They might currently be 2 of our 5 best players.

Yes and I don’t think it’s particularly close.

Yeah, I think there is an argument for both to start the next game. I'm not opposed, but I don't want to rush them too much. They will have 2 days off to see how they recover from a ton of minutes this game. Queen might be wiped out and need a bit of break (play like just 15-20 minutes). Missi might be back, and Boston doesn't have great size..

All that said, I'm proud of the way both played. A lot of room for improvement. But it was still impressive..

I think Fears starts once Murray is back. WG will want someone experienced in the backcourt with him but if he keeps playing like this it will be hard to keep him off the starting rotation

if y'all think Wille Green is starting EITHER of our rookies, much less both of them, y'all smoking crack

now, notice i'm not saying they shouldn't be... Fears absolutely should be starting, based on what i'm seeing... i'm just saying that Green is 1. too stupid 2. too stubborn, 3. too devoted to veterans, to start them

Ide start queen and bring fears off the bench. Doubt it affects his play but needs the minutes.

Green is all 3. This team won’t change until we change our HC.

I didn't think either one would get this much playing time this early in the season. But here we are. Plus they were in the finishing unit. I don't think we have a lot of options..

Fears should but Poole is there and they won’t out him on the bench. I think they both cone off the bench this year but play 20-25 minutes a game. Fears is breaking the door down though.

Fears and Queen look like they're CP3 and David West 2.0.

Think it’s too early in the season to start them and expand their roles. Let’s see how they do in the next couple of weeks. Both should get minimum 20 minutes a game tho

There's a balance you need.

You put the lineup of

Fears, Poole, Murphy, Williamson, queen on the starting lineup

Your bench becomes
Alvarado (until Murray is back), hawkins, Jones, bey, missi

You gotta shuffle constantly and idk if wg can do that

Agree with this except Jose should only get minutes when injuries/rest dictate and we should get rid of Hawkins and Peavey can pick up some minutes. And you’re forgetting about Looney

No

Especially assuming Missi can return soon, both rookies should be coming off the bench.
