Is Jon Rothstein correct in his prediction of Kentucky basketball's starting lineup?

Summer practice for the Kentucky basketball team is fully underway, and fans are starting to hear about which players are turning heads at camp. A lot of good r

Works for me.

 

[kygrandpa]

I would take that line up any day... Or with Williams also...

GBB

 

[Buckwheat Otay Is Dead]

probably not

 

[CashM03]

I say it will be once JQ is healthy. Garrison probably at first

 

[Shepp15]

I agree with this. Could change throughout the season as well but this is a deep team. Good problem to have.

 

[HookshotHagan]

I would bet Jasper Johnson challenges for a starting spot at some point during the season.

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

I like the prediction once JQ is healthy, I think JJ will challenge for a spot as well. He will play a lot regardless.

 

[John Henry]

I am praying for a 100% healing of JQ. Having him in top form from the start would be short of a miracle. I like the rest of the starting lineup. Don't sleep on Aberdeen.

 

[HagginHall1999]

That is the 5 I've penciled in...of course it depends on JQ health.

My hot take is it is more likely Chandler is a starter than JJ. People are sleeping on that kid...he is going to be legit.

 

[True_blue1]

All depends if JQ is healthy.

PG: Lowe
SG: Aberdeen
SF: Oweh
PF: Dioubate
C: Garrison early, JQ later

The article linked talks about Aberdeen as the backup PG. I think Aberdeen starts at SG and plays some PG when Lowe goes out.

I think Jasper is your instant offense off the bench guy.

I think the article is on point, but it wouldn't surprise me if any of Johnson, Williams, Garrison and Chandler Crack the lineup

 

[The A-Team]

It is a good starting 5. He alluded to their being smoke around Williams as a starter, Aberdeen backup point. I can see the case for Williams as a 3 & D player to space the floor with his perimeter shooting.

 

[WallMash]

That's my starting prediction with maybe Garrison starting early in season over Q. Pope does sub a lot but he does lock in a starting five and doesn't mess with that foundation on a whim. Questions are: can Cam, Johnson, big man from Europe, play like superstars many say they are by coming off the bench.

 

[kyfanrob]

I think with everyone healthy; Pope will have a lot of different lineups. He has a very nice problem (lots of talent and potential).

 

[UKWildcats1987]

Seems as likely as any. We know oweh and lowe are starting 100% IMO. There could be any number of combos around them.
