    This dude is starter-level for us. Seems like a good combination of Vando & Rui, with less size.

    Yep, with Prince’s shooting ability I’m just not sure we can afford to start Vando in his stead. And with his D I’d probably rather bring Rui off the bench as a scorer. Prince looks like the best of both worlds so far. I think the starting role is his to lose at this point. And I’m fine with that. What a wealth we have at the wing this season.

    Agreed. With what I've seen TP has earned that starting spot. The way he is playing elevates us to another level.

    Not sure he's as good defensively as Battier but yeah... offensively, he's gonna be dangerous.

    Was my favorite new signing this offseason and glad to see he's impressed this preseason.

    beat me to it. plus, once he's healthy, i bet he plays himself back into the rotation, much the haters' chagrin.

    Hmmm …. ole Darvin hedging a bit here with the “partly circumstantial” declaration. Maybe depending on who we are matching up with …. Vando will still get some looks with the starters. Although he has also said he wants the continuity of a set starting lineup.

    i'm guessing when vando's healthy he starts. i suppose if we start out like a house on fire, he may change his mind, though. i would, too, tbh. but our early schedule tells me we probably won't, and vando will get his shot as a starter. i think this was the original plan.

    This guy is really good - he might need to stay the starter going forward
