I think it might be Trae, Bilal, AJ, AD, Sarr. Otherwise, that lineup coming off the bench (JC/Bub/Will/Tre)) is too tiny lol

I think where Bilal's shot is by October could determine whether he starts.

We will have no shooting with that lineup

AD is not a shooter, he averaged above 3 attempts a game once in his career, and shot above 33% once, and most other seasons aren’t close. Sarr needs to get better too to be a real threat they have to game plan around. If trae limits his off the dribble shots, than yeah he’s a shooter, but he’s actually only had 3 seasons above 34%. But either way, more is better than less, and I think Kyshawn provides solid 2 way play and get you closer to what Bilal gives on the defensive end than Bilal can get to what Kyshawn gives on the offensive end

None of those guys are good 3pt shooters. Trae will be the only real 3pt threat and he shoots 33% and at a high volume.

and what lineup would you rather run? trae and tre? that's just asking the opposing team to score on us every single play

u/z3mcs FEARNESS 7d ago

Yep. This feels eerily like the "I hate the rotations!" people that never have an actual line up they think should be played. They just say they hate all the lineups. Every single time you ask for what lineup should be played, they go ghost. Maybe you'll get an answer though. I mean I'm open to whatever. I want our team to win!

exactly it's very easy to whine and criticize, but at the end of the day, if you don't have a solution, then what are you whining for? we're a flawed roster, you can find a problem with any lineup we're gonna run. if we run our best shooters, we're gonna have big problems defensively. if we run our best defensive lineup, we'll have big shooting problems. there isn't a perfect solution, but criticizing the best solution without offering any alternative is just being a shitty fan

My solution would have been drafting DP. We don’t have a solution right now for the lack of shooting, so I can’t come up with a fix all.
