Way-too-early poll: Who's our starting five for Game One?

nvspuds's question on another thread prompted this poll. Since the proviso in my signature applies extra to this question, still think it would be fun to see what we all predict and why. So make your picks in the poll, then feel free to explain yourself in the thread.

Word is that the players have asked to keep Coach Dixon as head coach, and so presumably would stay in that case. Hiring someone else might cause them to consider transferring, to VCU or elsewhere.
