That way we get bigger as we sub people in.

Lol @ thinking Mogbo is anywhere near ready to start and over Poeltl who is easily our 4th best player lol.

It is not that I think you are wrong but if you can refrain from mentioning stuff like Yak being our clear 4th best player, I'd appreciate it.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

Whoever the fifth starter is doesn't really matter much. More important, is probably the lack of a second unit.

Mogbo's a decent option if we go small. He's also got decent synergy with Scottie, unlike Yak,

Mogbo lacks A LOT of basketball skills. He needs a full year in the G League and we'll reassess his nba capabilities then lol

He's got lots of time with our franchise player. All he has to do is set picks and rebound.

We are not a good team man... we're gonna need him to do A LOT more than that. Let him develop some offensive skills with the 905 and we'll see where he is at the end of this year/start of next year. Just my 2 cents.

If he's the 5th, it'll be like what...6 minutes to start? More touches for Grady or whomever.

Mogbo is far away from being a good NBA offensive player, but physically he is NBA ready and his defensive instincts are ok.

I don't think the G League helps bigs. He just really needs to learn to shoot and pull back on handling the ball so much. He is Precious part two.

I just worry with having him, Jamal and Ochai on court the spacing will suck even with Gradey and Kelly on court. Also, if Scottie is playing with the bench he needs shooters.

Do we know if RJ, KO or Brown will be ready to start the season?

RJ, Bruce and JaKobe aren't going to be ready to start the season, and KO is doubtful.

So they will have no choice but to keep Fernando

IQ/Mitchell/Carton
Dick/Shead
Agbaji/Mogbo
Scottie/Chris
Poeltl/Fernando

I guess that's the rotation for opening night :lol:

Yeah this is pretty much it minus Boucher and Carton. Going to be a 9 man rotation with the primary bench unit being Scottie+bench. When healthy, RJ+Brown+Olynyk will likely oust Fernando+Mogbo+Shead from the rotation.
