[QUOTE="lv20gt, post: 884526, member: 2299"] IMO our starting line up will look something like (back ups) Sturdy (Smith) Kelly (Terry) Coleman (Maxwell) Franklin (Moore) Howard (Meka) Based on that, I'd say we should be improved at the one and five spots by virtue of returning, effectively, everyone. I doubt Sturdy or Howard will be world beaters but they should provide us solid starter level play. IMO the some major questions are 1) What will be the new core of the team the way Jose/Moses/Devoe/Usher have been the past couple of years. IMO we have plenty of potential with Smith/Kelly/Terry/Coleman/Maxwell but how will they develop and how quickly will they develop. Last year I was hoping Coleman or Kelly would come more into their own and give us that third reliable scoring option but it seemed like they were always a bit too willing to defer to Usher and Devoe. Without hose two we lose a lot of production but it should also force some players into mentalities that well hopefully be better for them. 2) Can our coaching staff get away from the obsession with tiny ball experimentation. Last year we spent way too much time trying to make tiny ball with Ush at the 5 work. That just isn't a viable path. Rodney and Meka need to be playing nearly 100% of the minutes at the 5 outside of situational minutes like end game need a three or putting in ball handlers when the other team is going to foul. 3) Can we better utilize depth than we have so far under Pastner. This year's team lacks the proven top of the rotation guys like we've had in the recent past, but there doesn't look to be a lot drop off in talent from the first five to the next five. While it's certainly possible we see players step up and become that top of the rotation type of players (and if we want to have a surprise season we likely need that), if we don't, then we might be able to manufacturer a couple of extra wins through timely substitutions and managing momentum in that way. Overall I think the team has a lot of good pieces but I think a lot would have to fall into place pretty quickly to have a really good season. I wouldn't be surprised if this season played out similar to the 19-20 season where we find our stride mid way through and finish strong but have a weaker start while we try to find our footing.
