Projected lineups

Randle is probably the only guy there I would trust to knock down 3s.

That’s probably why Ellington/Bullock for now or hopefully Dotson, Knits or Knox in the future will be needed to provide spacing...

I like Dotson’s chances. Knox was smart last year working on his 3 point game, but his defense needs to be much better to be a starter. Ntilikina might as well not even exist for as little a chance as I think Fizdale will give this season.

If you stick Ellington or Bullock out there the next 2 years, might as well roll with it though, unless one of the young guys steps up big time.

They predict (based on early guesswork) that a DSJ-RJ-Bullock-Randle-MRob lineup is favorite to be starting...

I would add: Trier sixth man.

Payton - Ellington backup PG/SG
Knox - Portis - Taj backup front court.

Dotson, Knits, Iggy have work to do to earn their minutes...

Read an online report this morning that said that Elfrid Payton will be given every opportunity to win the starting PG job.
