I love the upside of Rey and I believe he will get a lot of playing time. I just don't see him starting over Fisher yet. Both of those guys play the 5 spot so unless Muller ditches the idea of a stretch 4 then I don't see them on the court at the same time. Now at the 4 spot I could see Bruniga starting but his injury puts that up in the air. Because of that I see N’Daiye getting the nod but Taylor could unseat him. Hillsman could start at the 4 but I wonder if his experience and ability to play the 2-4 spots wouldn't make him more valuable off the bench. Boyd is the wildcard for me. He has the size and is very talented. How quickly he adjusts to not being the guy that has to shoot to make the team go is the key. I think N’Daiye holds the key though for this season. He is talented but it all depends on if that talent translates to game action and if he can avoid the first year playing wall. Muller indicated that he hit the freshman wall last year during practices.
With all of this we couldn't have asked for a better year for an overseas trip. Here is hoping this team gels and embraces the underdog role they are going to have going into this season.
