New Starting Lineup and Rotation. Who do you want to play?
My starting lineup would be
Marcus
Jaylen
Tristan
Semi
Tatum
Bench:
Kemba/Peyton when kemba sits out
Fournier
Bob
Grant
And that's it. I would only play these 9/10 players every game so they can get comfortable in their roles.
First team is a JBT paradise, they get to shoot and pile up numbers at will. Marcus Tristan and Semi do the dirty work.
Then boom! We bring in the baddest bench in the game with Kemba Bob and Fournier.
We got to switch this up and experiment.

While that may sound good in concept I don't think it helps. I honestly have no problem with Kemba coming off the bench, but I can tell you this with a certainty - not gonna happen.
But the main issue has been no continuity on offense, so it makes no sense to handcuff the offense of the starters to have some kind of vaunted bench. It's been too much of the Jaylen/Jason ISO show this year. I REALLY think Fournier can help tremendously with this problem. But if you have TT and Semi playing the bulk of those initial starter minutes it solves nothing.
Let Marcus continue the role he's carved out as the guy running the second unit and put Fournier out there to start. I think you may be surprised at how well he gels with the Js. And by all means have Smart in at the end of games if he would only stop thinking he was 1A option offensively in crunch time.

It feels weird that Theis is gone. I know he wasn't the perfect center but I think he was severely underrated.
Of course he DID miss that corner 3 last night so .... later dude.

I see the reasoning behind the Theis Trade.
But, I think keeping him as a highly paid Bench Center may have been the better option.
Also, saving that whole TPE for the Summer.
Cause getting Kemba off the Books, should be the big thing this Offseason.
Fournier doesn't answer the Starting PF deficiency, that we really need to fill.
On-the-other-hand, Rob Williams will get more play. As will Pritchard.

Re: New Starting Lineup and Rotation. Who do you want to play?
Really most important is the finishing 4th quarter lineup. Smart, Fournier, Brown, Tatum, RW..
And Stevens needs to be consistent with this but he won't one reason why I hate him

How is Fournier as a defender?
If he’s average I say we start him.

Then I think we should start him.
I feel like it only works if Rob starts too, considering that Brown, Kemba, Fournier are guys that would get blown by on defense consistently.
I think if Tristan still starts then we are in trouble with a lineup like that.
But Smart, PP, Tristan, Semi would be a solid bench in my book that is quite versatile. I think our depth issues are 70-80% solved, we need another decent piece and we no longer have to run our starts into the ground.
