That would be interesting if we do press more next season. Were definitely going to have a quick back court that could do some damage. Really enjoyed the 3/4 court stuff last season when we really got after it.
How far will the bench extend?

I think a lot of guys will play this year, especially in the non con as Prohm tries to figure out who will step forward and what lineups work best.
I view Lewis as more of a 3 or a 4 (similar to Ejim), but I could definitely be wrong there.
He's listed as SF, so I'd think probably a 3. I've had in my head that he's SG, I've been incorrect categorizing him w/ Long/McNeill.
I guess I'm confused as to what constitutes being in the rotation according to you. Last year there were 8 players who played in at least 30 of the 35 games and averaged at least 16.5 minutes a game. The lowest per game average of those guys was Nick who built that 16.5 min average in all 35 games. Was he not in the rotation? The lowest number of games from that group was Young with 30 games. Most of what he missed was due to injury. In those 30 games he averaged 17.5 mins per game. Was he not in the rotation? I think it is fair to say that Coach had an 8 man rotation last year. If you play in over 85% of the games and average over 16 minutes a game you are in the rotation.
Not sure, usually it goes a little past the baseline with managers and things like that.

Starting 5: Wigginton, Jackson, Babb, Solomon, Brase
I would say we should expect Jeff Beverly to fill a role similar to Darrell Bowie's at seasons end this year. 15ish minutes a game off the bench to hopefully provide some energy and rebounding.
I expect the rest of the rotation to come down to 1) Do Cam Lard and Jakolby Long impress enough to earn minutes by years end? and 2) the health of Hans Brase. The caveat here is whether Hans can stay healthy or not will directly impact how much time Cam Lard sees assuming Lard doesn't greatly exceed expectations. I think Terrence Lewis will get 15+ minutes a game in year 1 because we will need his outside shooting... hoping he can add some bulk this summer to be ready.

I really hope Brase is healthy enough to be playing at or near his best.
I could see his injury keeping him from being a starter. He might be the guy who plays 15 min/game and Beverly playing 25+.
As far as Brase's injury problems, perhaps we shouldn't read too much into it. It sounds like the original fix of his knee was never right which caused him to be susceptible to re-injury. By all reports this latest surgery was much more successful.
