The depth on this team is pretty impressive. But given the roster limitations who is not going to make the team?

LOCKS:
Tobias
Lou Will
Gortat
Trezz
LRMM
Wes
PatBev
Danilo
Avery Bradley
Jerome Robinson
SGA
Mike Scott
Milos

Near Lock:
Boban

That only leaves one roster spot for:
Jawun Evans
Sindarius Thornwell
Tyrone Wallace

It feels like it almost has to be Evans based on roster construction. But MAN, he is an NBA player.

Yeah, it's probably gonna be Jawun.

Looks like Sindarius has a better chance of cracking the rotation at the wing if a lot of injuries happen, but Jawun wouldn't even get garbage minutes if half the roster was in the infirmary. Just too many guys that can play at his position.

I wish they can start trading guys for future value as soon as, but looking at yesterday's game, it seems like the way they planned the roster, Jerome, Sin, Ty, Motley, none of those guys are gonna see gametime. And that's before Milos gets healthy and Wes inevitably finds his way into the rotation.

Left out Tyrone Wallace, who I'd imagine is a lock. Matching his contract and cutting him would be a really bad look. Unless they're willing to eat Wes' $6+M or Boban's $7M, it looks like BOTH Jawun and Thornwell.


Jerry, if you're reading this, the Rockets have TPE's for both

I knew I was forgetting someone. I mean I was thinking Motley might make the roster but there aren't spots available for anyone at this point.

Evans (just too many guards) and, hopefully, WeJo.

Ideally I'd want as many wings as possible. But idk. It's honestly hard to tell. I think we can all agree that Jawun is unfortunately the odd man out, and I'd prefer Wes too. But Wes is valuable for his low post defense. I don't want to trade Sin because I think he's gonna be a good role player. Ty would seem stupid to cut. To be honest, there seems like there's no real place for Milos anymore but who knows at this point.

I thought the OP's math was little funny, glad someone corrected it.

No mention of Jawun. At this point, if Jawun makes the team it'll be surprising to everyone.
