I would like to see Harkless added to the list. I might agree with Davis, but sure like Davis and Vonleh off the bench. Right now the starters I would like to see are: Dame Harkless Aminu Davis Leonard
Think CJ might get the shot to start at SG. He's certainly earned it. Alongside Dame, Aminu, Leonard, and Plums. And CJ or Dame will be on the floor at all times switching PG duties when the other is resting. Crabbe, Harkless, Davis, Vonleh get regular PT. Henderson coming back will affect this rotation a bit, but still think CJ has solidified his starting spot.
What I think might happen: Dame CJ Aminu Leonard Plumlee What I think I want to see: Dame Crabbe Aminu Leonard Davis (With CJ still getting a shit-ton of minutes)
I also want Harkless to get plenty of minutes even though I think Aminu might fit better with the starting unit.
Outside of Dame, and maybe CJ and Leonard, it is hard to imagine any player averaging 30 minutes a game. They are all so close in talent and they almost all deserve time.
Right now, I think Davis has outplayed Plumlee. I actually think Plumlee has been a bit of a disappointment.
I think a rotation combination of Davis/Meyers and Noah/Plumlee would balance their strengths an weaknesses better. My thoughts exactly.
I'm still good with this. CJ is Ben Gordon 6th man type. The 2nd team needs scoring, too. And I really like Davis a lot. Plumlee doesn't have as much upside, IMO, though he's solid for what he does.
With what I have seen now (without Hendo) I have others a SG, but I really do want to see Hendo with some time at the SG to see how he fits into this system. He could very well be a great starter, we just don't know how well he will play in this system. He could end up being fantastic because of the cuts he makes and his athleticism and defense. He may even improve his 3pt shooting if given the freedom.
I don't really think the starting lineup matters as much as the rotation, more specifically how many minutes people will play. I'm not sure how it's going to work out when Henderson is healthy. Is he going to take Crabbe's minutes? Or Harkless? Even if you think we're just going to trade Henderson, he's going to have to play a decent amount prior to being traded.
Yup.... and I'm not really a fan of having two scoring combo guards in the backcourt. The Rockets did that with Cuttino Mobley and Michael Dickerson.
There's a reason BKN let him go. But IMO he brings something the other bigs don't and you can never have too many. For one, he can attack the basket better than any other big and he runs the floor very well.
