if DDV isn't interested and Other Brown out of the price-range though, I'm not opposed to taking a shotgun approach with young players that presumably have untapped potential. Right now, the first 7 man rotation is set: Conley/Ant/Jaden/Kat/Gobert/Naz/SloMo, and I think everybody is also ready to give Minott a little taste to see what he can do, and we still got Miller looming in the distance. That's pretty much all the 3/4/5 minutes. We're left with a handful of backup guard minutes. Throw Moore, Brown, NAW, and eventually Clark, into a competition and let the best man win. I'm reasonably confident in finding quality minutes in that group of players. If nothing else, I think they've got the pieces in place to create a dominant defense.
And that doesn't even take into account the team potentially playing SloMo at PG to help get him his minutes. We have a lot of bigger defenders that can defend opposing PGs no problem, so it opens up the possibility to play really big lineups.
