I didn't want Thompson and I don't want Cousins. Timelord needs to be given 20-25 minutes on a consistent basis.
Agree - That would at least feel like we had a purpose to what we are doing every game. Letting the young core develop together.
Along with that philosophy, play Pritchard at PG more minutes. I know he has struggled of late, but at least we could see how a possible future, contending core would develop together. Just for his morale, keep Kemba starting, but move him over to 2 guard more and give Nesmith some minutes there as well.
Pritchard, Smart, Tatum, Brown and RWilliams - yes I know there would be struggles, but at least we would have a purpose and direction beyond just making the playoffs and making it to the second round. Is that enough pure talent to win a title ? Williams and Pritchard would have to make huge improvements the next couple of seasons. If not, that makes a good second unit and we bring in major upgrades.
