My problem is with the backcourt
Suggs is a good player but he is not a sure thing to me
Cole is 6th man type of player, 100% sure not a starter
Fultz is a maybe, I really hope he can be our Starting PG
RJ is VERY VERY RAW

So I d rather go after an Alpha SG (either via Draft or trade)



You made:

Fultz/Anthony
Alpha SG/Suggs/Hampton
F-Wagner
Isaac/Okeke
Carter/M-Wagner

I am really quite happy with that. For example, if Orlando could flip Harris, Ross, and the 2022 FRP for Brown, the above is a nice roster for me. It needs a natural SF and a combo forward; a MLE and a LLE vet serves on both. And some-goof-off 3rd string Center (yes I mean a Lopez type). But that is probably a playoff contender for 2022/23 and is a very reasonable roster to consider.

Fultz is coming back. If RJ is healthy, we have 4 rotational Point Guards on the roster. I think all four are going to be part of my rebuild. Fultz showed flashes of brilliancy before he got injured. Let's say we trade away Harris, and Ross plus brining in a Alpha SG.
If that is the case, 3 guard lineup is a way to go.

But I am so excited about Fultz return. I wanted to trade him. But he is the only True PG on the team. Let's just wait and see

If the goal is losing, then Anthony/Suggs/Fultz/F-Wagner/Isaac as our starting five achieves that goal.

Fultz is coming back. RJ is coming back. Isaac may come back. Maybe we really bought into this 3 Guard Lineup plus Franz and Wendell. Small ball lineup with a lot of speed and ball handling. We can win some games with this!

There are rumors Fultz will be back this week, per Terrence Ross.

How are we going to distribute Playing Time?

3 Guard lineup plus Franz and Wendell?
