[Herky] speed

The Hawkeyes need a starter who is an enforcer, a wide-bodied 6’8 to 6’10” guy with toughness and brawniness.  All those 6’9” players suggested for the starting rotation are finesse players.  Also, Connor and J-BO will take up most of the playing time at the #2.  

I think P-Mac should continue as the #6 off the bench and KRM is likely going to be coming off the bench.  I think Perkins and Ulis will get quite a lot of playing time when they need ball handling. I think Perkins has a lot of upside in his game on both ends.

Would you settle for 6'9" players who can slash to the rim? Iowa will have faster and quicker players in the playing rotation next year. Rebraca, Patrick McCaffery, and the Murray twins are all 6'9" and more drivers than outside shooters. Tony Perkins at 6'4" can get to the rim as well. Here is an example of Rebraca going to the basket against Minnesota:

Kenyon Murray has suggested a starting lineup of Keegan, Kris, Rebraca, Patrick and Joe Toussaint. That lineup would have speed and decent size as well.

There’s so many different things you can do with lineups

JT-KRM-PM-KEM-FR. Dont sleep on a lineup that gives 4 players at 6’9. Kris and Keegan were SG/SF before they shot up. They didn’t forget how to shoot. Gives PM and JT room to slash and FR has a skill set to play anywhere on the floor!

I am glad to see that Bohannan will fill the shoes of CJ and return to play a 6th year. This does not, however, solve our speed and quickness problem, that cost us a number of games this year including the Oregon day.

JT has the speed and quickness we need but I would like to see a couple of 6'7'' forward that can blow by their defenders and score.  When will this happen ?
