The Ole Miss basketball team is experiencing a lot of turnover between the 2014-2015 and the 2015-2016 seasons. The Rebels lost five players to graduation and one to transfer, and added four players in this year’s signing class and a graduate transfer; this year’s team will be very different from last year’s NCAA Tournament team.
Due to the personnel changes, Ole Miss will have to constantly run small lineups and try to beat teams with speed. They will likely run a three-guard system, with a center down low and a stretch-four or small forward next to him. While this strategy will hurt the Rebels in terms of rim protection and rebounding, it should give the team excellent floor spacing, a faster pace and a chance to score a lot from the perimeter.
