It would be funny if a team traded for them and then made them sit on the bench and then subbed them all 5 at once. They'd call them "The Booster Rockets" and they'd have their own T-shirt night!
So who’s bench is so great? Who are your top 3 benches? Of course we don’t know right now, that’s why we’re trying to predict it. I don’t see a 6th man of the year who is clearly better than Amen. Who has a better player coming off the bench? I have a good feeling about us having a top 3 bench, whether we make the playoffs or not.
idk... some folks sure like to grade on potential - well before anything has actually been accomplished... lol
Looks like Aaron Holiday is a really solid 3rd string PG. Well rounded offensive skills. The Bulls, Celtics and Suns were the best bench units last season. Lakers are probably projected to have the best bench right now. Here are some of the projected best benches in the NBA (via Realgm board): Davion Mitchell Malik Monk / Chris Duarte Sasha Vezenkov Trey Lyles Javale Mcgee CP3, Podz, Kuminga, GP2, Saric, Moody, Gay Black, Cole, Ingles, Isaac, Wagner Shake Milton Nickeil Alexander-Walker Troy Brown Kyle Anderson Naz Reid Brogdon Sharpe K Murray J Walker R. Williams III G. Vincent M. Christie J. Vanderbilt R. Hachimura J. Hayes/C.Wood B.Portis J.Crowder M.Beasley R.Lopez C.Payne M.Beauchamp Then there's: Landale/Jabari Jeff Green Tari/Tate Whitmore Amen/Holiday
I don't think they are close to being the best or most talented bench units, but they are the bench unit with the most potential in the entire league. Amen, Whitmore & Tari have a very high upside .... Cam is gonna take someone's minutes.
Amen-Tari-Tate-Cam is the most exciting bench in the NBA and it isn't close. we just need a center that can chuck 3s and i'll be grabbing the popcorn everytime the starters come off the floor.
The youth and depth should position the team to be a leader in pace this season. Hopefully Udoka uses it as an added weapon.
Do I think our bench will rate highly against the other bench groups in the league in net rating or point differential this season? Probably not. But we could have one of the more exciting bench groups with a lot of potential to pull that off in the future.
9th in net rating and +/- and climbing. We’ll be one of the best benches in the NBA this season with 2 of Tari/Amen/Brooks/Bari leading the way. Adams, Whitmore and Sheppard yet to heat up.
Amen and Tari off the bench are fantastic depth. Cam and Reed can get there but it’s going to take another year or two. I know a consolidation trade for say Giannis is appealing, but just keeping the core 7 together with solid vets like FVV and Brooks could lead to a ring.
