Assume Felton isn’t on the roster.
Who plays the back up point? Surely it’s George, right?
If George could handle back up point duties, I think that would be fun to watch. In fact, if I’m coaching the Thunder, I’m giving him that role and challenging him to handle it. I wonder if PG would even want to play that role, though.
Anyways, if that works out, I’m sliding Diallo in to guard point. Abrines at 2 and Grant at the 4. Noel at the 5.
On the offensive end, Abrines and George give you shooting (though he’s not shooting well right now) with the ability to drive. Noel gives you putbacks and rim runs and the occasional mid-range. Grant can at least draw a foul and give you a weapon in transition. Diallo gets an open 3 here and there and gets the Roberson lane to the bucket.
Spacing isn’t great but there’s enough ways to “manufacture buckets” with that lineup.
Defense should be very solid, though.
Diallo, Abrines, George, Grant, and Noel are all very capable defenders at their respective positions. Abrines will have trouble with quicker second unit guards in the league, but shouldn’t have a lot of trouble. Diallo will suffer from guarding vets, but overall should be enough of a presence to be a plus defender. George will be George. He won’t contest much at the rim, but he won’t let you get to the rim much either. Great help defender. Grant gives you another solid help defender who has the added ability of being super long and jumping super high so he can cover a lot of floor space. Noel also gives you the same, but lacks a little size for the position so he will get bodied by bigger, skilled bigs, but his length alone should be enough to hold the fort down.
