Starting unit

[kololoco]

I must admit I am a fan of Milos, and I was shocked that both Austin and Avery got the nod to be in the starting five in front of him since I consider him the superior player to both, and more importantly a better fit to play alongside each of them, than Avery and Austin together.

They haven't played a lot yet (62 mins), but that starting line up with Austin and Bradley has the best numbers of any line up currently available. They have a NetRtg of +13.7 and a DRtg of 90.3 which are really good numbers.

I also like Milos/Bradley more for the starting unit though, at least on paper.

I think Austin has some real pluses to his driving/shooting/defensive game but I'd rather see Milo, Harris, or Lou distribute the ball as playmakers.

MIlos is playing hurt. he is not 100% from any of his injuries he has supposed to have suffered. either that he is out of shape, because he is on 15 minute-ish playing time limits. I'm leaning towards the injury hypothesis.

I think Milos may claw his way back into the starting lineup as he gets healthier. However, Austin x Bradley makes for a much better defensive backcourt. Plus Austin is currently a better shooter than Milos at the NBA level.

I am secretly hoping we not only make the playoffs, but Beverly makes it back just before the playoffs.

just imagine the

Beverly-Avery-Harris-DJ defense. I think Gallo at 4 will do at least average.

not that I am wishing or anything, but if Blake goes under for several weeks as he usually does by this time around a season, the Pistons can drop in the rankings and turn into a maybe not golden, but a silver goose egg.

I want Bev back too, although the logistics of distributing mins for Bev/Austin/Bradley/Milos/Lou will be very tough. Also, Wallace will be out of the rotation altogether.

[Neddy]

there is always next season.

once Avery leaves after FA, the rotation will consolidate itself just fine. plus, I think Wallace can play 3 imo.

I think Milos will come off the bench until he is able to play 30 minutes a game, every game. He doesn't look like he can play more than 15-20 minutes at the moment.

It would have been really cool to have Beverly/Bradley backcourt too.
