With Fortson out of the lineup, Pelphrey is only sure about two starting spots, he said.
"The two Mikes are in [forwards Michael Washington and Michael Sanchez]," Pelphrey said. "[Junior guard] Stefan [Welsh] will be in the mix, but the other spots are up in the air. Rotnei [Clarke] will probably be in the mix as well."
Campbellsville enters this season looking to build on a trip to the NAIA National Tournament Semi-Finals from a year ago. The Tigers lost to eventual champion Oklahoma City University.
The Tigers are ranked No. 18 in the NAIA preseason poll and are led by senior forward Zach Allender, who is sixth on the school's all-time scoring list.
Allender missed all of last season with a complete tear of his anterior cruciate ligament.
As for Arkansas, Pelphrey said the two exhibition games this season are more important than last season.
"Every time we line up together, we're going to learn something," Pelphrey said. "I want to see guys play hard with unity, cohesiveness and understand what it takes to be on a team. I want us to play collective defense and take care of the ball."
