How many games does our bench win

[nickagneta]

10 games top if they are lucky. That small ball lineup has zero rebounding, zero inside presence, zero shooting efficiency outside of Olynyk, zero rebounding. The deep bench doesn't address any of those concerns.

Thinking that a pre-season game matters or shows that our bench can beat other teams starters is poor thinking. Pre-season doesn't mean a thing. The Celtics bench knows that and so does the Charlotte starters. In the regular season, that Charlotte team probably beats the heck out of our team of bench players every time.

i think with this lineup, that team sees about 15-20 wins.

Smart would be the leader for that team, defensively he can win games and we have seen this before and he is full of energy which will help his teammates.

Olynyk could or would be leading scorer but will be terrible defensively, total defense liability. Rozier/Smart/Brown will be nice to see defensively though

I'm leaning more this way than I am toward the worst team of all time.  Assuming Brad is the coach and they are trying to win and not tank, they won't be historically pathetic.  They will compete at least.

I mean for the last 4-5 years, the 76ers record was 15+ (aside from 2015-2016 which they won 10), the rest of the seaosns were 18,19, 35 win teams. I don't think our team is that bad compare to those

Oh it absolutely is and Philadelphia won just 10 games last year with more overall talent.  I mean at least Philly had a legit #1 scoring option in Okafor.

Philly may have had more talent but they were dysfunctional and trying to lose.

[Rosco917]

I think we would win 10-15 games.

Rebounds would be memory, Olynyk would be eaten alive playing 32-34 minutes a game at center. Brown is a rookie at 19 years old, giving him 81 games of 30-32 minutes a game would wear him down to nothing. Green is ok but certainly not a solution. Smart would be ok, and Rosier may be ok.

I agree with the OP.  I think we would be alright.  I predict anywhere from 30-45 wins.   jaylen can rebound and has talent.  So does Smart.  Rozier is good. Green and KO can shoot.  We won games with a similar lineup the year before last.  Marcus was the starter and is a better player now.   jerebko and Zeller are decent depth and similar to what we have now.  Young and Hunter would get a shot as well as Mickey  and I think they would be alright.

Olynyk wouldn't be starting every night.  We'd have Zeller and Mickey for depth there.

We'd get worn out as the season goes but if we can add our stashed players and sign some fill ins.

[Eja117]

If the team stayed injury free I don't think the starters would be that bad, but not that good.

The guards would be excellent defenders. I think over the course of the year Jaylen would get better. KO and Zeller would be better bigs than people think.

But if that's the bench and that's the NBA team then they're probably the worst team in the league.

[walker834]

We'd win 20-25 games minimum imo.  We could get close to the worst but there would probably be teams worse than us.  Most likely in the high twenties but I can see us being better than that.  With Brad and company and Ainge filling in holes we'd be fine.

[droopdog7]

Some of you guys are smoking some real quality stuff. That would be easily the worst team of all time.  Over under in terms of wins would probably be 5 games.

Can we stop overrating our bench already.  I think it will be above average for sure but some people talking like they'll be the best bench ever.  Not even close.

[walker834]

I would be hard pressed to think that team would lose more  than 3 out of 4 games.  Marcus would have to carry some of the load but he could average 16-17 points. Jaylen could replace anything Sully brought the last few years.  Rozier is bradley quality.  Green wouldnt bring what crowder does but can shoot and score and could match him there.  The rest of our team wouldnt be that different than the one that won a couple years ago. Jaylen would have his struggles but would put up numbers.  It's already questionable somewhat when these guys are going to be starting anyways.

Brad Stevens is that good.  We would get worn out as the season goes though. Percentages would be off and different team.

Jaylen would be in the running for rookie of the year and Marcus for most improved.  They'd actually just be playing more.

[Monkhouse]

7-18 games.

That team has players that are young, willing to work hard to get better, and most importantly of all, hustle and play their hearts out for Brad. But without Bradley, Crowder, Horford or Thomas, that team would literally score maybe 70-80 PPG max.

You can play as hard as you can, but none of those players on our bench are going to win any games for us.
