I just don’t see Smith being able to play the 3 unless his skills have drastically improved. He’s a bulkier Troy Williams. I hope I’m wrong and he dominates from the 3 but last season Justin Smith wasn’t there yet.

See that’s why I wonder if we don’t see either Hunter or Al as a starter

His handles at the 3 would scare me badly in long stretches. I could see a scenario where Archie eases JH into the starting lineup. Maybe start him out with 15-20 minutes to see how his body reacts. I just see us going big more often than not 3-5. The one thing that scares me though will still be our 3 pt defense.

Phinisee, Green, Al, Smith, Brunk are the starters I see IU starting the season with.

who will spill phinisee when he needs a breather if all of the ball handlers are starting?

I don't think it's strange for him to say 4-6. Gives himself flexibility and prevents media/fans from pinning him down to "well you said specifically 4 on x date." Who knows what will happen in the spring. He's not signing 6 recruits by fall that's for sure.

If we add 4 to 6 in 2020 and then do something similar with the very good class in 2021, how do we possibly "get old and stay old"?. That would mean a lot of roster turnover and continually counting on young kids to play major minutes. Is this a change of direction for CAM?

I would imagine we won’t sign more than 4. Unless they are 1 and done talents

I may be wrong, but I thought the question was through the 20-21 season. I may be wrong. Too lazy to look.

Edit I went ahead and looked.

IU's Archie Miller on the number of players he could bring in for 2020-21: "Four to six more players . That’s the way college basketball goes now. It’s a revolving door, good or bad." #iubb

Brunk instead of Davis?

That is my thought too. To start the season I'm guessing Rob, Green, Al, Smith & Davis. I do not expect that to be the same by Jan. 

By then I'm HOPING it's more like: Rob, Green, Hunter, TJD & Davis/Brunk (Neither is going to play much more than 20mins, so kinda interchangeable.)

Or grad transfers- you mentioned once (and I agree) a Grad PG for this class would be a nice fit.
