Starting Five

It also looks like, at least in certain matchups, that the idea of I-Jax playing 4 isn't completely dead?

Thoughts?......

I don't think any lineup is completely dead. I expect we'll experiment.

I also expect to read more from CC on this topic soon,

Article from the IndyStar saying essentially the same thing. Coach is going to play the guys that defend, and experiment with the lineups to get what he wants.

Call me crazy, but I'm almost ready to retry Smith starting at the 4. The defense can't really get much worse no matter what, and it could really help with rebounding. He is shooting the ball a lot better this year, which is the reason we went away from it last year.

Obi may or may not ever make it as a starter. Smith showed promise.
