    So now we should roll out the following rotation:

    Dlo/Schroder
    Reaves/Beasley/Walker/Christie
    LeBron/Rui/Brown
    AD/Vanderbilt
    Bamba/Gabriel

    OR

    DLO/Schroder
    Reaves/Beasley/Walker/Christie
    LeBron/Brown
    Vanderbilt/Rui
    AD/Bamba/Gabriel

    Damn...bench unit would have Schroder, Beasley, Brown, Rui, Bamba OR Schroder, Beasley, Rui, Vanderbilt, Gabriel.

    Our team is suddenly very deep, young, athletic and able to hit 3's.

    I also don't mind having Beasley start and Reaves off the bench.

    Interesting, based on this season, the incoming crew (D-Lo, Rui, Beasly. Vandy, Mo & Davon):

    Make 8.7 threes on 23.1 attempts for 37.7%

    The outgoing (Nunn, RW, Jones, JTA, TB, PatBev) make 3.5 threes on 11.7 attempts for 29.9%

    edited this part:
    Don't seem like a lot yet it's a difference of 15.6 pts per game. How many more wins would that have given us? It is twice the attempts which takes twice as long to make so 15.6 cut in half is 7.8 pts. The answer is 12 games. We would be 37-18... 2nd place and 1 game out of first.

    Rui's been having an off-season on 3s so that's a bit askew for the norm, I'd say should be high 30's

    I do think he would be a little bit better there than here because they have shooters and a deep roster thanks to them not having his 47 million dollar salary. But I don’t think so much better that it matters a ton, he still can’t shoot or finish very well, and he still makes horrible turnovers and can’t close games. Him taking the ball out of Kawhi or George’s hands on any late game possessions is automatically a negative.

    He's 6-2, so you can't rule it out. Seems we've learned and turned a new leaf though.

    Chicago? They were looking for a scoring punch from a guard off the bench.

    I redid it, check it out, it wasn't fair to compare twice as many attempts (takes twice as long to take them) so I cut it in half and we still are up 12 games.
