That starting lineup has been too small and lacks length.

If KBD can continue the play we saw last night - I'd rather see him start at the 4 spot, move KD to the 3.Their length and athleticism will help cover up some of the deficiencies Nurk has on D.

I'm really hoping Metu starts to see some minutes for us.

My projected lineups for the playoffs which will go 9 deep at most. This is an extremely small lineup but I just don't think our backup bigs as it stands can hold up in the playoffs. So we'll have to live with KD as the backup 5 and rely on pace and shooting.

Starters
Nurk
KD
KBD
Booker
Beal

Bench
Yuta
Little/Okogie
EG/Allen
Goodwin

As it stands our roster is unbalanced, we have too many 6'5 and under guys that are good enough to deserve minutes but not enough 6'8 and over guys. Not sure if Grayson can be traded but he's the obvious guy to cast out there to bring back a bigger wing, I think we should be active in the buyout market as well for a 5.

Why Vogel even try start with Yuta ? I don’t understand this
