Starters: PG Dlo, SG Prince, SF Wood, PF Bron, C AD
Off the bench:
Rui needs to play more minutes as our backup 4 when Bron is out. Rui is a 6moty level player who is only getting like 15-20mpg. Darvin needs to utilize him way more.
Reaves can play the backup 1 or 2 for the time being. He can share the primary ball handler/playmaker role with Lebron as he has done before. Can play with Dlo sometimes but this is not ideal.
Hayes should be playing the non AD minutes. Wood can hold up decently as the lone center but he works best as a forward who provides defense against wings, rebounding, and shooting.
Cam can play the backup 2-3. Cam is a very inconsistent shooter but is a pretty good perimeter defender so he can be used when we need perimeter defense.
Thoughts on this?
Dlo/Cam/Rui/Bron/AD
I really think Ham is messing with Rui’s development not giving him the minutes that he needs. And before anyone says anything about his age Plenty of big wings had their breakout season at 25 such as Middleton, Siakam, Jerami Grant, and Lauri Marakkaen.
