The starting 5 will be....
• Mannion
• Williams
• Green
• Nnaji
• Jeter
The two guard/wing rotation players will be....
• Hazzard
• Smith
The two frontcourt rotation players will be....
• Lee
• Gettings
That's most likely going to be the main core that receive more than 10mins a game and meaningful non throwaway playing time. Jeter/Nnaji won't get more than 30 mins per so frontcourt depth will be important which means both Gettings/Lee will get plenty of minutes. Hazzard isn't grad transferring not to play meaningful minutes, Smith will play because of his rebounding and defense being in year 3 under Miller.
Hazzard and one out of Gettings/Lee will win out to play the most minutes and make the core 7 man rotation that Miller trusts the most in close games. Smith would most likely be the 8th man, unfortunately.

Interesting that you're so confident in Lee. Feel like he's been decent not great so far.

I like Lee a lot.
First, he plays his ass off. When he doesn't get down on himself, he is our most energetic and positive player.
Second, you could see the light going on in his soph year. As a freshman, he would get killed on positioning. He also got his shot blocked a lot. You saw him figuring out positioning and how to finish as a soph.
Next is a consistent faceup J. I can see it coming.
When he puts those pieces together, we get an aggressive jolt of energy who's maturing as a player. I've seen Longhorned's video of the horse. I love guys like that.

I need Ira to become a DeJaun Blair or Draymond Green type player at 6'7 - and being closer to 6'6 than 6'8.

Those are some very sexy names you're throwing out.

I'm not sure he'll ever be as strong as those guys. I see him as more of a poor man's Dennis Rodman.

I can definitely be okay with a poor man's Rodman.
I like Lee too. Maybe he can find his role as an energy guy -- boards, defense and hustle plays -- while others are relied upon for scoring. Does he have any Bennet Davison in his game? Maybe?
