Point guard

This ought not to be a problem. In fact, it ought to be in very good shape. Watkins, Johnson, Pippins, Burns, Osse: all of them have played point in the past, even if it is not their best position.Everything seems to point to Watkins as the favorite for minutes, but hopefully someone will push him.

Not many coaches seem to like "point by committee," and I agree with that. I like to see the main point guard playing about 30 minutes per game. That gives the team a chance to stay in rhythm, while still giving the starter a little rest. I could be wrong, but my best guess is that that is about what Watkins will play, with Johnson sliding over whenever Osse is in the game at the 2.
