I have a bit of concern about trying to fix what isn’t broken right now, but putting WCJ back in for Goga, and Fultz in for AB has to make us another step better, right?

I get the Rafer/Jameer comparison, but both those guys are substantial talent upgrades in this case. Even if Fultz only replaced the ~15 or so minutes AB has been getting, those would be 15 better minutes, almost guaranteed. I’d be a little sadder to see Goga fall out of the rotation, but so it goes. WCJ has, at times in the past, looked like our best player (not that I expect to say that ever again now).

One other thing I wouldn’t mind seeing right now is Chuma getting those handful of minutes here and there that have been going to Houstan. I feel like Chuma is probably on the way out regardless, maybe sooner rather than later, but he still seems like a much more fluid player than Houstan right now.

    Imo wendell aint blossoming as a center. Might use him in the second unit as a power forward with cole and mo while Goga is the starting center

    Nice problem to have. I can see ABs minutes being cut significantly (we already seen him go to the bench in our last two games), but mose is going to have to find a way to give Goga minutes. He has been massive during this 7 game win streak. Will be hard to just bench him

      I agree with all of that, but how does it happen if the unusual happens and we actually have a 100% healthy roster? A 12 man rotation seems unlikely. Maybe Old Man Jingles gets pushed out, but oddly enough, he has impressed me too with his YMCA dad game. Ultimately, like you said, nice problem to have and things have a tendency to work themselves out.

      Looking way way ahead…a playoff rotation has to be tightened up even more. That would be a tough one. Unless we just bucked convention and kept going 10+ deep.

    I think Dell and Fultz will get their spots back and AB and Goga go back on the bench. I do believe ‘Close out Cole’ is a real thing and should be finishing games regardless because we’ve seen how important it is to have shooters out there. I need Fultz and Dell to shoot less, and Paolo, Franz, and basically anyone else to shoot more. Goga should get minutes depending on matchups. Moe isn’t perfect and has an off night here and there offensively, and Goga is bigger and stronger, making him a better interior defender.

    I just don’t want Fultz shooting pull up 2s anymore
