The team is starting to get healthy… Vanderbilt, Hachimura and Cam now rejoined the team. What do you think should be the starting line up?
I believe it should look like this
Dlo - you saw it, dude is good defensively. Hes using his wingspan wisely causing turnovers for opposing teams. Still imo, hes still your best shooter. Ofc its a no brainer who should start between him and Gabe.
Reddish - could be debatable and unpopular opinion. Same reason with Dlo, dude gives his 100% on every possession. He moves a lot, gets into opposing teams passing lane. One of our better defenders on the team.
Taurean - another unpopular opinion, just like DLo, Reddish. We need guys who hustle hard defensively in the starting line up. Taurean is quick, and when his 3 pt shots are falling. Its always a good night. I couldve said Vanderbilt, but Im just a lil bit worried on offense. And with Cam Reddish alr on your starting 5 that makes the role redundant, but it would work on some match ups and me saying they shouldnt start together doesnt mean they cant during 2nd, 3rd quarter or crucial moments during the 4th
LBJ, AD - Ofc
Bench: Reaves, Christie, Hachimura, Vanderbilt, Wood
Whats yours?
The formula for success imo is one of reaves/Dlo, two athletic wings (one of which needs to have good poa defense), lebron and AD.
Between Dlo and AR, im always going to trust AR more due to the way he played in the postseason.
For the two wings, I think RUI is our best spot up player, but shouldn’t be our best point of attack defender. Cam Reddish can be that poa defender without having the offensive liabilities that Vanderbilt has. So I think our 2 should be Cam and our 3 to be RUI.
So ideally we would have AR-Cam-RUI-Bron-AD
