This is what I'd like to see moving forward
Bledsoe/Lonzo/Kira
NAW/JJ
Ingram/Hart
Zion/Melli
Adams/Jaxson
Big change is NAW to starting lineup. IMO he's ready to swim. Crafty with the ball in his hands, and fearless shooter. He can be that second scorer that can take the load off of Ingram. Zion will still get his looks and Ingram will dominate but NAW can be that secondary option that doesn't rely solely on catch-and-shoot like JJ and Lonzo.
The bench remains the same but with Lonzo coming on when Bledsoe is off, you can still have that PG presence and still have a legit shooter with JJ, plus the hustle man in Hart. Melli and Jaxson aren't great options but that's just what the Pels have to live with right now. And I would like to see Kira get some minutes as well.
I've watched more Pels this season than I did all of last season and I like the young group they have. But you have to start getting NAW on the floor and if Bledsoe and Lonzo can't contribute Kira has to start getting some minutes as well. I also think that splitting minutes with Bledsoe and Lonzo can help keep both of them fresher and hopefully can help keep their defensive intensity up.

I’d rather Hart start at SG

Kira over Lonzo and start Hart.

I wonder how Gabriel or Willy can do as our backups over Melli and Hayes.
I don’t know how long it will be until he changes rotations, but right now, it’s extremely frustrating.

That’s where I’m at, it’s a much more complimentary lineup because you don’t lose any defense or rebounding but you remove the problem of having too many guys that need the ball in their hand and leave it with the two best guys that should be doing it(Bled and Ingram).
Zo as super sub with JJ or Naw and can work more often with Zion.
Not gonna happen because i fee like we have an Evans situation with Zo, where he would become a problem if he was moved to the bench.

I feel like u don't have enough shooting in that lineup
Posted on 1/8/21 at 11:11 pm to JustLivinTheDream
So you named 11 out of 12 players
Great rotation

I think NAW is a legit shooter but he's also a far more versatile scorer than Lonzo. I don't see how having him on the floor isn't an upgrade in shooting when you factor in the spacing it provides because he can drive. Plus, NAW isn't garbage at free throws, so when he gets fouled you aren't holding your breath quite as much.
The offense is just too stagnant with Bledsoe and Lonzo both on the floor because Lonzo can't create his own shots whereas NAW can.

Sad that Hart is basically our backup 4

I was blasted in the off-season for saying that Hart should be the starting SG. But now I'm on the fence. I just don't know what his game is or where he projects the best. He is our back up 3/4 and we don't have anyone else to play there. I just don't see how he can play anywhere else right now..

I fear that making Lonzo a backup will definitely hurt his trade value and possibly cause him to become disgruntled and a locker-room cancer.
I don't know that -- it's just a fear. But if he continues to play this poorly, we'll have no choice.
I just hope some contending team has a key injury at PG and gets desperate.
