ZHS will be "smallish" this year, with Prati graduated and no "big" players. My guess at a starting lineup would be Raheem Forman (3), Tanner Gibson (1/2), Cole Carpenter (2/1), Allen Harris (4) and Devin Jones (5). They should be solid. There is always the chance that someone steps out of the shadows and becomes a factor, too -- this has happened many times in the ZHS program. Now, the bigger question will be who comes off the bench. Indications are that Kurt Young will not play his senior year, so that's at least one experienced guard not in the mix. Noah Baldwin's knee injury might preclude him playing at all this season, maybe the second half at the most. We'll see. Cory Harris is a freakish athlete, but his basketball skills are still very raw. Jordan Bouterse could step up and provide ZHS with a solid shooter off the bench. Josh Barker, a 6-3 junior, may have improved enough to provide some minutes, too. Of the sophomores, I'm thinking Kade Haddox might be in the mix.
Scott usually doesn't go too deep into his bench, but they're still going to need some effective contributions from whoever he turns to. Looking forward to seeing who might "step up."
I agree with you a solid starting 5 but the bench is a HUGE question mark. Also I feel Zville will have a hard time rebounding only time will tell.
