The guys who played in the Olympics looked a bit more sharp out of the gate. If Barbosa can play that way consistently off the bench...wow.
If Doc is still serious about defense (been fading since Thibs left), then in order of defensive ability it's a pretty clear pecking order:
Bradley
Lee
Barbosa
JET
But we can't really see JET not getting minutes, right? Offensively, it's nearly opposite:
JET
Barbosa
Lee
Bradley,
With Lee and Bradley being close, and perhaps JET and Barbosa being close in another tier.
It all comes down to Doc, so we're screwed. I'd guess all 5 will dress every game, and he'll have some plan that will go out the window due to fouls or the scoreboard.
One thing from the Miami game seemed to be that Doc was trying to match up with them, rather than "running our stuff" and relying on execution. It used to be that our talent forced the other team to match up with us. Perhaps we're deep, but flat. Going to need crazy execution, and I'm not sure a fast-paced game is going to produce wins.
So I think he'll mix-and-match, probably until something gels. We know Rondo/Bradley works, so to me, that starts, but I think Rondo/Lee is going to be pretty good as well.
If we're a real defensive team, which would be my call as coach, I'm looking at the top list and cross-checking with chemistry on both ends and figuring my 4-guard rotation that way.
It comes down to backup PG and how many minutes to play everyone. I like sticking around 30 for everyone as much as possible. So I divide up the 96 guard minutes this way:
Rondo/Lee/Bradley: 30 mpg ea.
Doesn't look so good for JET or Barbosa, does it? I like Barbosa better, but we're stuck with JET for longer...tough call.
With Bradley out, I might go Rondo/Lee 30 ea. and JET/Barbosa 18 ea. in Microwave roles.
