I think yall are seriously underestimating Mashack. He is tremendous on defense and looked more and more comfortable with the ball in his hands as the season moved along. Another offseason of improvement and he is likely one of the two or three best players on this team.
Watched all of his highlights. The people they played predominantly looked pedestrian at best.
Probably Ledlum. I'm sure Knecht will play some 4 (almost out of necessity), but he's more of a 3. Knecht is listed at 197 pounds, which to be fair about what Phillips was listed at. Phillips was certainly overpowered at times at the 4. Knecht was actually a rea;;y solid rebounder (though in a weaker conference). His rebounding rate would have been higher than Nkamhoa, Phillips, and JJJ. We'll have to see how that translates.Who starts at the 4? Knecht or Ledlum?
I am going to go out on a limb and say it's possible Knecht plays more 2 this season that he does 4. I don't see him as our close as a small ball 4. Mashack much more likely to play the 4 position.Probably Ledlum. I'm sure Knecht will play some 4 (almost out of necessity), but he's more of a 3.

Given how deep we are at guard, I would probably like to see those two take most of the minutes at the 4. Allows more minutes for Mashack, Dilione, Jefferson, and Carr, with Santi and ZZ taking up a considerable amount of minutes as well. I suppose it'll also depend on how well Estrella adjusts and where Awaka will play as well.
