    Tyson yes Nene no.

    And yeah def agree we have solid depth at all positions as House can also play backup PF in a pinch. This is due to WB and Harden being pretty tall for their positions, it helps a lot on rebounding even if that doesnt show on the stats.

    I just hope harden and westbrooks give more balls to him for shooting, he knows how to put the ball into net.

    I would actually go with Mclemore. Not even because of the starting/bench splits, but because he has a better off the dribble game, is a great finisher around the basket, and is really consistent right now from the 3-point line. House can go on dry spells, and has basically two moves when driving to the basket. Mclemore's arsenal near the rim, willingness to run the lane, space out a defense, etc. just make him a more valuable piece as part of an offense that can be very stationary.

    That's an interesting take because I feel like House is better off the dribble when attacking (both as a finisher and passer). Ben is a low-cost (in terms of needing the ball) type player who wants to catch and shoot.

    This is a good thread nonetheless because I think both have a case to be made on who should start. The thing that pains me is watching PJ play so many minutes. That's where we need to focus. It just feels like we will run him into the ground and he is too important to our team.
