I know we are going to play double bugs a lot this year which is great. However Rob played 35 regular season games last year and AL is getting older and can't play back to backs.
I think most here would agree that if healthy this may be our best five, closing five. Certainly the best offensive five.
Porzingis
Tatum
Brown
Brogdon
White
Looks great on paper. So let's say we do roll out this starting five for a good chunk of the regular season. How flawed is the roster as it stands. This puts Prichard in a fairly huge role Giving him big minutes.
Dare I say Davidson or Dalano Blanton would be getting third string reps at PG. Is that crazy? Do we have to get a serviceable guard if that five is playing major minutes together.
When the entire roster is healthy this is how I suspect the minutes to be broken out.
1 Tatum 36
2 Brown 36
3 White 35
4 KP 32
5 Rob 25
6 AL 26
7 Brogdon 26
8 Brissett 14
9 PP 10
The roster as its currently constructed projects to play a decent amount of 2 big lineups. I agree with the OP on Tatum,Brown, White, Brogdon, and KP and a likely closing lineup.
As things currently sit any injury to the top 7 would likely mean a bump up in minutes to Brissett and/or PP with Hauser, Walsh, and Banton all pushing to crack the rotation.
Stevens, said during the summer league game
"I think we’ll try to add obviously a little bit,” Stevens said. “I’d like to get a little more depth, maybe on the wing, and then also maybe with a 4/3 type. I feel pretty good about our bigs. We’ve got a couple two ways, so we’ve got some things we’re still very much looking at.” I could see them bringing in JaMychal Green as a 4/3 type to plug into the rotation if KP,AL, or Rob misses time.
