A
PG Vazquez/Rivers
SG Gordon/Henry
SF Aminu/Miller/Henry
PF Anderson/Smith/Warrick
C Davis/Lopez/Smith

* Anderson sees some time at SF too + Davis sees some time at PF
or

B
PG Vazquez/Rivers
SG Gordon/Henry
SF Anderson/Aminu/Miller
PF Davis/Smith/Warrick
C Lopez/Smith

* Anderson sees some time at PF too + Davis sees some time at C

Basically, who starts: Aminu (in a more traditional lineup) or Lopez (in a "big" lineup)?

Will be interesting to see Monty's rotation to start the year.

It kinda depends on the team we play but the starting lineup will be A. When we play the Magic/Lakers we will see B more often.

Of the two, I'd say this one, but I still think AFA starts at the 3 with Anderson being a 6th man.

You don't pay Anderson that kind of money to come off the bench, imo.

I think Anderson is a starter as well. He's too good not to start for us.

There is no way the starting lineup is A because of 1 guy...AMINU....if he starts than we got bigger issues than anyone could ever imagine.

B is the best line-up we got...no ifs ands or buts...
J Smooth will be the guy that plays all over the place and thought not a starter will be the ultimate 6th man...

Aminu is legit. He is one of the best defensive 3s in the league. With scorers at the other positions it will be good to have a great defensive 3 to lockdown some of the best players(KD, LeBron, Melo, ect..........Ariza). Anderson will play against lesser 3s for offense but dont down on Aminu just because of offense. He can play.

A player of Anderson's caliber and versatility could easily come off the bench yet still play more than 3 of our starters IMO.

Ginobli-esque. If he's averaging 34 minutes a game that's fine. He could play more than Vasquez and AFA and the Lopez girl with that quantity of time.

bringing one of your best players off the bench is a luxury for really good all-around teams like the Spurs and Thunder....we're not quite there yet, and I doubt we do that with Anderson.

...not to mention, as it stands now, Anderson is our best rebounder

Davis needs to be near the paint, so he can block many shots per game

if AMINU is one of the best defenders in the league dont you think he wouldve been a starter already...the dude can barely play for his national team let alone the NBA

I didn't say he was one of the best defenders in the league.

He has been a starter already

He's playing for his national team. don't know where you get the "barely" from.

He was behind one of the best defenders in the league and he puts in work for his team, him and Ike, what have you been watching Merlin08?
