    That was last year. This year he'll be a superstar.

    Given that Olshey has already said that CJ needs to work on becoming a 1, I'm pretty sure he won't be starting.

    Honestly, I don't think Towns will be all that much better then Vonleh or Leonard this year, and Id certainly take Dame at this point in time over Wiggins.

    Right with you in hoping that's the case. In Dame I trust.

    Suppose we just started our 5 best regardless of position, who would that be? Obviously Lillard. Maybe CJ. Almost certainly Henderson (sadly). Aminu? Leonard? Plumlee? Davis?

    When did Olshey say that he wants CJ to become a PG?

    Dallas is a big question mark, but if everyone is healthy and bounces back, then their starting 5 is pretty solid: D-Will and Wes, Parsons and Dirk and Pachulia is actually an underrated C.

    The only thing preventing this roster from being competitive is time. Lots and lots of time.

    It's "Bleacher Report," lol...

    And have they decided who is going to start? Because I'm pretty sure Terry Stotts hasn't...

    Yes, there is potential here, and athleticism. But I saw enough of that with Nic.

    Dame is a real starter. I don't really know who else is. A guy or two will break out and that will be nice to see. I put the odds on Myers, maybe CJ. I don't really know the other guys well enough to say. It will be fun to watch them develop, but 29 - 35 wins is what we should expect.

    When asked in one of his last interviews about the backup PG spot.

    Dang he was borderline? Dame is like 10th or something in the entire league for Jersey sales.

    As for production... Well, he gave Aldridge the green light to be the man because he wanted to make sure Aldridge's ego wasn't hurt. Just wait until this season starts and you will eat your words.

    I don't understand your point, CJ should be our starting 2.

    The point is that CJ fits the mold of a good sixth man.

    I rhink the main rotation at SG should be CJ and Crabbe. CJ could come off the bench but he's our top SG.

    The starting rotation will be determined after the conclusion of tonight's SL finale.

    I would start Damian, CJ, Henderson, Leonard and Plumlee. The rest of the regular rotation should be Frazier, Crabbe, Harkless, Aminu, Vonleh and Davis.

    Just because you forgot to use a question mark and used a period, doesn't make "I don't understand how you rate this team?" into a statement.
