I expect 3 of them to start, and likely lead the team in minutes played.

Diarra is probably the best player on the team, he's an off-guard that was forced into playing the point at KSU. When he plays off-ball he's a knock-down shooter and gets to the basket AND finishes (Bede only does the former) at will. He's going to be the engine that takes this offense from good to great. This is why I think Cattoor initiates the offense this year, to allow Diarra to work his magic.

Mutts is a beast, and from I've heard may surprise people from beyond the arc. Delaware planted him in the paint and he was a double double machine. For us he has the ability to be a legit wing if used correctly, good defender with the obvious want-to on the boards.

Aluma knows the system and is well trusted, Pemsl has a legit low-post scoring game and was overshadowed by an All-American the last few years. One of them will likely be on the floor at all times because of their size, physicality, screening ability, and low post presence.

The best part about them is 3 out of 4 bring postseason experience, including major minutes in Sweet 16 games. They have the experience and more importantly the mindsets to do what it takes to win ballgames.
