Our 3rd and 4th Options 

Post#1 » by Quake Griffin » Sat Jul 6, 2019 2:02 pm

Lou = 3rd?
Shamet = 4th?

Wait.
Is Lou 2nd option to close games and George 3rd?

Let's figure this out.

In closing, I think we'll do the Warrior's thing: "Whoever is open."

My guess is that there will a lot of games where the final 5 is

Trezz
Harkless
Kawhi
PG
Lou

..and that team can spread the court, pass the ball, and score inside. I figure it'll be pretty egalitarian--and that's sort of the culture and dynamic we've been building anyway.

I feel like there may be another deal that could happen. We are extremely thin up front. We could flip Harkless and use JRob to try and get some front court help.

Can still bring back Green and Zubac as well as having Kabengele as insurance

3rd and 4th among starters should be Shamet then Zu. To end games George and Harrell

We're not that thin. Between the PF minutes that Harkless, PG, and Kawhi will play, 4500 or so minutes from Zu and Trezz, and Kabengele contributing some, I figure we need about 1500-2000 minutes in the frontcourt. I really think a vet (on a vet minimum) or someone younger on the room exception will end up with us. But, yeah, we may still have something cooking.

Sham in that Redick role is going to be huge.

Night in and night out, what are teams going to do to chase him around?

strictly speaking among the projected starters, and even tho I have stated my 'fun' rotations elsewhere, here i will go with what I think is most likely,

starting 5 of Pat Bev - PG13 - Kawhi - Mo - Zubac,

it's Kawhi > PG13 >> Mo > Zubac > Pat Bev

and among the closing 5, now it's Lou - PG13 - Kawhi - Mo - Trezz

still Kawhi > PG13 > Lou > Trezz > Mo
ehhhhh f it.

Shamet was in and out of the closing 5 last year, depending on the game situation

his floor spacing will help the others a lot

you might see Pat too, attacking the ball if we have the lead
