My goodness, those top four are ridiculous. What a roster we have! I think Jackson will be a big surprise and will get a fair amount of minutes, contribute a good amount of points, and pull down lots of rebounds while being a defensive monster. It's an insanely exciting time, going into a new season, for ISU ball.My guess on how our minutes are roughly distributed this year:
That's the full 200 and I haven't even accounted for Watson hopefully playing 10-15 minutes or any time for Fish, and hopefully Nojus is so good we can't keep him off the floor. In basketball development there's no replacement for live game minutes. Omaha needed to go somewhere where he stood a good chance of playing 20+ minutes/game against good teams and that wasn't likely to happen here.
- Tamin, Keshawn, Curtis, and Milan will again average about 120 minutes/game combined
- Heise takes most of the remaining time at guard, 20 minutes/game
- About 60 minutes in the post between Jackson, Jefferson, Rock and Chatfield
