bballfan03, your starting lineup hits the mark exactly, IMO. That would be my starting 5 until the team further evolves as the season progresses and/or injuries require adjustment. I'm not sure about Tertsea, mostly because I haven't seen him much. However, Tersea is 6'10" but got no minutes after three years at D1 Rhode Island, which suggests to me he may always be that body who looks great in warmups but................... No coach wants a 6'10" to sit and watch unless he just can't produce. You could probably rotate Ogbuagu, Tersea and Dodds at the 5 and it probably won't make much difference offensively. Cisero has to be on the floor at the 4 as the only offensively skilled Big.
Regardless of who you put out there, this is not a talented offensive team. More importantly, there are no pure shooters from last year's returners, which might explain why the frosh SG Clancy from NJ got the starting nod as a shooter. Last year's wins occurred mostly because the team played great D and rebounded and managed to sometimes shoot better than 40% to squeak out a win. If - still an if - this year there is less emphasis on D and rebounding along with a more undisciplined approach to offense, things could get out of hand if not careful.
