Nice.

Love to hear it!

What do you think about the noise coming out of DD and Ris starting?

I'll never understand why famed millionaires in their 20s dress like hobos when they go to the club...

(I'd be decked out like 1980s Eddie Murphy every time i left the house in their position.)

I haven't seen anything concrete. I know they ran with the starters in a few variations during camp.

If they look ready, go for it.

But I'm mostly focused on Atlanta jumping out of the barely .500 club and into the 45-50 win tier of East Teams. That requires a fast start and vets familiar with Quin's system and each other.

I also don't believe the starters in October will or should be the same starters in April. If we focus on starting strong and getting into the top-4 of the Conference from the beginning, we can adjust the starting lineup as the young guys get more acclimated to the team later in the year.

Agreed with all of this.
And to Quin's point in the video above, there is so much flexibility in the lineups at SG and SF there is still a lot left to figure out with regards to chemistry and who works best with whom etc. This was just one of the lineups in Day 3:
