argentinaworldchampion 32 Report post Posted November 20, 2021 I would try this lineup (if everyone was healthy): starting 5 c- wcj pf - isaac sf - f. wagner sg- okeke pg - anthony bench (numbered in terms of minutes to each one) 1- suggs 2- fultz 3- bamba 4- hampton 5- ross Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The spacing would be horrible because he doesn’t have a reliable jump shot outside of 15-17 feet. In this scenario he most certainly plays the 1 and you have Suggs playing the 2 because he would keep the defense much more honest than Fultz ever would. Also Okeke can’t play the 2 he would get beat off the dribble by the quicker guards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The lineup I’d be more excited about is Cole, Suggs, Franz, Isaac, Bamba But realistically, WCJ has a higher floor than Bamba so he’s probably the starter Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
All Eyes On Me 1,183 Report post Posted November 20, 2021 Gonna be a rough one tonight. Suggs starting at the 1 and backup 1 should be some form of RJ/Mulder Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If Fultz can regain his burst and is the same player before his injury I’d start him over Cole. Only reason is because we need scoring off the bench in the worst way possible and Fultz brings more balance to our starting unit. I know it would be hard to bench Cole with how well he’s been playing this year but he could still play heavy minutes as the first guy off the bench. Having Cole, Chuma, and Bamba playing with the 2nd unit would help us stay in games and build leads when we are up instead of the train wreck we have going on at the moment.

I didnt put fultz at SG, it was a minutes distribution, so in that case fultz would be the 2nd player with most minutes from the bench Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Still Okeke at the 2 wouldn’t work and until JI comes back he should be starting at the 3, Franz at the 4, WCJ should play the 5, and Bamba needs to move to the bench. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With that being said, I hope he hasn't lost a step after this injury. That's what made him so valuable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's what made him so valuable. its not about forgetting, its about seeing how he is in limited minutes and where we at regarding starting pg, because I think cole is the star of this team now. If he proves himself in limited minutes, then he could be starter again, but its no gimme Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
