Felder's not going to play 22 MIN tomorrow night when he just joined the team this week. It's also already been stated that he'll play spot minutes and won't be playing ahead of Arcidiacono as the backup PG (at least until he's caught up/up to speed). Also, I think KC said Pondexter still isn't ready.

The Pondexter era begins! Dude needs a nickname.

Q-Pon or "Coupon" because he was cheap?

(I'm not good at this).

No that is a good one.

This should be a good year to try and find a "diamond in the rough". The Bulls will have minutes due to injuries (and the suspension) and need to look to the future.

Will Blankeney, Nwaba, or Arcidiacono be solid NBA players in the future? If not, I'd like to see the Bulls rotate a roster spot or two from time to time throughout the season.

I'm not saying they'll find someone like Whiteside, but maybe they find a solid roster player or two that can grow with Markkanen, Zipser, Dunn, Felicio, and LaVine.

Wow!

Dunn, Lavine, Niko, Portis all out !!! This will help the tank.

That's much sooner than I expected. I'd go with:

Dunn / Holiday / Zipser / Markkanen / Lopez
Felder / Grant / Valentine / Pondexter / Felicio

I am really rooting for Dunn to start (and play well)!

Wouldn't it be something if Kay Felder ends up being our starting PGs instead of Dunn or Grant? That kid has lots of upside.

He won't be starting until he outplays Grant for at least a 5 game stretch.

I want... Dunn, Val, Holiday, Lauri, RoLo

When Lavine returns... Dunn, Lavine, Holiday, Lauri, RoLo... Lets spread the floor and play fast.

I think Archie is better as a PG than him.

I think Zipser needs to be in the 2nd team. 2nd team is very weak
and whatever the rotation is, just please don't send the 2nd unit all in!!

TimRobbins · Post #51 » by **TimRobbins** » Fri Oct 20, 2017 7:51 am

Why not get somebody from the D-League?

sco · Post #52 » by **sco** » Fri Oct 20, 2017 1:34 pm

I hope that Grant moves back to the 2nd unit when Dunn returns. Grant isn't a playmaker, but the 2nd unit needs more 2-way guys.

Once Zach and Bobby come back, we can roll with:

Dunn, Zach, Holiday, Lauri, RoLo
Grant, Valentine, Zipser, Bobby, Kris
I might want to see Nwaba instead of Valentine or Portis (with Zipser at the PF) depending how inept the Bobby/Kris pairing is.

Well,since our player availability is a bit punchy at the moment...

Grant/Felder
Holiday/Valentine
Pondexter/Valentine
Lauri/Zipser
Lopez/Felicio

Safe to say Felder has moved ahead of Arcidiacono.

League Circles · Post #55 » by **League Circles** » Fri Oct 20, 2017 2:47 pm

I like Grant but I really think he should mostly split SG minutes with Holiday, with Valentine spelling Zipser at SF until Lavine is back, at which point we'll have enough info to know who to exclude.

Dunn and Felder at PG, please. No more Ryan.

Peak strength, 4th and final Frieza form.

Dunn / Grant / Felder
Lavine / Valentine / Nwaba
Holiday / Zipser / Pondexter
Markkanen / Mirotic / Portis
Lopez / Felicio / Portis

Guys to try and trade (in this order):
Grant
Mirotic
Portis
Lopez
Holiday

If any of them can net a future first, you take it.

I Would go along the lines of that, except changing Grant and Felder, giving Grant SG time and givin Nwaba SF time. There would be one excess of 2/3 spots though... trade?

Man I hope Felder is allowed to compete for regular rotation minutes...

I think it's a foregone conclusion based on last night. He's the backup PG until Dunn's ready to play. I think he'll continue to get 15-20 MPG until Dunn's back. We'll see what he can do in that time and then reevaluate when Dunn's ready.
