How do they even try and predict the bracket at this point? I get it, it's fun and it gets "clicks." Truth is no one can predict player development, freshman contributions, how redshirt players do their first year, injuries, etc.
The one thing I do know is our lineup as of today is Caupain, ???, Evans, Clark and Washington. SG is either KJ or Cumberland. I'm happy with either one of those guys coming off the bench and making their contributions. Kevin will be in there late, close games for defensive purposes and Cumberland will sub in for offense just like with Cobb last year. After that I think Moore or Scott see the most minutes depending on how often Washington gets in foul trouble. Scott was very athletic and the best passer in Georgia according to one scout.
Caupain and Clark have improved their numbers every season so far. They are going to be our leaders and their success determines how far we can go. Washington is going to surprise a lot of people and I'm expecting him to be more consistent than Ellis was. Hopefully Evans doesn't have a sophomore slump, but a breakout year. If he can average 12+ a game.... We could be scary good. I agree 100% with the previous poster that said injuries are the only thing that will hold this team back. We don't need 12 deep. Just our starting lineup to be solid and the first 2-3 guys off the bench (after KJ or Cumberland) to not blow games when they're in there.
