I’m have a bit of difficulty figuring out Xavier’s Depth Chart for the 2012-13 season.
For the sake of discussion, perhaps some of you Musketeers might post your own thoughts about this.
Possible Depth Chart (
Position: starter, first off the bench at each position.)
C: Jeff Robinson, Jalen Reynolds, and James Farr.
PF: Isaiah Philmore, Travis Taylor, and James Farr.
SF: Justin Martin, Dezmine Wells, and Travis Taylor.
SG: Dezmine Wells, Brad Redford, and Myles Davis.
PG: Semaj Chrison, Dee Davis.
Muddy’s Observations:
(1) Idealy, Wells would start at SF because of his great athleticism and proven ability to rebound (which Xavier really needs up front), but that would leave Redford as the starting SG, and I think that a starting line-up with Martin and Wells is stronger than a starting line-up with Wells and Redford.
(2) I expect that Wells will play both wing positions in most games and lead the Musketeers in minutes played and scoring.
(3) From what I have read about Philmore, he appears to have the edge over Taylor.
(4) If Christon is not better than Davis, the Muskies are in big trouble.
(5) Based on Farr’s performances at Maine Central Institute (low scorer; stats unknown) and in the Deveroes League (about 6 ppg), I don’t see him getting much court time this season other than mop-up minutes, unless another Xavier big man is injured (which hopefully will not happen).
(6) Dez Wells certainly has All Atlantic 10 Team potential, but it hard to see where the scoring and rebounding against better opponents will come from after the departures of Tu Holloway, Mark Lyons, Kenny Frease, and Andre Walker.
(7) On paper, this season’s team looks thinner than any Musketeers’ Roster in recent memory.
