Personally, I start my greatest strengths... Frank-MRob defense, with MM shooting and Randle post production.
The question is, who deserves to be that fifth starter?
Frenchy
MM
Randle
MRob
Do you go EP to run the point? If so, does compel you to swap Frank to backup PG (instead of starting combo guard with EP)?
As a coach, do you feel for his development, the best thing for MRob is to stay as first big off the bench backup role?
Either way, whatever the role, MRob either start together or are both reserve backups (6/7 men in rotation).
I think eventually, by Feb, that 4th guy will clearly be Bullock. Maybe not until he gets his legs under him tho.
You could start Dotson, for he fits that SG role. But he?s closer to fodder than starting material. But, I?m all for giving him a shot.
RJ should be a backup right now. Not a demotion, for he still gets his 24 minutes... but if I am new HC and I am about accountability.... I use last game as excuse to pull RJ for starting unit. He?s slumping with his shot... let him regroup and earn his role back. The locker room is watching.
However, we don?t know what is happening in practice and whatnot.... who is clearly separating himself, demonstrating their natural talents....
But, if it were me...
EP
Frank
MM
Randle
MRob
I got 2 shot-happy scoring guys, along with 2 gritty-guttty-grinder sneaker squeaking types... those 4 are the body, and the maestro running the show is EP.
