If Justise starts then who backs him up? Babbit? To me he seems like a tweeter. Also, I can't be the only one who thinks signing BOTH Williams and J.Johnson seems redundant. They seem to have very similar skill sets. And lastly, WHY WE HAVE SO MANY SHOOTING GUARDS?

J rich is interesting because he truly can play 3 position ( PG, SG and SF). I actually think J Rich should be in starting line up over TJ or Winslow due to his defense, ability to play with the ball or off the ball and his out side shooting. Having J Rich at SG or SF would make the starting line more dynamic because it would allow Dragic to be in scoring mode more while J Rich brings the ball up. TJ has shown he isn't a PG and Winslow shot has not arrived yet. I would also think Babbit would be a better fit at starting PF just because if Bosh isn't playing you would need someone that can space the floor to allow Dragic and Whiteside to work. Also using Babbitt in the starting line up with white side covers up Babbit's main weakness, lack of foot speed to stay in front of defenders. Williams, McBod, and Johnson are interchangeable to me depending on what you need in any given game off the bench. Johnson is the better defender of the three, while Williams is the better offensive player and McBod is more well rounded of the three.

I've seen people saying J RIch at SF and I don't see it at all, dude looked smaller than Wade out there.

Winslow is the SF and has to be committed to or this rebuild is even further behind than I fear

Jrich needs about 20 more pounds to play the wing and he's as much of a "PG" as Tyler. They both lack good decision making skills with the ball/aren't good playmakers.

They gon learn this year, they gon learn.

"Dragon & The Four Horseman" line up:
Dragic
TJ
J-Rich
Justise
Whiteside
This could also be a sweet band name. Feel free to use it.

Any 'Bulking up' that J Rich is going to do is going to be a gradual process that takes a few seasons to culminate. One summer is really only enough to put on 6-8lbs of lean muscle naturally.

Who said anything about it being natural? 8-)

Babbits, William, Bob, RealT, Rich, James Johnson (who dis?), Bosh, UD all tweeters by definition.

I heard/read somewhere that James Johnson is specifically created to guard LBJ, but we'll see about that.

Dragic
Rich
Winslow
Derrick Williams
Whiteside

I think Spo starts with this lineup. They want to make Williams a 3 point shooter. If he and Winslow improve, that's a good lineup.

If they can't, we can always go full shooting mode for stretches :

Dragic
TJ
Rich
Babbit
Hassan

We'll have some nice versatility this year, almost everyone besides Dragic and Hassan can be interchangeable.

Winslow, Richardson, and Johnson, all need to be committed to, or we're just spinning our wheels. They all need to play > 30 minutes a game even if that means going small full time. Ellington shouldn't see the floor except in case of injury. And maybe even then.

Preach, although I don't see how they all 3 could play 30 unless the rotations are being hinged somewhere
