....and I don't think Wagner at the 4 is going to be a thing. He'll play as many minutes as his foul totals allow him to play....and those other minutes at the 5 will go to Davis or Teske.
So....that's leaves the 4 position. If Matthews can play it for significant stretches then I suppose we'd be talking about the 3 position. But wherever Matthews plays he'll play 30+ minutes, and I think the guards will, too.
So the main question is who and where Duncan can guard. And if he can be "hidden" against certain teams and certain matchups, I think you'll see him get a good chunk of minutes.
So....Livers. He better be able to give them 12-16 minutes at the 4 spot....he's Mr. Basketball. When's the last time we had a freshman come in and surprise us with how ready he was?
Burke? Stauskas?
(McGary was highly rated and should have been ready.)
But it's been a while since a freshman came in and people were surprised at how ready he was to contribute. Let's have that be Livers.
