The loss of Draymond Green will definitely sting, but with the addition of Gary Harris and several quality big men State should be a Preseason Top 10 team with Final Four and National Title aspirations.

Here's what I think the 2012-13 starting lineup will look like:

PG: Keith Appling, Travis Trice

SG: Gary Harris, Brandon Wood*, Brandan Kearney

SF: Branden Dawson, Russell Byrd?, Denzel Valentine

PF: Alex Gauna, Kenny Kaminski

C: Adrian Payne, Derrick Nix, Matt Costello

* I'm not entirely certain as to where I read it, but I read that Brandon Wood could earn another year of eligibility.

? At this point Russell Byrd isn't resembling the player that he was supposed to be out of High School, but hey 396 foot surgeries will do that. If he can regain form, and shooting touch, I like him to contend for this spot.

All in all, this lineup is truly stacked, and should contend for not only the B1G Title but the Nat'l Title as well.
