Dc's Pre-Pre-season predicted line-ups and seedings- EAST

[8305]

Its too early to do this for most teams. Too many free agents unsigned and their ultimate destinations could have a significant impact on the standings.

I am inclined to agree that Jones could start over Rush though. I expect Rush would get more minutes much the same way minutes were allocated to JR Smith in Denver. If Jones is really a lock down defender you want him guarding the opposing teams best offensive player at positions 1, 2 or 3. If Jones comes off the bench the rotations will limit the opportunity to guard this player. That was probably the logic of his starting in Denver last year even though he rarely played much more than 20 minutes per game. This strategy would take some pressue off Granger in that he wouldn't draw the toughest defensive assignment at the outset of most games.

As noted earlier the Pacer's likely second unit would include Watson, Foster and either Hansbrough or McRoberts. This group could use the scoring help Rush would provide. Once Dunleavy returns this dynamic could change.

From everything I have heard the Wiz are going with mcgee.

That hasn't even been discussed.

Brendan Haywood is the undisputed starting center for the Wizards.
