Every moment Avery Bradley plays point guard is a moment I doubt Steven's ability to coach.  Stevie Wonder can see he is not a point guard and that the teams offense sucks when he is playing there.
There is the whole playing defense thing that is a challenge for Pressey, and Crawford is a hot mess.

Yeah Bradley plays great defense , of course he plays better defense when he's at the two, but that doesn't matter if he can't play the point, and he can't.  Dennis Rodman was great on defense, I wouldn't ever want to see him playing the point.
No, he doesn't.

Keep in mind from that practice tweet, Sullinger isn't in the mix (dealing with his case, right?)  I have to imagine Sully starts and then the first three off the bench are Bass, Olynyk, Pressey.

He did in the preseason.

or

I would also be fine if Pressey starts instead of Wallace, at point of course lol.

I think he is going to bring Sully off the bench. I think he will start the same group from the Nets game. I don't really mind it but I think Sully should start over all other bigs.

I don't feel like making a thread, his case was dropped today.

Obviously, there are no diehard tanking advocates in this thread because if you were dead-set on trying to maximize losses, you'd want to start Bass and Sullinger together.

Based on pre-season I'd go with

Bradley - Green - Wallace - Bass - Olynyk

I'd give Pressey, Lee, Brooks, Sullinger, and Faverani time as backups.

Humphries, Bogans, and Crawford get left out of the mix.

I'd like to see:
Crawford (for outside shooting and scoring)
Green (can't sit him, best talent needs PT)
Wallace (can't sit him, plays too hard)
Olynyk (needs PT to get better, is more of a 4 than 5)
Faverani (best and only center on team)

bench:
Pressey
Bradley
Lee
Bass
Sully

Humps and Bogans are still valuable as trade assets if they play or not.  Why wasted PT on them if they're not in the team's future?  Bass and Lee need to show they can be contributors off a bench if we have any hopes of trading them.  Brooks can fill in when injuries happen.

I'd rather not try to develop Sullinger by throwing him at centers night in and night out.

Our team is going to be bad anyways.  I want to develop our young talent foremost.

Not tanking -- developing assets.

Even though I am one of the people who think this year is all about developing our assets and not trying to win games, I think it's important to put the most deserving guys out on the floor.  Doing otherwise is actually detrimental to player development goals.

Not trying to start a debate but I am a bit of a tanking advocate.
Maybe have:

Pressey
Green
Wallace
Sully
