Right now I think it's safe to say Kentucky's 4 best players are Malachi, Milan, Mason Williams, and Alex Wilkins. I see a lot of potential in Ousmane but what if he keeps shooting threes like he did the last two exhibitions(2/15 I think)? We can't afford to have him work out the shooting in tight games and it doesn't look like Hawthorne or McBride are ready for big minutes and Kam Williams probably won't be back until late November and he'll be rusty. While most of us probably think Williams is better than Zoom we still need Zoom and benching him might hurt his confidence.
So...I think I'd go with this lineup to start the year:
PG-Williams
SG-Wilkins
SF-Diallo
PF-Momcilovic
C-Moreno
I never wanted Mom to play the four, primarily because of defense, but I think we'd be good enough defensively at the 1-3 to make that our best lineup for now. Diallo really looks more like a forward with a decent handle anyway more than a point guard. As a forward he could beat a lot of them off the dribble and if most of his in game threes(and practice threes) were from the corner on catch and shoot I think he'd shoot decently from 3 point range and be a decent forward defender.
