There's an expression going around college basketball this off-season. Some teams say they're "positionless." I first heard Calipari say it.
I like that idea. Play the five best players on your team.
For SHU that happens to work out since the core-four of Whitehead, Delgado, Carrington and Rodriguez are the best four players. And they play different "positions."
As for the 5th spot, give it to the best player regardless of position. Really, that should always be the case. Give playing time to your best players. Those are usually the ones who practice the hardest, are team-oriented, have great attitudes and know their Xs & Os. (Plus they study and get the grades.)
It's also great for team morale, and a way to build a culture. Reward the best and the hardest workers.
