Texas State, the season opener is happening in 5 days.
Here is how I see the line up, bench, etc.
1. Powell, Dylan
2. Bamba/Jabe Mullins/Dylan
3. DJ Rodman or Jaki Start if Jaki doesn't start at the 4 spot. If Jaki starts at 4 spot, then Jabe Mullins might start, co start if DJ doesn't start AND COMBINED with if Jaki doesn't start at the 4 spot. So DJ/Jaki/Jabe/Rosario(come of bench behind DJ IF Jabe backs up Bamba at 2, AND if Jaki either starts or backs up at the 4).
4. Jaki or Diongue/Crespin
5. Gueye/Diongue or Crespin depending on whether Diongue starts at 4 or not.
I see, think DJ at the 3, and Jaki at the 4, will start at least temporarily, if not semi permanent, at the beginning of the season, UNTIL IF Jabe is ready to start at 3, and if Diongue is ready to start at 4 spot.
Also I see the following situational line ups.
BIG LINE UP: 1. POWELL 2. Bamba 3. Jaki 4. Diongue 5. Gueye.
SMALL/FAST: 1. Dylan 2. Bamba 3. Point 3 spot: Powell 4. 6-8.5 Jaki or 6-7 DJ Rodman. 5. Gueye.
SHOOTING/3's: 1. Powell 2. Bamba 3. DJ/Jabe 4. Jaki 5. Gueye.
Defense over shooting: 1. Jabe(Powell is not a great defender, Jabe is a better defender) 2. Bamba. 3. DJ 4. Diongue 5. Gueye.
Prediction: WSU 79 to Texas State 68
Texas State is comparable to UNLV, SDSU, etc, in that that they are a tougher Noncon game, and a semi solid to solid team. WSU can lose to them, and I think their is about a 23% chance WSU loses, but only because WSU has to play together, chemistry, etc.
WSU is the better team, has better talent, skills, coaching, etc, but if the players don't ABSOLUTELY BRING IT, they can lose, and if they don't pass well, don't play together, have a bad shooting night, etc, they can lose.
Assuming WSU wins, they probably win by about 10,11 at most,
If WSU either wins by less then 7,8,9, and especially if win by less then 3, an or if WSU loses, WSU might struggle more in beginning of season, until they Jell, learn how to finish, win.
