Power Forward

Power forward will give us the chance to see the one player most of us wanted to see a lot more of last year. Xavier Booker. We all know that Booker struggled to see the floor for a variety of reasons last year, but that won't be the case this season. In fact, I think Booker will be ready to play a lot of minutes for the team this season. So I am predicting Booker to get 29 minutes per game this season.

Carr will also see the majority of his minutes at this position as well. I will give him nine minutes per game at power forward giving Carr a total of 11 minutes per game this season.

Lastly is Jaxon Kohler who I think will get two minutes as a power forward per game this year. This is not Kohler's main position by any means, but I think depending on the matchup Izzo might go with two bigs again this year like we saw him do last season. So Kohler might get paired with another center in short stints this season and be the most likely guy to get the remaining minutes.
