    Would rather not try to predict the lineups Monty will use. Could drive me crazy! I'd rather be shocked and surprised when it happens then be angry the entire off-season thinking about it. Maybe, just maybe, the lineups will be what I want to see.

    top 9 players
    AD, Asik, Ryno, Reke, Gordon, Jrue, Rivers, Salmons and Miller(or Ajinca)

    I predict starting line up
    Asik/AD/Salmon/Gordon/Jrue

    with Reke/Ryno/Rivers

    We will ALWAYS keep 3 shooters on the floor to provide spacing for AD and guards

    Specialist
    Ajinca - length
    Rabbitt/Jimmer - 3 pointer
    Miller - Emergency D/SF
    Young or Withey - Emergency big

    inactive
    Russ/Young or Withey

    If this group play hard on D they're almost as good as any other team.

    Good 1st post, I think you got the roles described just about perfectly. As good as any team though, fingers crossed.
    It's that the Hornets unashamedly quit so quickly in Game 4 after fans in New Orleans showed up this season with greater regularity than the team could have ever dreamed, shaming misinformed know-it-alls like me who kept telling you that local residents couldn't possibly invest their time and money into something as trivial as rooting for the local basketball team while still recovering from the devastation of Hurricane Katrina. - Mark Stien ESPN

    Dont be surprised if we see Rivers, Jimmer, Evans off the bench playing together a lot. It makes a lot of sense when you think about it. Similar to having roberts rivers and evans off the bench but jimmer can shoot way better than roberts. I think the players off the bench will be determined by who we play and what we need on the court at that time.

    Jrue / Austin / Russ
    Gordon / Salmons
    Reke / Miller
    AD / Ryno
    Asik / Ajinca / Withey / Young

    ** Inactive: Jimmer / Babbitt

    Depending on the matchups... Jimmer would be active and a big (wither Withey or Young) would go inactive.

    Here's my stab at lineups/ rotations.

    If I were the coach:

    Holiday-Rivers-Russ
    Gordon-Jimmer
    Evans-Salmons-Miller*
    AD-Ryno
    Asik-Ajinca-Young-Withey*

    * = inactive (no players to dleague)



    What I think Monty will do:

    Holiday-Gordon-Salmons-AD-Asik

    Around 5-6mins Evans enters for Salmons.
    Around 8-10mins Ryno enters for Asik (AD moves to center), Rivers enters for Holiday, and Jimmer for Gordon
    2nd quarter starts with Rivers-Jimmer-Evans-Ryno-Asik/Ajinca
    Rotations for 2nd quarter not going to even guess but around 5 mins our core guys should be in that will be in at the end of the game.

    I can see some scenarios where when our backups are in, Russ enters the game and Rivers moves to the 2.

    No clue who Monty will have inactive, but I don't think he sends anyone to dleague.

    Tyreke and Salmons are the same height so I don't see him starting him over Reke. Maybe if we had more of a true sf he would but I think this was done on purpose by Dell to force Monty to start Reke.

    A couple things here:

    You have 108 min going to bigs. So that means you have either AD or Ryno at the 3 for at least 12 mins per game. I tend to disagree that will happen, but we will see.

    It's rare that a guy is a part of the rotation, but only gets 4 minutes. Not even enough time to get him semi warmed up. How would you see that playing out over the course of the game? 2 mins a half, just at the end of the quarter or something to give guys a rest. Would be odd to put a guy in at like the 9 min mark and take him out at the 7 min mark. Rarely, if ever, see that.

    Thanks for the critique. You definitely have some points. I'll give my reasoning, flawed as it may be.

    I wanted to give Jimmer the same "only plays if necessary" but thought I would get critiqued for that because Jimmer seems to be well-liked here. So I cut into Austin's minutes, which were originally 18.

    Also, I honestly was just really going for the minutes. I didn't think into the actual position designation for those minutes. If that's the case, I'll probably have to scale back someone's minutes, and I don't want to for anyone. The only big not vital to our success is Ajinca, so I'm not sure how we bring minutes down. Maybe give Asik 30 and give Salmons 2 more? Take a few from AD and Ryno?

    I think having Asik is going to allow us to do interesting things with AD that we weren't able to do before. I don't think it will be for extended time, but I do think we'll see those three together for at least a handful of minutes. Maybe it doesn't fit with my calculations, but I mostly threw them together.

    Perhaps Davis can play the 3 in our big line up of Holiday, Tyreke, Davis, Ryno, Asik



  14. #39
    That's the core: AD, Asik, Jrue
    Fill in the gaps, add some depth, get the best out of Gordon, and this is a top-5 in the west!

    I think his analysis is close. If you look at the average minutes of the centers under Monty, Asik will probably only get 28-30 minutes. Salmons will probably be closer to 16 minutes and Jimmer 0.
