PG- Lance Stephenson/T.J Ford/A.J Price
Note: I believe that Lance can be a starting PG in the NBA. Since we couldn't pick up anyone from the FA and i doubt we will then he seems like the right choice. He just needs to improve his handles and be more basketball smart and then we could be in great shape. I think that A.J Price should be the starting point guard once he is healthy because he seemed very promising at the end of the season showing that he has what it takes. That would then make Lance 2nd string and T.J Ford 3rd string. I believe the Earl Watson will not be returning so that's why he is not in the lineup.
SG- Paul George/Dahntay Jones/Brandon Rush
Note: I believe we should have Paul George starting SG because then we could create havoc with other teams because we have both Paul and Danny on the floor. I loved how Paul played defense in the summer league and he could learn from a great defender, Dahntay Jones. Both Paul and Dahntay can share minutes and possibly Brandon Rush if he can show that he'll show up every game and put up some solid numbers.
SF- Danny Granger/Mike Dunleavy
Note: Its a no brainer about Danny starting at SF and then having Mike Dunleavy as his backup. I think that Mike and Paul could Possibly switch positions so that Mike could start SG and Paul could be behind Danny Granger at SF sharing some minutes.
PF- Troy Murphy/Tyler Hansbrough/Josh McRoberts/Magnum Rolle
Note: Troy Murphy should be starting PF and I think that Tyler should be 2nd string because he is such a great player he just had the ear infection/concussion. I think that he can come back 110% and show that he could put up major minutes this year. I think that Josh is improving very well but he needs more time and Magnum is showing that he can be a great player and could possibly start this position in 2-3 years.
C- Roy Hibbert/Jeff Foster/Solomon Jones
Note: Roy should be starting here hands down but to hear about his knee injury makes me cringe. Its good to know that he does not need surgery on the knee but hopefully he is fully recovered by the beginning of the season. He also needs to get a lot stronger. I think that Jeff should be 2nd String because of the experience he has. I believe he has about 1-2 years left in him and he'll give it all he's got these last years. Hes a solid rebounder and a warrior in the post. I've always liked him and I hope he does well. Solomon Jones has the chance to have a solid career but he too needs more time to develop.
There you have it, that's my two cents about the starting lineups. Hopefully next year in the FA they can get a solid veteran point guard or possibly pick one up in a trade this year. I also wouldn't mind having another PF or C added to the roster.
