Summer practices under Jon Scheyer have taken a dramatic turn. Gone are the rigid positions and structured sets of years past. In their place? A five-man rotation experiment that has fans whispering words like “genius”… and others muttering, “what is he thinking?”

Five Stars. No Roles. No Rules.

At the heart of the madness are Cameron Boozer, Nikolas Khamenia, Dame Sarr, Sebastian Wilkins, and Isaiah Evans.

Instead of locking each player into a set role, the staff is rotating them fluidly — sometimes by the possession. One moment, Isaiah Evans is running point. The next, Boozer is stretching out on the wing while Wilkins defends a center. Khamenia is often seen initiating offense from the high post, while Dame Sarr, a natural wing, is orchestrating pick-and-rolls.

They’re switching everything on defense. They’re sharing playmaking duties. They’re blurring every traditional line of “guard” or “forward.”

It’s chaos. But it’s coached chaos — and it’s starting to make sense.

This Could Break Games — or Break Down

The potential upside is enormous:

Unscoutable rotations

Positionless mismatches every trip down the floor

Elite versatility on both ends

But there are real risks. Turnovers have been a problem when multiple non-guards try to run sets. Defensive rebounding has taken a hit when Wilkins or Evans are pulled away from the rim.

And while the highlights look great, the lowlights have been rough — missed rotations, miscommunication, and confusion on switches.

Still, the staff isn’t backing off. Why? Because they believe that if this experiment clicks — no team in college basketball will be able to match their adaptability.

The Long Game Starts Now

This isn’t about looking polished in July. It’s about creating a nightmare matchup by March.

Scheyer knows what he has: five players who can all dribble, pass, shoot, and guard multiple spots. He’s not playing it safe. He’s betting on versatility over tradition — and the players are embracing it.
