Anyone have a breakdown on the coaching staff? I don't recognize anyone other then Steve Clifford.

[Driguez]

Only Bamba is taller than Isaac.
Gordon is the same height as Birch, meaning he is a legit 6'9" (the same height as Dwight Howard, by the way).
Augustin is a full head shorter than the other four starters.


p.s. it looks like Mozgov is photobombing this photo. Get used to this ????

I was looking at Gordon's pic's, wondering if he has grown. It sure looks that way.

Thought the same, on this pic his arms also look buffer. Maybe it's the pic.

Gordon is clearly the same height as Birch. That is a solid 6' 9" That's the same height as Karl Malone and is 2 inches taller than Draymond Green.


Gordon has a clear height expected of old-school PFs. In the modern NBA, he is actually tall for a PF.

With each passing year I'm caring less and less about the "hype". This team is still projected to be a lower lottery team and still in a transition phase with the roster.

Im actually excited to see the Isaac and Bamba combination. But how long that will last or how long i can endure the other players remains to be seen

I think Coach Clifford will test this line up:
Augustin/Gordon/Isaac/Vučević/Bamba

As an in game, bench rotated-in, that roster does have shooting. Gordon is proven capable of guarding SGs, Isaac has the lateral quickness to guard (some) Sfs and Vučević seems capable of guarding the PF slot.

Those five in spot minutes are unguardable on offense.
