Yeah, but a lot of people said there was no way Ingram wouldn't start last year.
We have a similar situation this season at the 4. You have Randle/Nance/Deng/Kuzma. Someone has to slide down to the 3? If not, what happens if Kuzma and Nance outplay Deng? Now we potentially have a guy making 18m, relegated to the end of the bench.
Honestly Bro I see Kuzma playing SF back up minutes ... Nance will play a lot of minutes at center ... Deng He won't out play Randle so Randle will start at PF ...
Out side of maybe JC we don't have anyone else to play SG so KCP will get the NOD ahead of him, but I hope JC starts I just love his work ethic.
Oh wait maybe Brewer could start some times at SG??? due to his ability to run the break no sure about his shooting though?
Luke on the Lowe Post already said that KCP will likely start and he and Ingram would be the wings. Most of us has had this feeling ever since that JC's skill and talents was more fitted as a 6th man anyway. Really more of Lou Williams type of scorer.
Lonzo/KCP/Ingram/Randle/Lopez.
As long as Ingram and Randle start becoming more consistent, that starting lineup should be ok. We wouldn't need Lonzo to score too much as long as he does what he was brought in to do which is orchestrate and find easy scoring opportunities.
