gurpilo Posted 5 hours ago Report Share Posted 5 hours ago I think our starting lineup is what we saw yesterday Trae/DD/Hunter/JJ/Cap and our 2nd unit is Bufkin/Bogi/Risacher/Nance/OO with Vit, Gueye and Roddy pushing for minutes. However as the season advances I think Risacher and OO can replace Hunter and Capela.. Overall this is what we expected, a deep team, balanced with question marks at backup PG position and Center. I would gladly trade Capela and something else for Ayton. I would hate that something else is Nance because I think he can be key for us and would like a player with potential if Hunter is included, someone as Thybulle for example, better defender an similar impact on offense. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurpilo Posted 5 hours ago Report Share Posted 5 hours ago (edited) And I would add a thought, we are deep because we exchanged our starting SG for another starting SG (better fit) and a rotation big that we were really lacking, we lack bigs, and we added a real good piece at wing with Zach. We improved at wing and Big positions. Additionally we have some players that can cover injuries at SG, SF and perhaps PF position with Vit, Roddy and Matthews, even Gueye. But we are thin at bigs and PG position and we are injury prone there with Bufkin, OO and Capela, also Nance. I think front office needs to realize that we should change some of our wing depth for Bigs depth and PG help, we are really thin there.

I think it will be something like these scenarios. Start the year with: Trae, Bogi or DD, Dre, JJ, Cap — I suspect Quin will want to lean on his vets more in the beginning. DD will need to show positive consistency all preseason and/or Bogi not being 100% for him to start at the beginning of the year. But who I’d like to see is: Trae, DD, ZR, JJ, OO — and I think that is likely what will happen by mid season or by the end of the year I like keeping Trae + DD together and Kobe + Bogi together. That’s just good balance. Dre is better off the bench, so if ZR can take the starting spot from him, all the better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member JeffS17 Posted 4 hours ago Premium Member Report Share Posted 4 hours ago I might be in the minority here but I want dre to start until Risacher shows consistently hes better. Dre looked good last night, just his shots weren’t falling… and he will get into matchups on defense that suit him better playing with Dyson.

Trae Dyson Hunter JJ Capela I also want Risacher to earn his starting spot but I'd rather see Bogi and DD than Dre and DD in the starting lineup so we get out to stronger starts. Quin has much nicer options and tougher choices on the wing than last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Risacher had a nice night, and he was my guy pre-draft, but let's not get ahead of ourselves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
