But regardless, I don't think it will happen anyway, since Saric has been an effective starter on a solid Philly team, and for much of his career. I'm impressed with Cam, but all he really provides is shooting, and some occasionally nice passes.
It gives Rubio another target for passes, and he opens up the paint for Ayton, and he forces teams to guard him, and not slack off to help double Booker. Cam has really played harder since coming back from the injury. He seems to be moving better both on offense and defense. I like the idea of Bridges working with Cam and get him to a new level.
Speaking of shooting, he is shooting 50% from three since the Allstar game.
Dario is just too slow. He tries hard, but just isn't a starter. I would much rather start pushing Cam to see what else he can do. We have seen that he is improving at just playing in the NBA. Lets surround him with our starters, and see what we have. Saric, we know what we have, a solid bench player, who can play the 4-5 spot, and he can play just fine coming off the bench. We just have to give him more mins off the bench, hence the smaller rotation.
Saric isn't much of a rebounder, so we aren't losing much there, and looking at the Piston line up, I would rather have Bridges hounding Wood, which I think is their best front court player at this point. Saric is slow getting out on shooters and doesn't make up for that with massive boarding or blocks. We have created a nice team dynamic with starting out as a run and gun team, it seems like a step backwards to go back to a traditional line up, with a slower forward.
But hey, lets go back to those slow starts and try and come back from behind. Then we will finish quarters and the game with the line up I am pushing....again.

So what is the over/under of games it will take to get to this?
Well I guess all I can hope for is that Dario doesn't go 1-7 again, forcing other guys to try and take too many forced shots to make up for it.
