So what's our starting 5 now?

[Quetzalcoatl]

Hayward was a 2 every year until last season.  He can guard them, it's fine

I really believe that Gordon Hayward starts at two guard this year. He can handle the ball, he can shoot and he can make plays on and off the ball. I also think that being over looked is what an excellent defender Hayward is. Barring moves I see a very big quick Celtics team were everyone on the floor can shoot and pass like those old 80s Celtics squads.

Great starting 5 and definite contender....

Hayward is a fairly big small forward. He's a plus defender at that spot, but there are a lot of two guards he won't be able to keep up with, including the one we just sent to Detroit.

I would want Jaylen to start at the two. He's quick enough, and starting him will accelerate his development.

I think most are on correct page. IT, AH, GH (at what position) are locks.  So then it's what's best for team.  To me I want Smart off the bench as the leader.  That gives you GH at shooting guard or JB.  IF GH goes there then its a small forward choice of Jae, Brown at small forward.  If JB at sg then its GH at sf.  He's one of our 3 lock players but a swing guy so it depends on what brad sees as best for team.  One important thing with a big no knock on Avery is our backcourt no matter what gets bigger.  IT starts and he has GH, JB or MS starting next to him.

 people think brown can defend 2-guards and 1s? lol

Anyone quick would fly right by brown. We will start smart most likely

I don't care as much about starting but I can't wait to see a line-up with Hayward, Brown and Tatum! that will be awesome over the next 4 years!
