I still need to learn more about a lot of our new players. But based on what little info I have I think this would be my main rotation: Dame (CJ, Frazier) Henderson (CJ) Aminu (Pat) Davis (Plumlee) Leonard (Plumlee) That's a 9-man rotation. Throughout the season the rotation will change to get minutes for Vonleh and Harkless, but they're going to be our projects (at least Vonleh...I don't know anything about Harkless). I suspect that due to the politics of the game Crabbe will replace Pat in the rotation, and Pat will be Project Pat - but based off what little I've read/seen of Pat I want him in the rotation immediately.
I thought most people viewed Aminu as a stretch 4, and would stunt him some playing the 3. Has that been debunked?
I think we're going to be running a much bigger lineup than we did last year most of the time (and also we don't care about making the playoffs), so Aminu at the three makes some sense.
Right, I'm not saying its about making the playoffs. I'm taking it as developing a player for the future. And I just thought I was reading that he was a 4, and not so much a 3. So wouldn't make sense to develop him as a 3. (I don't know much about his game to argue for or against) I'm just playing catch up
We have too many bigs for him to be considered a PF of any type. He's a SF in my book. Once we're a Playoff team then there might be scenarios where he plays some PF...if he's still on the team.
PG Dame/ CJ When Dames out CJ should be dominating the ball not asking him to run an offense and be a true PG but to be aggressive score and create much like Beal does when Walls not in the game SG Henderson/ CJ Send the right message start the veteran who's consistent on both ends of the court. CJ should still get 30mpg SF Aminu/ Harkless no brainer PF Davis/Vonleh Somebody mentioned Davis could very well end up our 2nd best player and I agree. I love Ed Davis Vonleh has his work cut out for him nothing should be handed to a raw 19 year old. Going up vs Davis every day is only going to make Vonleh an All star think Zbo/LMA C Leonard/Plumlee Leonard although I hope he develops a post game already brings bigs out to the 3pt line with his rare shooting ability which will allow Dame and slashers like Henderson/ Aminu get to the hoop without a rim protector.
Crabbe and Harkless should be competing for back up SF mins. I think Kamans got to go. I think Leonard and Plumlee are more than capable of holding it down.
Starters Lilliard Crabbe Aminu Meyers Plumlee Bench CJ/Fraizer Connaughton Harkless Vonleh Davis Mop-up duty Montero Kaman Bogans? I feel like I am forgetting someone????
End of the year Dame Lottery pick/ CJ Aminu Ed Davis has a solid year/ Vonleh Leonard I know we play in the west but is 38wins asking too much? 38wins for Utah landed them trey lyles we have got to be at least on par with the jazz Suns Devin Booker Heat Justice Winslow also won around 38 wins
Henderson is who I forgot So I guess then Henderson,Connaughton. I really think Pat will break into the rotation this season and get 10-15 minutes a game.
