Barksdale or Henry?

Thoughts on who will start day 1?

Here are my ramblings:

Barksdale is a talented but oft underwhelming senior with plenty of experience against ACC caliber athletes. My guess is that Buzz will encourage him to be a leader and expect him to add some stability to a still young team. My question is how does Buzz really feel about him? Is he just a warm body or does Buzz see him as his "type" of player and a system fit?

Henry certainly seems talented but has yet to see competition and talent on par with the ACC. His motor is probably a notch above Barksdale and could be important to have on the court at tip. Or is his energy better suited off the bench as a momentum changer? Is he truly the guy Buzz wanted or was it a means to filling the PF end?

Time will tell but I think I just convinced myself that Barksdale will probably start day 1 but will see how Henry adjusts and possibly get him into the starting mix mid season or so.
