Yeah, I think that Monty will start CP3, Shamet, Mikal, Cam J and McGee.

All remaining games should be used to get CP3 and Cam J in pre-injury and McGee in early-season form. Rest the starters as much as possible. Would be great if Lundberg comes off the bench and shows he belongs in the league as well.

Pretty crazy that Giddey is leading OKC in both rebounds and assists.

He's like 6'8- 6'9 right. And they don't really have that much tangible size currently. Perhaps it's just that they utilize more of a rebound by committee scheme and his size by comparison benefits that? :dontknow: But he's active and with good size, so that's gotta help them right?

Sure, but not many players lead their team in both rebounds and assists. It is usually points and rebounds or points and assists. But they really need to get someone who excels at rebounding if 7.8 rebounds per game is their best.

Straight tank job!
Not that they have to try that hard obviously! This should be an excellent opportunity to get our bench primed further. :nod:

Iffe listed as a forward on ESPN? I thought he was a guard.

Yeah, he is a SG/PG. And he is around 6'3 or 6'4.

Yep, I knew his height, which was why I was surprised ESPN lists him as a forward.
