Oswin ,with Oswin possibly getting some 4 minutes. Jabri. Cardet (might be our best player). Corey and Fernandez.
Leaves Mela,big guy L for lesser roles.
When Hoppy and Barron are ready—-Yikes😎

Picking 8 is tough
Pierre Joseph Cardet Hop Christ
JAR Oswin Fernandez
Have to think Barron will play too and they’ll give Floyd an opportunity

I suppose the cream rises to the top eventually and Kim figures this out.
Floyd will get plenty of minutes in the guard rotation and Barron definitely gets a chance to prove he can contribute.
For the moment it seems impossible to not pi$$ some kids off.
Bryce or no Bryce, I hope we can win some in the Atlantis thing so we build the resume sooner rather than chasing it later.

Gonna be tough to keep ten guys happy,never mind 13. But that is why Kim gets paid the big bucks.

I think this is the nine man rotation to start the year. Hopefully Hopkins is back soon after.
Starters - Pierre, Joseph, Cardet, JAR, Essandoko Bench - Floyd, Barron, Fernandez, Oswin

Once again, do not short Mela. He is better than most think.

I think Fernandez is a player from day 1.
I think Barron might be the odd man out for minutes when the dust settles. I like his shot, but he doesn't rebound or defend well.

I agree gents re Fernandez
When he sheds, and he may already have, any tentativeness about the knee he will be a solid rotation guy And I predict a budding star.
Do Not doubt me, afterall I am an astute fan.

I must be maturing because "astute" is low-hanging fruit that I just walked on by...

Dont short sell Floyd. Hes one great rebounder for a guard and if he improves his shot the skies the limit.
