I dont think Wiggins returns for the Bucks game (unless thats being reported) because Kerr usually wants them to have a full practice before jumping back into the game.. but if he does, and if Podz is healthy.. who starts?

Assuming that Curry/Dray/Kuminga are locked into the lineup, I think the best idea would be Moody and Wiggins. But I'd be fine with Podz/Wiggins as well. The main thing is to not let Klay back into that spot, and there's still a chance Kerr does that. Right now the hierarchy seems to be Podz/Wiggins/Klay/Moody in terms of starting, but I'm just hoping against hope that Moody has supplanted Klay in terms of who starts

He is back at the practice facility now. So really not much happened, we were fine and now he's back. I don't think we lost any games we would have won if he was here. Hope everyone can move forward and support Wiggins.

It may have even been positive, as Steve was forced to play Moody who I assume Steve is now forced to play (I think, sigh).

Yea i think Kerr said Wiggins is playing on Wednesday. I'm guessing that means Podz and Wiggins starts. Moody back to dnps

Good he's back but he'll probably be rusty as hell for a week or two, which we can't afford. He needs to come off the bench and earn minutes slowly.

DonaldSanders · Post #107 » by **DonaldSanders** » Tue Mar 5, 2024 9:41 pm

I don't see why he would be so rusty or out of shape taking one week off and getting two days of practice? Worst case Moody starts or splits time with Wiggins.

Actually I hope he sits for a game or two to make sure he's ready to play. Just glad he's back with enough time for him to ramp back up.

Hell yeah Wiggins.

Needs to take a couple hundred jump shots today and tomorrow.

Biggest issue for him has been his shooting and he was starting to recover as well as go downhill with more force than he was doing in the first half of the season.

Great news. Hope all is good with his family, or at least he's been able to help get things in a place/situation that works for them.

Looks like we have a clean injury report for the first time this year.

Further support of Moody starting - if Kerr wants 2 handlers on the court at any given time, makes more sense to have Podz off the bench than Moody.

Curry / Moody / Wiggins / Kuminga / Dray ----> 2 handlers
CP3 / Podz / Klay / Saric / TJD ---> 2 handlers (and sprinkle in GP2 wherever, he'll fit just fine)

Sorry for Q, Gui and Looney, but thats all the rotation we need

They have also used wiggins to bring the ball up more just to pass half court. Then he just passes it off right away. I think it's something kerr was experimenting with knowing he might need more size for the play off push.

I love the moody, dray, and wiggins defensive trio. I'd love a little tjd sprinkled in there with those 3 as well.

It should be this, but, you know....Kerr.

This is the dream. But Kerr is a dream killer

Saric has really been fading as the season has progressed and I could see him falling in the pecking order behind TJD if he doesn't regain some of that early season production.

Hopefully the family matter gets better for Andrew. Could be part of last season’s absence as well, if so could be quite bad for a family member.

Good to have him back.
