This was our starting lineup & bench prediction from the AAC board:

Tulane:
1-Ray Ona Embo G - 6'5
2-Nic Thomas- G - 6'2 (Grad transfer)
3-Christion Thompson- G- 6'4 (Grad Transfer)
4-KJ Lawson- G/F - 6'8 (Grad Transfer)
5-Kevin Zhang- G/F - 6'9

League Bench ranking:
# 9- Tulane- jelly walker/ interesting freshman/ transfer applying for waiver


Strange to see zhang as the big man ! Our bench should be . . . Interesting. PG is a position of strength with Ray Ona Embo (who this messege board voted as second all AAC) & Walker. Days and the new pf should be interesting as well. Can we make the NIT ? Maybe thats crazy talk

Unless Zhang adapts to Hunter’s defensive principles at a far faster pace than I expect, I think we'll see Walker out there instead of him. Pretty clear that if you're not playing Coach's defense, you're not playing.

I think Days and Walker both will be starting sometime during the year. CMD always said Walker was the most talented player during practice drills.

Exactly. Hunter's teams seem to emphasize defense, physical play and rebounding--not exactly Zhang's forte. He'll have to completely morph to fit into such a system. But who knows, maybe he can. Right now, his greatest contribution to Hunter's team would be as a long range zone buster on offense.

I'll just point out that he said the same thing about Cornish. Hopefully this turns out different.

Yep. It’s always convenient for a losing coach to say that his best player can’t play this year.
Be proactive, being reactive is for losers..
