	I think who starts will depend on who shows up to training camp in good shape, hustles and shows Coach K that they can be consistent. I think the starting lineup is going to look like this: PG- Paulus (Although at this point, I would pick Nolan Smith!) SG- Scheyer (I do think Coach K is going to play Williams a lot though) SF- Henderson PF- Singler C- Thomas (with rotation of McClure and Zoubek) I'm hoping after this years experience, Coach K will learn to lengthen his bench for an ENTIRE season, not just the first half! We all saw how tired these guys were at the end of the year and their performance suffered as a result. Duke will have the talent to go 9-10 deep, but unless Coach K changes his philosophies on rotating players, we will end up suffering the same demise as this year. Pocius and this Olek kid should get a decent amount of time. Hopefully we'll have better results next year!! I still think Zoubek should have his scholarship revoked!!!

	I agree with you BlueDevilFan22 on your starting lineup. Thomas and Zoubek will compete for the 5th starter spot. Henderson and Singler are sure Starters Paulus will start but rotate with Smith alot Scheyer and Williams will compete for that spot but Scheyer will get it. Williams will get alot of playing time. The "sixth man" will be either Smith or Williams.

	It doesn't matter who starts next year. Not until Duke brings in a quality big man will Duke have a chance at any title. Right now Duke has NOTHING at the 5 spot. Thomas is an underachiever who has the uncanny knack of making stupid plays at the most unopportune time of the game. Plus count how much time he spends on the floor FROM FALLING DOWN. This guy is terrible, and has no offensive game. Zoubek is another stiff, who can't block shots or dunk for a 7'1" center. Embarrassing. No hope for next year either since not one recruit they brought in is bigger than 6'7". You can't win a championship living on the 3 pt line. You have to have big men help.

	My opinion is that Williams will see alot of playing time if he adapts to the college game.. "as we all know he should" I think coach K will continue to keep good ole' johnny as the sixth man.. Which I don't like.. PG: Paulus SG: Williams SF: Henderson PF: Singler C: Thomas I think nolan smith with get a lot of playing time this year... And the addition of Plumlee and Olek will take a little foul pressure off of thomas/zoubek/singler.. We should have an excellent regular season.. Im not worried about that .. Im worried about the Tourney! VEGAS ODDS HAS DUKE & NORTH CAROLINA as the 2 favorites by "odds" to win the Tourney!!! That is crazy..
