Thomas might be the best guard on the team now.  Someone has to get benched, though.   Who should start heading forward?

I wouldn't rush to make a change, but Smart and IT need to cover PG. Bradley cannot. And Bradley is our #2 scoring option now after IT. If a change happens, I would make Smart our 6th man and try to get each of those 3 30+ mins.

I think that you start Smart.  I think the best thing for Smart's development is to start Bradley next to him instead of Thomas.  I also like starting out with strong defense and bringing an offensive spark off the bench.

If you really wanted to star for wins and better play

you start thomas and bradley, no question


but wins dont matter and development is what its about, so you start smart

what makes me laugh is reasoining that smart should start because he plays better.

You can start Smart yet have Bradley and Thomas play more minutes than him.

I would start AB and IT. Smart will still get plenty of minutes to develop. Think the experience and play of those two are superior to Smart right now.

It will be interesting to see who Brad starts once things settle down.

I'd start IT and AB. Smart first guard off the bench. Try to keep Turner at SF as a quick slasher.

I think Smart and Bradley should start. More importantly I think IT and Bradley should finish.

I would like to see Smart and Thomas play together at some point.

I like Smart instead of AB because I think its a better fit.  starting 5'9" next to 6'0" is just asking for trouble imo.
