I'm pretty sure Blakeney would start instead of Quarterman and they would just put Newman at PG. All three of Newman, Blakeney and Simmons can handle the ball Just the thought of Mickey Martin Simmons Blakeney Newman

It could go either way, I like Quarterman working with that first group because it's a very tall lineup with Quarterman having a lot of experience running the point as well. Newman is more of a combo guard than true point guard. I'd like for Newman and Blakeney to both play the 2 and think score score score while Quarterman and Patterson are distributors who can score in their own right. Plus, having Blakeney in that second group gives you a pure scorer you want coming off the bench. Quarterman can drop some points too, but he's no Blakeney when it comes to just ridiculous scoring games.
