UCLA head coach Ben Howland told reporters that Tyler Honeycutt would start his first game tomorrow night against Cal, with Jerime Anderson moved to the bench for being late to a rehab session on Sunday.
Malcolm Lee will slide to the point guard spot, while Honeycutt will still provide perimeter defense.
Honeycutt adds instant size and rebounding, though Lee will have to adjust to playing the point, as he’s averaging nearly two turnovers a game.
“”The one thing he adds to our team is the ability to rebounder,” Howland said. “Tyler is a good rebounder. Per minutes played, he has to be first or second on the team.”
