I know that starting isn't as important as finishing but it may show a little about what fran wants to start the game off well and how he wants the team to attack. Obviously it seems like we know who 4 starters are (gesell, marble, white, woodbury). I think it comes down to 4 guys for the last spot and that to me relies on how fran wants to attack at the start of the game.
Option 1) mccabe - this is if he wants to really come out and physically beat teams up. Mccabe I also think is the biggest leader on the team which could play a role. This move puts white at the 3 and could make iowa weak on perimeter defense. But it would bring a tough attitude.
Option 2) basabe - this is the move you go with if you really want to get out and run and play with a shot blocker alongside woodbury as woody can alter the shot and basabe can get rid of it...gives a good option to have mccabe and olaseni paired too. Again this move puts white at the 3.
Option 3) may - this move makes me think he is going after full court defense and looking to run with white at the 4. This also seems like a little of a sentimental option as I think the other three players bring more all around than may. May is a leader though not as much as mccabe (in my opinion).
Option 4) ogelsby - this is the guy if you want a legit shooter on the floor. He is the only true shooter on the team and could spread the court for marble and gesell to attack. This is the more standard basketball move but fran isn't the most standard basketball mind.
It will be interesting to see how this team comes along because they are still very young even though they have experience.
