Loved his comment on who he picks to shoot free throw at end of practice

Not sure to read anything in to the comment about Shaq Carter at the end. We have a lot of bodies there. I may be wrong about him getting starters minutes at least at the outset

He raves about Myles and Doorson, and he's hardly said anything about Doucoure, but he's alternately praised Carter and said he needs to figure it out.

But he also made a comment the other day about motivating each player differently because each is a different person. So I'm not sure how much we can read into anything.

Theres probably no more than 60 minutes max at the 4 & 5 for those 4 guys anyway with Omoruyi getting at least 20 if not more at those spots (does he play any 3?).

I also think people may underestimate how much he wants to play Doorson, and given 20 B1G games plus SJU/SHU/Miami, I think there will be less games where it's obvious Doorson is inappropriate

I doubt he starts. He's full of energy and works hard like Pikiell said though. Pretty spot on. He's a good addition. Vocal.

I am guessing 65 total minutes for all bigs including Eugene on average (matchup dependent)
