When everyone is healthy he’s our 6th man but the kid is a blooming star and would start anywhere else in the NBA right now. The trouble is the two positions he mainly plays are our 2 best players in Zion and BI. I wish Zion was 3 inches taller so he can play the 5 but it’s going to be really fun to see how they merge both Trey and Daniels into an already loaded roster.

At some point, CJ is going to be the odd man out with all the talent we have.

I think JV will continually lose minutes with the other four starters.

We can only have 5 starters. Minutes are more important than starts anyway imo

Let me preface this by saying that I love Herb Jones, and I want him to be a Pelican forever.

But Trey is approaching that point where he has to start or at least play a consistent 30 minutes off the bench. He’s too good not to.

His combination of athleticism and shooting is insane. The game is slowing down for him offensively. The sky is the limit for him.

How long can you keep Dyson out of the starting 5?

I think a fixed starting line up is weird, you should play match ups and it should be fluid but that is not what the NBA does.

How long are you going to keep Dyson on the bench? And if they’re starting how long are you going to keep Herb on the bench? It’s like we won the lottery and we used the winnings to keep buying more tickets.

Man we have really lucked out in the draft for the last 2 years. Herb, Trey, Jose, Dyson.

Starting lineup 2 years from now is Dyson, BI, Herb, Trey, and Zion. That’s small but the offense will be good enough that it doesn’t matter

Only half joking lol

What happens if Scoot Henderson falls into our laps?

It literally doesn't matter.

Feels like our fans aren't used to having a real team, with actual depth. Good teams have guys that would be starting other places. Its a good thing.

Starting 5 is meaningless subs come in like 4 minutes into the game. The important thing is your closing lineup which can very depending on the situation.

Waiting patiently for a Dyson-BI-Herb-Zion-Trey lineup.

You are trying to turn a positive into a negative. Wait until we get victor wembanyama next season. Pels will have two solid starting five lineups

We need to follow the Bucks model for startups. Z = Giannis, Middleton = BG, CJ = Drew, JV = Lopez and Herb > other starter. No way we should not be able to compete or beat the other teams in the NBA. We just need to understand the pecking order of the ball. No slight to BI and CJ but Z is 1st then BI and CJ. Z commands doubles everytime. BI is our steady scorer and CJ is the wiley vet.
