Jumping the gun a bit, I'll admit, but if Isaac is back and looking like his old self (hopefully a lot more sturdy), what does our new rotation look like? I have two ideas, one more traditional smaller ball; one more super-length. I'm not including K Harris and Schofield, as they need to go to Lakeland sometime. Traditional Fultz/Anthony Harris/Suggs/Hampton F Wagner/Ross/Houstan Banchero/Bol/Okeke Isaac/Carter/M Wagner This pretty much leaves Bamba as the odd man out. Super-length starting lineup/defense Fultz/Anthony/Suggs F Wagner/Harris/Hampton Banchero/Ross/Houstan Isaac/Bol/Okeke Carter/M Wagner/Bamba The disadvantage of this is the 2nd group has no real defensive presence. Obviously, when(!?!) Isaac comes back he will probably be on a strict minutes restriction to begin with, and will probably play a lot more with the 2nd unit.

OnlyFranz 292 Report post Posted January 10, 2023 If Isaac can come back and stay healthy he’s going to be the missing piece we’ve been needing on the defensive end. He will be our rim protector and defensive anchor which will allow us to play on the fast break where Markelle excels at facilitating. Not to mention how his offensive game was improving before he got injured so anything he contributes there is definitely a bonus. Hope Isaac can get back on this team ASAP!

All Eyes On Me 1,210 Report post Posted January 10, 2023 I really don’t wanna be the Debbie downer here, but I just want to give my 2 cents. The best approach for JI is that we have no idea who he is as a ball player anymore. He hasn’t played competitive basketball in 30 months. If he can make it back to what he used to be pre-injury (which mind you, was still very much a project player with high upside), I don’t expect it to happen quickly. I’m choosing the expect the worst and hope for the best mentality personally, but I also don’t wanna pee in anyone’s corn flakes who chooses to approach it differently 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As long as he focuses on what he's always done well which is defend and forgets the meaning of the stupid eurostep then he'll be an asset. He's also bulked up quite a bit so obviously staying healthy is gonna be key for him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

After paying him what, 30-40 million to see if he has anything left? Foolish. If he can come back stronger and ready he is a no brainer. Worth the gamble at this point. I don’t want to watch another grant hill situation. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
