JG/KPJ go straight back to starting when they return, given how well team's played in their absence?

It's Silas

/Thread

 

Gonna be hard to manage everyone's minutes that's for sure.. wouldn't want that job

 

This 1000 percent.

 

KPJ should start

KPJ / green
Bird / brooks
Tate / gordon
Wood / KMJ
Sengun / Theis

 

Gordon, Augustin & Tate should remain the primary ball- handlers. KPJ should be a wing

 

They have to go back to starting. Remember, this season isn't about winning-now. It's about the future. Unless KPJ and Green get reps, Green wont' develop and we won't have a definitive answer about KPJ and his role on the team going forward.

It's the same reason that, at some point, Sengun will be starting. It's not a matter of if, but when. He's got to get reps with the first team as the center because he's going to be a starter next season, and he's got to get accustomed to playing against starters while our starters have to get used to running an offense through him.

 

You forgot about Johnathan

 

Still want to see

Josh
JG
GM
Sengun
Wood

start a game

 

When/If they trade Gordon then minutes becomes much easier to manage

 

It will be KPJ, Green, Mathews, Tate, Wood starting

 

Stagger JG and KPJ. Take JG out first and bring him back in when Sengun subs in for the first time.

To close games, it's gotta be at least either KPJ + Wood OR Sengun + JG.

Would love to see JG get some Wood PNR action to give us more options.

Closing lineups that don't work:
Wood without either one of them.
Wood + Theis regardless of the guard combo on the floor

 

Are we sure they haven't lost their legs? It's like they don't even exist. We have an update, there is no update!

Whenever they return,
Gordon goes back to the supersub role just because Gordon is going to have fun either way as long as he gets 30 minutes. He is comfortable in both roles.

Wood
Matthews
Tate
Green
KP

 

Silas definitely need to manage this well
See what they can do with SenGun Unleased!

KPJ shouldn't handle the ball as much. So much better ball movement w/o KPJ. I would prefer KPJ come off the bench. Starters: Wood, Tate, G.Matthews, Green, and Gordon

 

We've seen Green with two centers on the floor and no spacing.

I would like to see what Green can do with the spacing that comes from not starting Wood and Theis together. We already saw a glimpse of it until he got hurt.

As he returns from injury he will probably be on a minutes restriction. As he tries to get back to his old self pre-injury he should start by coming off the bench.

Once he's able to play more minutes and looking like his old self athletically again he should start. Then we can see how he plays with good spacing and make a more calculated decision that helps the team.

KPJ should be back to starting as soon as he's cleared and ready.

 

I think the starting line-up will be
KPJ
Green
Matthews
Tate
Wood
This is not the line-up I would want. But This is what I expect will happen.

 

Yes as long as they show they want it in practice and that they've been taking notes from those winning games. Shouldn't be given to them too easily but don't make a fuss about it. No point fighting the inevitable.

 

I do not see them as natural 3 point shooters, they might improve their shooting with better spacing for sure.

Now I see Green's driving game as very good sometimes but against elite teams like the Bucks it would not matter much.

He shot 36% in the GLeague so I expect him to progress to 33% sooner than later.

 

Yes, yes they will...

Talent-wise, along with Sengun, those are the best we got. We need to forcefully develop those two alongside Garrison and Tate, and draft a certain 6-10 Forward in the 2022 draft.
