We talk about our atomic starting 5 ("Danny's Aingels" is my favorite so far). The rest of the NBA fandom will soon "discover" it too.
But I wanted to talk about this bench of ours that is particularly strong.
How strong?
Here are 3 players to give us a good perspective.
Terry Rozier - Would, by my count, surely start on these teams:
NY, Brooklyn (Russell is actually a 2-guard IMO), Orlando, Phoenix.
He could start on these as well:
Cleveland, Atlanta, Dallas, Chicago, San Antonio and Sacramento but they have prospects at PG that they want to develop.
And finally there some teams that could, in theory, start him:
Milwaukee (he outplayed Bledsoe, spaces the floor better), Detroit (Reggie is almost always injured), Clippers (Beverly is injury prone with less upside, may even be on the move soon), NOLA (Jrue would move to a nominal 2-guard slot).
That's 4-14 teams that he would start on.
Marcus Smart - is a hard player to evaluate. Some things he does are elite, but some others are well below starting level. Still, his versatility is very valuable. He would start on:
Phoenix (repeating occurrence, great fit next to Booker IMO), NOLA, Charlotte, NY, and Detroit (Stanley Johnson is benched).
5 teams, maybe more.
Marcus Morris - Our 5th best wing, would be much higher in the rotation then here, even on some projected playoff teams. Wings are becoming more valuable each day.
I'd say he'd almost certainly start on Denver (Barton), NOLA (Hill), San Antonio (Gay is their starter?), Detroit (he did start there for 2 years), Portland (Harkless) and Sacramento (no wings). That's 6 teams.
We have at least 3 clear lower tier starters on our bench. Pretty strong and I can't recall when some other team had at least 3 potential starters on the bench.
