Sixth man.

[pacers33]

So basically, who's our sixth man this year? Posey or Leavy?

[Indy2thaWindy]

We don't have one. We need to get one. If I had to pick, I'd say Dahntay Jones.

[glasket]

Mikey D

[Miller4ever]

Foster or Dunleavy. Posey's seen a lot of drop-off in his game. I don't think he will rack up a few DNP-CD's this season.

[Moooose]

Magnum Rolle!

I don't think we really have one. I'd say Foster or Ford because they'll get the most consistent backup minutes. Hansbrough will be backed by J-Mac and (for whatever reason) Solomon Jones, Danny will be backed by Posey and Dunleavy and SG will be backed by Rush and Dahntay (unless JOB randomly gives DJ the cold shoulder throughout the season and gives him a DNP-CD.)

[mizzoupacers]

I'd like to see Dunleavy as our sixth man, but the way I see it, he's going to start if he proves he's got his game back.

Rush is going to start if Dunleavy is ineffective, but he's probably the leading candidate for sixth man if Dunleavy starts.

Sadly, I don't think Foster can stay on the court enough any more to be the sixth man (due to health reasons). But I hope he proves me wrong.

[colts2004]

If Foster is healthy and Dunleavy has his shot back it will between them, unless Dunleavy starts.

You never know, Paul George might be the 6th man by the end of the season if not a starter

[Miller4ever]

I want George to be good and starting by the All-Star break.

[pacers33]

Paul George as a starter at the all star break is our best case scenario.

[PaceWalker]

I want George to be good and starting by the All-Star break.

You might be getting your hopes up too much. You have to remember he is only 20 and could take longer to develop.

[chube]

^^^ True, Pacewalker. Plus, we can't bank on that considering how inconsistent JOB is with playing time for every player not named Granger. Heck, he even started Solomon Jones once last year over a healthy Roy Hibbert. In fact, 60-something games into last year, he was even quoted as saying that he was still trying to find the right lineup. 60-SOMETHING GAMES IN!!!

[Miller4ever]

George will start at least 10 games this season. That's my prediction.

Dunleavy is going to be the first man off the bench.

[Val Holliday]

dunleavy will undoubtedly be the first off the bench to start the year. after that...who knows.

[ziplockfresh]

Paul George as a starter at the all star break is our best case scenario.

Lance>George.

[Wizop]

I think Dunleavy starts and Rush is the 6th man. who is it in first games when Rush is out? could be TJ.

[Miller4ever]

Mcbob/Hansbrough. Right now it's looking like whoever doesn't start there becomes a main guy off the bench.

[jowglenn]

Way I see it, we probably won't have a '6th man' as much as we'll have a full-on 2nd unit. We've got depth, and we'll probably want to play as many of those guys as possible, at least to showcase them for trades and determine their place on the team and in the future.

Though if anyone is going to be a 6th man it'll be Rush or Dunleavy. Assuming George is not ready to get minutes, then whichever one of those guys doesn't start is probably going to get the majority of backup minutes on the wing.
