.....Orig...............Big.................Small
PG Davis.....PG O'Connell....PG O'Connell
W Wills........F Jones..............W Davis
F Jones........F Delaire...........W Wills
F Williams...F da Silva..........F Williams
F da Silva....F Kisunas..........F da Silva
I used to assume our starting five is set, now it seems as if the core big three might be O'Connell, Williams and da Silva. Between Davis, Wills, Jones and Delaire -- perhaps even Kisunas and Taitz, the rotation can go bigger or smaller, more defense or more offense, more shooters or more slashers, etc. Suddenly the staff has a lot of moving parts to work with rather than just spot substitutions with Delaire, Keefe or Taitz
Once healthy, Wills has to be a starter no matter who we're playing. He is long enough to guard people taller than him.
