You want them to have 5 start level players on the bench? Do you see how ridiculous that is

I never said that. I said that is what I classify as quality depth, which means one or more players. I do not believe any of our bench players is a starter level player. I don't see any with an elite skill set.

Someone mentioned Alvarado as an elite defender and that is an interesting one. I want to see a greater sample size and see if it carries on before agreeing with that. He was awesome in bursts and I want him to expand on that. I believe he has tremendous heart and effort. It took many by surprise. I've seen a lot of flash in the pan smaller guards though.

Trey and Nance could potentially start for some teams, having 2 players of that caliber on the bench is quality depth.

We have different opinion of Nance. He is a fringe NBA player to me and is majorly undersized for what he does. His athleticism is declining and he has injury issues.

A quality bench is like the Bucks with Hill, Connaugthon, Matthews and Portis. Former starters and guys capable of playing big minutes in a pinch. That is what i think of when people say a deep team..
