It will be RJ but like many have said I like Ochai there to balance it out. Kobe someday.
2019 Eastern Conference All Stars

Derozan
Lowry
Ibaka
Valanciunas
Van Vleet
Delon Wright
Lebron
Embiid

There are only 2 teams in the league that rank in the top 6 in offensive and defensive efficiency: the Golden State Warriors and the Toronto Raptors.

Did you see Scottie play PG this year? It was a turnover fest.

Ya. You need role guys to do role things around your stars. I actually think Ochai would be a fine starter in RJ or even IQ's spot, but i dont think all 4 of our main ball handlers should start the game together.

It is moot tho, as they will all start. And thats fine, cause i dont see all 3 of RJ/IQ/Ingram here long term. At least one of them will be gone by the 2026 offseason unless we really surprise and are a top team next year (you never know)

Minutes, Usage, and average of BPM/EPM/DPM/LEBRON:


Barrett (24): 33.3mpg, 27.9usg%, -0.4

Basically league average in a frontline starting role.

Agbaji (24): 27.8mpg, 13.6usg%, -1.9
Dick (21): 29.9mpg, 21.7usg%, -2.3
Walter (20): 19.2mpg, 18.0usg%, -2.7

All 3 well below average even in more limited part time roles.
