What would your line ups be if you were coaching

[PolishFan]

Who scores off the bench? Roberts gets more of a green light?

bench: rivers, ajinca, miller, rabbit , aminu and with the right rotations there should be enough offense

[Mr. West]

Until Jrue gets back, I'd go with...
Roberts/Rivers
Gordon/Morrow
Reke/Aminu
Davis/Babbit
Ajinca/Withey

That's just me. I think Reke rebounds and defends adequately enough that he can start at SF. Play Roberts off ball and have Gordon and Reke initiate the offense for the starters, and give Rivers Reke's current role.

[PolishFan]

...and you know this how?

don't you think he will get a better offer?

[redrum]

I'm the only one who believes at least one starter must be with the second unit?

That should really come from substitution patterns, I know Monty may not view it this way, but nothing says all 5 starters need to be on the bench at the same time.

I see some people starting or playing Tyreke and Aminu together, and you just can't do that IMO. Not only is Tyreke terrible when he is on the court with Aminu, but the team is horrible as well.

Those two, more than any two other players on the team, need to be kept on separate units.

I have no idea what the stats say, but to me Tyreke and Rivers should not play many minutes together. They both are most effective driving to the hoop and neither is a viable spacing option since both lack reliable jump shots. Redundant talents. Both would seem to benefit from playing with either Gordon or Roberts who can shoot outside of 7 feet instead of each other.

I thought he would last year but he signed with us for minimum did he not?

I've honestly lost any reason to play Aminu period at this point. his lack of spacing outweighs his skills on the defensive end too heavily. the fall off with Miller/Morrow on defense is far outweighed by the benefits on offense

My 2nd unit would be at least Rivers, Morrow, Reke, Babbitt, and Withey only because they will most likely be your bench next year. If Morrow leaves put Reke at the 2 and Miller at the 3. Since Babbitt and Ryno play about the same you don't have to change schemes for the 2nd unit.

That teams scream mediocre too good for lottery too bad for playoffs

[al m337]

STARTING:
PG: Tyreke
SG: Gordon
SF: Aminu
PF: AD
C: Withey



2nd unit:
PG: Rivers
SG:Morrow
SF: babbit
PF: AD
C: Ajinca


Run n Gun (small)

PG: Roberts
SG: Rivers
SF: Tyreke
PF: Babbit
C: AD

against a bigger squad:

PG: Tyreke
SG: Morrow
SF: Aminu
PF: AD
C: Withey/Ajinca



(id rather not play roberts but we have no choice... THE ONLY WAY Steimsma sees the court is if AD , & Ajinca both get into early foul trouble.. which is pointless bc he avgs more fouls than he does pts it seems)


but with what we have to work with id go with these line ups.. really wish pierre would get a chance.

[SWAMPVIPER]

THIS SHOULD BE OUR ROSTER BECAUSE OF OUR INJURIES NOW

STARTERS
PG- RIVERS
SG- GORDON
SF- AMINU
PF- DAVIS
C - AJINCA

SECOND UNIT
PG- ROBERTS
SG- MORROW
SF- TYREKE
PF- BABBITT
C- WITHEY/STEAMER

END OF GAME
PG- ROBERTS
SG- GORDON
SF- TYREKE
PF- BABBITT
C- DAVIS

[new city champ]

From here out I'd be in evaluation mode, starting:

PG-Rivers
SG-Gordon
SF-Miller
PF-Davis
C-Withey

2nd Group:
PG-Roberts (though mainly shooting guard)
SG-Evans (though primary ball handler)
SF-Morrow (small line up/ lots of shooters for Reke)
PF-Babbitt
C-Ajinca

Floater: Aminu at SF/PF for defensive purposes as needed, but diminished minutes

EOTB: Steamer

I'd really like to see what Tyreke can do with more spacers on the floor. With this line up he'd have three legit 3-point shooters and a decent mid-range shooter in Ajinca. Defense might be an issue, but hey...

I'm down with this. Maybe let Ajinca start and platoon with Withey. But otherwise much better than Monty's bad mashups.
