Duncan has been absolutely balling this season.
Do you think Duncan deserves to stay in the starting lineup even after Tyler comes back? Or should we just stick with the original Kyle-Tyler backcourt? I honestly don’t think having Tyler come off the bench is a realistic option but I wanna hear what people think.
Yes I think they should both start, but kind of stagger their minutes throughout the middle portion of the game so you have Duncan spacing for the Bam and Jimmy lineups, and then let Tyler cook with that bench unit of JJJ and Caleb etc. Then depending on situation let Duncan close the game with Tyler or not
Point Duncan
Last season, we had a -0.56 net rating in the 200 minutes Herro and Duncan played together
2021-22, we had a -0.96 net rating in the 853 minutes they played together
2020-21, we had a -0.35 net rating in the 822 minutes they played together
2019-20 we had a -4.59 net rating in the 565 minutes they played together
Not a viable option
People have been asking this question for years. But this may finally be the first time its viable thanks to Duncan’s improved defense.
