Davidson is losing players who played 2,610 of the total 6,500 minutes played this past season. Here’s the breakdown by player:

- Huffman: 1,088 minutes (34.0 mpg)
- Brizzi: 592 (18.5)
- Skogman 424 minutes in 17 games, which would have been 798 across 32 games at the same mpg (24.9)
- Spadone: 323 (10.4)
- Moss: 104 (6.1)
- Schulte: 79 (6.1)

I’d bet Laput and Hurlburt are hoping/expecting to get about 800–900 minutes each (Davidson’s starting guards generally get more minutes than starting bigs, but Huffman played a lot even for a guard). Assuming returning players earn at least the number of minutes they played last season, that leaves about 800–1,000 minutes for everyone else: returning players, first-year recruits, and any additional transfers or first-year players.

You expect those two to start?

You expect those two to start?

I expect that they expect to start or play starters’ minutes. Like Brizzi and Moss did.

[i77cat]

You think Moss expected to start or play starter's minutes?

I hope they both start. I hope that all of our new guys start and play 30 mpg. That would mean that they are better than our returners. But that isn't what I expect. I expect Kochera and Bailey to lead us in mpg. I expect Logan to start and Adam to get many minutes off the bench.

My thoughts:

5/15
Laput
Connor
Bailey
Logan

Ides of May must be fierce.

Ides is coming back?

If 5/15 and Laput wind up being good enough guards to start for us and move Durkin back to the bench that would be a very exciting/good transfer portal for us.

Or someone knows something about Durkin that we don't know.

[catnhat]

Stop w the negative thinking (or at least don’t spread it). 🥺

[i77cat]

Holy crap. My bad. Totally forgot about Bobby Durkin. I also expect Durkin to start and rival Kochera and Bailey for mpg. Gotta see Laput live to believe it. The video I've seen wasn't impressive.

Just based on who I saw play last year: Even though Kochera excels off the ball.

No way Connor plays the point.

Of our returners, the most likely PG is Ricky.

Interesting. You must have seen him in practices. I don’t recall seeing him enough in games to have a hint of where you are coming from.
