Seriously consider. Start Dante Cunningham.

Among many other things.

You should just change it to Next_Big_Thing and call it a day.

 

I said it was delusional to think DC is, at this point, a better player than Batum... which I believe. Unproven potential is like an irresistible lure for some folks.

 

Where and when did people start getting the idea that Cunningham has the speed to defend the 3 spot? Don't get me wrong I think he's got some potential to be a decent backup 4 (eventually) in the league as a Joe Smith type (maybe), but to take Batum's spot he'd need to be a lot quicker laterally and his range would need to extend beyond the fifteen to eighteen feet he currently hits from.

I think it's far more likely we'll see Webster, Travis, and Roy log minutes at the three spot until Nic is able to return to the lineup.

 

Every post in this thread, except the above, is about who's better, Webster or Cunningham. Only that post discusses the situation--that last year, the starter would have been Outlaw, and this year, it would be Webster. McMillan prefers to bring in Outlaw off the bench (same thing now with Miller vs. Blake). That's the only reason Batum started last year--it wasn't because he was the best SF at the start of the season.
