If we were playing game 7 of the NBA Finals tonight and everybody was totally healthy...

---can I assume that Dyson Daniels SHOULD be first off the bench, ahead of all others?

PS: Stipulation...I assume we would have Nance playing the final crunch time minutes at C just so you know how much I value him but I'm not gonna consider him for 1st off the bench in this particular instance...just all our other non-starters.

If we were in game 7 of the NBA finals tonight, I think everyone would be very confused.

Trey…Naji…then Jose/Dyson/DG depending on matchup and score (seems to be what we see from Willy), but I think most of us have said we expect the Pels need to shake that bench crew up a bit in order to have the horses to really make a run at a championship.

I'm not convinced he's ready to be on a playoff rotation.

His lack of willingness to shoot the ball and inefficiency when he does shoot will be exploited.


Lots of time left, hopefully we'll see some improvements in those areas from now to the end of the season.

Even with the loyalty Willie shows DG, I think in the playoffs the lineup will be cut down and DG wont get many minutes at all. And he shouldn't.

BI
Zion
JV
Herb
CJ
Trey
Larry
Jose
DD
Naji

I think a 10 man rotation is the max he will run and possibly fewer in even bigger games with DD and Jose getting the least amount.

If he continues to progress I would definitely expect he would be in the playoff rotation, but I don't think right now he's ready enough offensively to be "first off the bench," which I'm going to assume you are using to mean he's our top bench player (because first off the bench will generally be dependent on who might get in foul trouble more than anything). He's not that yet.

I would agree. I can't imagine we will be playing more than 10; and if we are healthy that leaves Devonte out.

I think we need to see Zion/BI/CJ together first, but I think the answer is Trey. Zion started to really mesh with Trey before going down. He knew when he had pulled guys far enough away for Trey to get a shot off and would do a quick pass and Trey would quickly shoot the 3.

If you're averaging over 2 points per possession, does it really matter how bad the defense is?

If we had everyone healthy and were playing in the NBA Finals, there would not be a need for a game 7!
