OK, Larry. I have to ask you this, even before the team has ever practiced together and hopefully you'll give us more insight after you've seen some practices), but what 5 do YOU like to start for UK this season ? I have to tell you that I like Tubby looking at Randolph at the 4, with Jared at the 5. The big thing with Morris and Carter is stay out of foul trouble, and particularly with Jared is build up your endurance. I'm also going to say something else. Personally, without ever having seen either one of them play, I think either Jodie Meeks or Derrick Jasper (or both) have to start somewhere. I lean toward Jasper starting at the point because of his size and his natural passing ability, with Bradley going at the 2. Unless Crawford can show consistency this year, he comes off the bench (in my world).

Here's my starting 5:
Derrick Jasper PG Ramel Bradley PG
Ramel Bradley 2G Jodie Meeks 2G
Bobby Perry SF Bobby Perry SF
Randolph Morris PF Randolph Morris PF
Jared Carter C or possibly Jared Carter C
I also like hearing that Stevenson has added some weight and strength. He could end up being very important to this team's success. Jack L. Johnson, Big Blue Fan since '65, and Forevermore
Larry: Great question, Jack, on the starting lineup. I don't see Tubby going with Carter and Morris together to start the year. Could be wrong. I think it could be Bradley, Jasper, Crawford, Perry and Morris. But who knows until we see them play. If Carter and Morris can avoid fouls and play defense, then having them together could be huge.
