Thought I’d map out our current roster just to see how good or bad our roster is right now:STARTERS5 Robert Williams4 Gordon Hayward3 Jayson Tatum2 Marcus Smart1 Kemba WalkerBENCH1st big: Grant Williams1st swing: Jaylen Brown1st playmaker: Carson EdwardsUtility: Semi OjeleyeGARBAGE TIMEGuerschon YabuseleRomeo LangfordTremont Waters*****VERDICT:As a lot on this board have stated, we have a really bad rotation up front. Timelord and Williams as our best options? Yikes! Also, I didn’t realize that the backup playmaker slot was a lot weaker than I thought.

Also, I didn’t realize that the backup playmaker slot was a lot weaker than I thought.Actually, I think Yabusele will not be garbage time; he will probably figure into the rotation. I see the 5 spot being shared in pretty equal minutes among RW3, Theis and Yabu. Yabu played decently in spot minutes last season; e.g., when he was called to start a game or two, he played well. He plays hard. I am not saying he is the solution to our problems - he's not - but to relegate a guy with his size, effort and some skill who plays a position of need, to the garbage pile is misguided.
I find it hard to justify starting Smart when we have such little playmaking off the bench. Let Kemba and Hayward deal with the majority of the playmaking duties for the starting lineup I say.I also think we shore up our bigs in the coming days, which should make this look nicer.
I agree, as of 7/1, but there is another big coming for sure, Looney, Stein, Kanter, maybe swing something for Favors....

He has absolutely zero value and is not a NBA player whatsoever.
