G: LJ Peak ($1)
F: Jeff Green ($4)

C: Greg Monroe ($4)

Scouting Report: It’s fitting that this Hoya lineup is built around its excellent frontcourt, something which has been a staple of Georgetown basketball since the John Thompson era. Braswell and Peak round out the rotation in the backcourt; Braswell is one of the most underrated assist men in Hoya history, while Peak provides an all-around game and toughness in the 2-guard spot.
