If Luke needs to come out due to foul problems, might Wojo decide to go without a traditional 5 and simply play 5-out instead of replacing Luke with Matt?

Maybe Sam can handle the 5 at times the same way Lazar did his senior year and Jae did at times.

I can envision a line up with Traci or Markus at point, Rowsey or Duane at the 3 and two of the following - JJ, Haanif, or Katin - along with Sam as the nominal 5.

We could put five perimeter players on the court and really stretch the opponent's defense. Whoever the other team's center is would have to come out and guard Sam at the arc or leave him open for good looks from trey territory.

On defense we could run a 1-3-1, much like Xavier does, or settle for a match-up zone, the kind Chaney used to run at Temple in the distant past or Minnesota many moons ago.

Curious what others think.
