Not sure I would agree with that. I would've expected Jefferson, Duncan and Tony to have the most starts, which they do and Bonner slowly being phased out from starter to bench player as McDyess got more acclimated to the system. The wildcard was the starting 2 spot and who would emerge there. I would have guessed Mason since he was in the system last year and had some success. Everyone feels the 2nd year in the system is the one where you know what you're doing, stop thnking so much and just play on instincts. Mason has disappointed in my opinion so far but he is showing signs of coming out of it.
The biggest surprise to everyone, including POP, is Bogans. While known for his defense, I don't think POP thought he would be a replacement for Bowen from the aspect of being able to start. How long it lasts, who knows, but so far the returns have not been that bad.
