Here we go... season about to rev to life.
Thibs is here... He got both CHI and MIN to improve their win total by 10+ games his first season with those respective clubs.
How does he mold and handle this neophyte roster of gym rats?
Payton and Rivers and RJ will play heavy minutes, along with the next 2 guards to step up. I imagine Frank, with his defensive, will be in the mix... this means DSJ, IQ, Powell and the rest will be fighting for 1 role of 10 minute scraps.
Payton
RJ
Bullock
Randle
Robinson
Thats?s the starting 5 I see Thibs going with.
Frank, Burks, Noel first 3 off the bench. Obi or Knox, DSJ or IQ see 4 battle for 2 spots.
That?s probably what we?ll see early from Thibs?
Or, do you suppose, it?ll be all about playing the kids, and employing the more experienced players as reserve mentor types?
DSJ
Frank
RJ
OBI
Robinson
Will any of the lottery teenage kid club types finally blossom? DSJ, Frank, Knox? Will RJ morph into Jimmy Butler or just be an average player with poor shooting percentages and mediocre peripherals? Did RJ suffer from no spacing, not having a PG, or lack of shooting? Can he rise above that or could coaching and system forge him into that?
This team is healthy. It?s going to be interesting to see if they can at least battle for the 10th seed.
