Starting 5 of Shai-Giddey-Lu-JDub-Chet
Bench of Cason-Micic-Joe-Wiggins-Kenny-JWill
Though JWill played in garbage time, I think he’ll need more minutes. I don’t know whose minutes he’ll replace though.
Micic is still a rookie after all. His mistakes are basically in line with the new atmosphere in NBA but his strengths are carried over from Europe. Add that he’s playing off the ball more often here
Cason is here to stay. He’s only gonna be better from here. I said before that he can be a mix of Dort and Joe. Of course Dort and Joe are still superior at what they’re good at but if we just get the mix of them into 1, then it’s a huge W for us
Wiggins is a spark plug. At this point, I’m not expecting him to get regular minutes but as long as he’s before Lindy Waters or Tre Mann, I’m good
Kenny is looking good and probably took JWill’s minutes at 5 spot already. Definitely needed that hustle and leadership at all times
Joe is our X Factor every game. Any game, we can win if Joe’s shots are falling
That is 11 man rotation. I’m not really sure how Dieng can squeeze in to the lineup but he should be getting reps in G League this season.
As for the playoffs, only Joe and Kenny will have a secured minutes. 2 more will be among Cason, Micic, Wiggins, and JWill
Remember like a week ago when people were tired of Mark’s lineups? Lol
JWill and Kenrich being out was pretty hurtfu, but playing Waters 20 mins in an in season tournament is still pretty baffling. other than that Mark has been stellar
still need to find some more consistent minutes for Wiggins. Guy comes onto the court and you immediately feel his presence at both ends, but we just have so many guards. Even if he was getting 10 mins but playing every game at least that would be better than what he is getting now. Other than that one small wrinkle, I think the rotations were spot on last night yeah
