Just trolling for thoughts here. Topic

Mainly because I find other people's philosophies on this sort of thing very interesting to read.  Often completely different.

My Depth Chart , at least in my mind, is:

PG: Davis/Cox/Sechrist
SG: Franklin/Cox/Sechrist
SF: Newman/Poche/Sechrist
PF: Ferrell/Newman/Randle/Crocker
C : Bell/Randle/Crocker

With Franklin, Ferrell and Davis as the main offensive targets; Second tier being Newman and Poche, possibly Crocker(Because whatever his faults, he does have a respectable LP/PER combo and can score a bit)

Don't be afraid to use your Freshmen, They can contribute and it helps them grow. Here is the depth chart lineup I would use. Note: I don't like leaving blanks on the chart. Fill all the spots and don't let the engine decide for you.

PG - Davis/Fontenot/Franklin/Poche
SG - Franklin/Cox/Davis/Sechrist
SF - Newman/Poche/Crocker/Cox
PF - Ferrell/Newman/Bell/Fontaine
C  - Bell/Fontaine/Ferrell/Newman

Well, main reason I wasn't using Fontaine and Fontenot yet is that I thought that they were more like project players.  Some good potential, but they didn't seem anywhere near ready yet.  I was aiming at a third player that a DII took from me at the last moment and they were my fallback position.  

Fontaine is: 
athleticism: big upside
low post moves: big upside
perimeter shooting: big upside
rebounding: big upside
shot blocking: big upside
ft shooting: big upside

And no low upside areas.


Fontenot is:

athleticism: limited upside
ball handling: big upside
durability: limited upside
low post moves: limited upside
passing: limited upside
perimeter shooting: big upside
rebounding: limited upside
speed: big upside
stamina: big upside
ft shooting: big upside

And I realize their defense sucks.  I will be concentrating on more defensive players next time around.  ALthough I hope fontaine's BLK rating, with a high potential, will help mitigate his.

What makes you think of Cox at SF?  TO me he doesn't seem to have the offensive skills I tend to like my sf's to have.  He can't really shoot or score down low.

Good ATH, SPD, BH, Pass for a SF.  Decent Defense.  He should not have many Turnovers and set up other guys.  Should be able to beat slower guys and score a bit too.
