Five months before the start of the college basketball season, it’s a hit-and-miss game to forecast the starting lineup for the Wisconsin Badgers.
Last year’s team was dominated by experienced players who wound up falling short of expectations.
This year, Wisconsin goes from one of the oldest college basketball lineups to one of the youngest. Brad Davison figures to drive opponents crazy in his fifth and final year – and his starting spot is a lock.
Freshman Chucky Hepburn has a chance to be a starter in his first season.
Smooth Johnny Davis is almost certain to start in his sophomore season after seeing a lot of playing time as a freshman.
Finally, the Badgers are thin inside, meaning junior Tyler Wahl and sophomore Ben Carlson will have to carry a lot of the load.
Others could emerge over the coming months, but those five players will likely determine whether it’s a good season or not.
