Prince is paid to function for any unit. I don’t wanna hear he can’t perform with certain units, he’s paid big bucks to perform in any role.

(Not going at you Dark, that was more of a post rant against Prince who has clearly not measured up since acquisition)
I know, but he's clearly not worth what he is paid. The best we can do is put him in strong lineups that minimize his weaknesses, and limit him to catch & shoot opportunities & defense. In that bench unit, Levert's struggles are hurting others too, and the offense is horrendous as a result.

Levert’s overuse of tunnel vision does effect the other 2nd unit guys... that is true...

LeVert has hurt everyone in the 2nd unit with his garbage hero ball.

I just feel like moving in Brown and Allen is enough change to the lineup.

I think Prince starts since he's probably KDs replacement. Joe was sacrificed because I think they wanted more size with Prince on the wing.

With KD back I can see: KI, BB, JH/JG, KD, Fro

Gobert has always dominated Allen. Hoping for better this game.

Definitely missed that. Din was our fastest player, so nice to have that element again. He also has the size and strength to help on the boards.
