No. We have 5 really good players. A solid starting group, that has some big injury concerns.

The 2nd unit is not great and is mostly an unknown. Alvarado, Graham, Murphy, Nance and Hayes. Who is the 6th man? Maybe good role players but we are in trouble if any have to play bigger minutes. We saw that in the playoffs.

I'm not being a chicken little. I like our starters and our younger players. We should have a lot of success. We just aren't deep with proven players and more than one injury is going to take a big toil.

Hell yes. Too long of a history to rehash. They hold out healthy players and restrict minutes all the time.

We have three legitimate stats and Val is pretty damn good. I suspect we are going to win a lot of games by keeping at least two of those guys on the court as much as possible so we win when subs start coming into the game.

brmark, please just go back to arguing that we should trade BI or something. You would embarrass yourself less that way.

The 2nd unit is not the guys you listed, it's the guys you listed plus Zion. That makes a huge difference. We saw it in the back half of the SVG season. 2nd units can't handle Zion which makes everyone else's lives easier.

I have zero concerns with Trey or Nance playing big minutes.

How many teams would have no drop off with 5 dudes from their bench having to play big minutes? If that's your criteria for a deep team then there really isn't a single deep team in the NBA.
