Build the best Starting five and Bench Five

[Hank Finkel]

IT, JB, GH,MM, AH.  Bench MS, JC, get the most minutes then In no particular order TR, JT, AB.  That's ten solid players and depending on the team you are playing you can match up differently.  Also Morris and Crowder I feel are interchangeable.  You have all your veterans doing the heavy work except Tatum and all the rookies getting valuable professional experience with the team or in Maine.

There are a couple  of questions that will be fun to see Stevens resolve.

Thomas 32 mpg
Will Stevens consider starting Hayward 32 mpg--at the two, thus, creating a 50+ PPG backcourt?
If above, then Crowder 32 mpg --is the starting small forward
Horford  32 mpg --is the PF
I see Stevens starting Baynes 24 mpg --at center

There you have it, solid veteran starting line up.

Smart 30 mpg our sixth man/game closer like no other
Rozier 18 mpg part of our guard rotation/attack dog
Nader  12 mpg yes, the Egyptian is going to get minutes at the SG/SF
Brown 17 mpg some nights more & some nights less
Tatum 12 mpg hopefully, he'll get it up to 25 mpg and be ROY
Morris  20 mpg backs up Horford while being the "center" on the second unit

This second unit probably doesn't get that many minutes together. Stevens doesn't seem to do it that way.

Bench guys below have to wait their turn.
Zizic d league for awhile
Semi d league
Yabusele already did D league, but, he is behind, Horford, Morris and Baynes...sort of.

With your starters' minutes, you've only left 88mpg for the bench but you allocated 109mpg for the 6 bench players before Tatum steps up to 25mpg.  Baynes hasn't played more than 16mpg and I don't see that changing with us.  He'll backup Horford at center.  I expect Morris to start at PF getting around 25mpg.  I wouldn't be surprised to see Smart's minutes to drop to 25mpg.  Nader will only get garbage minutes.

I would like to see

IT/Rozier
Hayward/Smart
Crowder/Brown
Morris/Tatum
Horford/Baynes

Be our rotation to start. It’s not perfect as no one can cover for IT and guard opposing point guards, but it’s the best mix of talent and experience. If Tatum or Brown is so good early in the season that they earn a starting spot, great. Same with Rozier or Smart. If Zizic is so good he takes Baynes minutes, that’s great as well.

I just don’t see the point in throwing some of these young guys in the starting lineup right away just because they fit better. Make them earn it, as this is a fine rotation to start the year off.
