Will he get back to the bench after Hendo or Augustin come back?

Depends on Maggette. If Maggette is still out when Hendo comes back (which seems unlikely now) then Reggie will likely shift to the 3. Assuming Maggette, Hendo, and DJ are all healthy, I would imagine Kemba and Reggie would both be on the bench. He would still get his fair share of minutes, I would imagine.

I agree that he'll return to the bench once Maggs and Gerald return, but at least that means we won't be playing TT or Diaw at the 3 anymore.

At least thats good.

DJ----------------Kemba
Hendo----------Reggie
Maggs-----------UPS
Tyrus------------Bismack
Boris-------------Mullens


Is our second unit better than our first?

I don't think Biz will be moving out of the starting lineup and back to PF. Silas wants him at C and I don't think you start him now only to move him back in favor of something you already saw doesn't work. Biz will stay the center with Diaw probably going back to the bench.

That is a pretty solid 2nd unit though. Shouldn't lack a scoring punch, that's for sure.

I wouldn't mind benching Maggs' soft ass. **** him and his 20 mil contract, I'd rather watch Reggie play more minutes as he's somebody who I'd like to see sticking in Charlotte for some time.

Probably shake out in terms of Reggie playing to get a lead and Maggs playing to hold it.

DJ > Kemba
Hendo is close to Reggie, different skillsets.
UPS is better than Maggs I think.
Biz and Tyrus are about equal at this point.
Boris is still a special player when he's on.

it would be very interested to see what lineup and rotations silas would use going forward if he had everyone healthy. dj and hendo are about the only guaranteed starters.

i'm thinking it would be:

1st unit: dj, hendo, maggette, diaw, biyombo
2nd unit: kemba, reggie, brown, tyrus, mullins
no unit: white, carroll, higgins, diop, najera

diaw, tyrus, biz or white... this would be dilemma for silas i think. how does he rank them?

Reggie is a perfect piece coming off the bench, Reggie at some point in the future could be a sixth man winner.

Hendo definitely starts at the two when back & we have to start Maggette so his trade value doesn't bottom out. (Same as Tyrus at the moment.)

Reggie has a massive role to play on our team & I think he is the perfect leader for our bench unit.

Augustin-Henderson, Maggette, Diaw, Biyombo
Kemba-Williams-Brown-White-Mullens

Trade Tyrus please.
