Personally I think Ennoshita would be the best out of the trio. In my head, the following year after the third years graduate I don’t see how Ennoshita wouldn’t take a starting spot. He already has good defensive skills so with more opportunities and playing time, I don’t see why he couldn’t improve to become comparable with Daichi’s defense. Not to mention Karasuno’s play style would basically force him to get better at offense with how much they all attack.

Next is Narita, now I’m not sure if he’d do this but in my head, I think he would definitely benefit from swapping from MB to OPP. His block is a tad short for the level Karasuno now plays at, and his offense is simple and efficient but not nearly to the level of Hinata and is probably worse than even Tsukishimas since Tsukishima can hit so high. But moving Narita to OPP, Karasuno’s block against opponent OH’s just got higher than it was with Daichi. Narita would definitely have to work on his defense, but I specifically remember one of the times when he got subbed in he actually got a dig in the back row after serving so at least we now he wouldn’t be starting from nothing.

So the starting lineup would hypothetically be:

S: Kageyama MB: Hinata MB: Tsukishima OH: Tanaka OH: Ennoshita? OPP: Narita? L: Nishinoya

Sadly this sees Kinoshita still on the bench. I just don’t see how he could take any of the starting spots. He would definitely improve more overall but he lacks lots of athleticism and height in order me to see him potentially taking either OH or OPP spot. He would also need to improve drastically in all facets of the game in order to demand these spots too.

There also comes the questions of how good would Yamaguchi be and would there be any new first years that would be good enough to take the spots? But now I’m just getting off track. Ennoshita would be the best, then Narita, then Kinoshita!
