I just think we need Booker's size and really want to see what Ejim can do at the 3. But there would be no argument from me if Booker doesn't start and Babb does.

Yep, this is the lineup.
I bet we'll learn a lot more during and after the Italy trip, but I think this is the lineup we'll see in the fall.
I think with this year it's not going to be the starting lineup that is important but the number of minutes that each player logs. CFH has said numerous times he is going to press and run. We also have a very flexible lineup that will vary depending on the situation. With that in mind I think the minutes will break down like this (not necessarily who will start)...
PG: McGee (20), Allen (10), Sledge (5), Bubu (5)
SG: Scotty (20), Allen (10), Mcgee (5), Babb (5)
SG/SF: Ejim (15), Babb (15), Allen (10)
PF: White (20), Ejim (10), Babb (5), Gibson (5)
C: Booker (25), Railey (10), White (5)
PG: McGee (20), Allen (10), Sledge (5), Bubu (5)
SG: Scotty (20), Allen (10), Mcgee (5), Babb (5)
SG/SF: Ejim (15), Babb (15), Allen (10)
PF: White (20), Ejim (10), Babb (5), Gibson (5)
C: Booker (25), Railey (10), White (5)

I think this is the lineup we'll see at the beginning of the season. Depending on how he plays, I think there is a slight chance Sledge starts during conference play.
That's an awfully small lineup. Three starters under 6'3. Tallest starter 6'6. Booker will be in there.
McGee
Allen

I agree with the premise of your post. We're too small without Booker. I just don't see anyway Scott doesn't start,
So if I total those minutes.
Allen (30)
McGee (25)
White (25)
Ejim (25)
Babb (25)
Booker (25)
Scotty (20)
Railey (10)
Gibson (5)
Bubu (5)
Sledge (5)
I think that's about right, other than Scotty being too low and Railey too high. I also think Gibson and Bubu are closer to 0 than 5.
SC will get plenty of minutes. Spark off the bench. I don't think he gives Fred the kind of defensive pressure he's looking for in his guards. McGee is a defensive beast by all accounts. It also wouldn't surprise me if he leads us in scoring. No way he doesn't start. Allen is a lock. So is Ejim. We'll need Booker to take some pressure off White in the paint.
no idea on starting lineup, could be one of several. my minutes breakdown:
white: 30
allen: 30
mcgee: 26
scotty: 26
Babb: 26
Ejim: 26
booker: 20
sledge: 10
railey/gibson/bubu: 6
man, i really hope we can defend and rebound. not worried about our offense at all.

I agree about SC, he'll play starters minutes but come off of the bench. I think (for the first time in forever) we've got some versatility with our rosters. We have a depth at guard and I could see the 3-5 spots changing around a bit based on match ups. We'd be very formidible pressing with Ejim playing the 4, I think he'll spend most of the time there with RW and Booker rotating at the 5.
