Not what who you think will start or end the game, but what line up do you want to see in a game? We know Iowa is going to go 11 deep and everyone is going to get minutes but which one excites you the most? Do you want a to see a defensive line up with Olaseni, Basabee, White, Oglesby and Clemons? How about play a two bigs with shooters such as Woodbury, Olaseni, Jok, Oglesby and Gessel. Or a long team with Woodbury, White, Uthoff, Jok and Marble? Or put some players who can create like Olasni, Uthoff, Marble, Clemons and Gessel? There's a lot of possibilities. Which one are you most interested in seeing? Me? I would like to see Olaseni holding down the middle, with Uthoff waiting in the wing, White doing what he does best and that is play smart basketball, Oglesby/Jok running sets trying to get open for a three and Marble at point, trying to drive and create with help from Olaseni and if not there dish off to Uthoff in the wing or Olgesby/Jok running around. If they miss, White comes in and cleans it up. What about you?
 


Pretty standard.

Gesell
Marble
White
Basabe
Olaseni

That gives you four good passers (and Basabe is a little underrated in that area, IMO), and three outstanding finishers at the rim (read: thunderous dunks). Also gives you excellent rebounding, good backcourt offense (Gesell and Marble) and good defense. Woody will start, and I've got no issue with that. But I think this might be our best lineup this year. The players' games all complement each other extremely well, IMO.

I agree this line up is the most exciting. No question. Most athletic players on the team right there.

Nice lineup, the one I'm excited to see is:

Gesell
Marble
Uthoff/Jok
White
Woodbury/Olaseni

I want to see what we do with 3 shooters on the floor and White at the 4.
 




I like the 2 bigs with shooters. But marble at the point with Jok and gesell shooting. Holy cow we have so many options!
 




A lot to be excited about on this team. If I have to limit it to one particular lineup I'll go with:

Gesell
Marble
Jok
Uthoff
Olesani

...mostly because I want to get a look at the two "newcomers" and I'd like to see if Olesani is still playing like the guy who finished last season. But right up there in terms of intrigue are:

<Any 1 - 3 combo>
Olesani
Woody

...for obvious reasons. And tm's lineup because I think his 1 - 4 are going to be a very common crunch-time lineup along with either Woody or Olesani depending on whether we're more in need of offense or defense.
 


Are people just being funny with the offer list thing or do they really not understand that the offers go away when a player gets hurt?

I am interested in seeing Olaseni's progress as an offensive force. We've been told that he has been working hard on his offense. He's a junior. Would be nice to see the results.

Beyond that, I want to see some shooting consistency from Uthoff, Jok and Oglesby. If we have that, we are going to be golden.

All ISU fans say Jok was a mid major player.......Guessing Usborne is an ISU troll, but it was funny minus the lucky to snag Jok line.
 


1) Marble
2) Jok
3) Uthoff
4) Basabe
5) Olaseni

That is a looooong athletic high flying lineup there. Don't know that I'll ever get to see that particular lineup on the floor, but I'd really like to see this group slap a full court press on somebody.
 


I would like to see how many fast break points this 5 could score.

1) Marble
2) Jok
3) Uthoff
4) White
5) OlaseniI
 




1. Marble
2. Jok
3. Uthoff
4. Olaseni
5. Woodbury

It would be the longest lineup in the history of Iowa basketball and just a very good lineup in general.

Idiots whose highlight skill is the ability to use a keyboard are much less hilarious. Seriously, Jambalaya on CF is a WAY better troll than you are, and he's not that good.
