Your 2015-16 MVC rotation

[Aargh]

This is really tricky for WSU with so many options at the 4 and 5 spots, but there are some clues emerging.

Strength and conditioning is reporting that they're working with Wessel to get a little leaner and work on agility as he prepares to play on the perimeter.

That leaves the starting PF up in the air. Zach Brown had a great NCAA tourney and may have the inside track there. Rashard Kelly has worked on his ups and is stronger. He's also spent a lot of summer working on his outside shot. it's reported he's getting up higher and is more of an offensive threat. Shaq Morris has hit weights two-a-day all summer and had a knee repaired.

A lot depends on how the center position shakes out. Morris may be the first bench option there. Wamukota is reportedly making lots of progress in all aspects and has improved his leaping ability. Rauno Nurger lost over 20 pounds due to a mid-season illness last year. He's hit the weights and redistributed some body weight (lower body was behind upper body). Last year Nurger looked REALLY good in pickup games, but struggled some with physical play in game situations.

Starters:
VanVleet
Baker
Wessel
Morris
Grady

Bench:
Frankamp
Brown

That's going with the small lineup option. The big lineup would look a little different.

I'll throw out a guess for ISU,

Pg: Paris Lee
Sg: Justin McCloud
Sf: Devaughn Akoon-Purcell
Pf: Teddy Hawkins
C: Nick Banyard

Mikyle McIntosh and David Ndiaye first off bench by start of MVC play

I think you are correct on the starters. I don't like McCloud being a starter but opening tip he probably will be. McIntosh will be the 6th & might start by MVC play. I think Quentin Brewer sees more time inside this season than Ndiaye, though. Wills & Evans both could come up big from the bench, as well.

I like McCloud if it's the same guy shooting from the MVC tourney, really spreads the floor. Between Banyard, Brewer, and Ndiaye I think they will all get pretty good minutes. Banyard and Brewer can play the 4 or 5 especially Banyard so there will be lots of combinations at Muller's disposal. Evans and Tony will get pretty good minutes too your right.
