I think Pat is perfectly fine as a safe choice since he's reliable and we know what we have but I'll be pretty pumped if we went with one of AJJ, Marjon or AJ Green. If nothing else, it would signify to me a ballsy and forward thinking/innovative(?) coaching staff. It's really easy to do the safe thing (and obviously sometimes that's the right choice) but sometimes the highest upside play is not always obvious to everyone else before it happens.

We could trot out Yi's chair in the 5th spot and still win regular season games at a good rate, it's the perfect opportunity to try an upside play with little risk

Beasley, with Pat behind him. MarJon hasn't earned it (yet), so he shouldn't be given it.

If Alex Caruso and Ben Simmons mated.

Another poster mentioned earlier thst if beasley would start n hit 36% of his 3s hes not sure that make a big deal in the starting 5 aginst a D.Now if Green were to start his 65% make rate on open 3s would absolutely space that floor like nothing ive seen before in milwaukee n if he could hit mid 40s on 2s that would really make that bucks O almost impossible to stop

Yi's chair? Ladder should be in the poll!

All the way with Dre!

What did Giannis and Dame vote?

One maybe underrated aspect is that Payne, Beasley and Crowder are all playing for contracts next year + 2nd year Marjon. My guess is Lillard plays 60-65 games so there is plenty of opportunity for one of these guys to show up and get themselves an overpay next year from someone.

I think Giannis should be the 5th starter and one of the guys on that list should be the 1st starter.

Fine. Let's go Brook 5th, Giannis 4th, Dame 3rd, Midds 2nd, and random guy 1st. 6th man will be the first player off the bench.

Would this board be disappponted if dame only played 60-65 games dont you have to play minimum 65 to be considered for any awards

I think that actually describes Livingston pretty well. Him and Thanasis have similar size, length, and hops.

They both embrace contact and can play the dunker spot well.

Thanasis with court awareness and bball iq is an NBA player, and the more I see of Chris, the more I think he will carve out a role in the league.

I like AJ. He knows his role. His shooting is elite and he can get his shot off quick and over any defender. I don't think his defense is as big of a concern as early last year. He looks like he's put on 10 lbs of muscle. He'll give max effort and play well enough within the defensive scheme.
