DLo / Vincent Christie / Reaves / Knecht LeBron / Rui / Reddish Vando / Wood AD / Hayes In an ideal world Max takes a big step forward, becomes a legitimate 3&D rotation player and starts (even if he's only 20ish minutes a game). Bring Austin off the bench to stagger the ballhandling, he would close over DLo. This time around I prefer to start Vando and give Redick time to work out the kinks around his lack of shooting next to AD. At this point I'm pretty dejected and about ready to accept that our window is closed. Too many teams on the rise or peaking as contenders in the West.
let's gather around in a circle, hold hands, and pray Rob needs our help right now, and we need divine intervention.
Some quibbles on the tiers. Russell had a higher VORP, BPM, PER, and virtually identical eFG% and WS/48 with Reaves (and almost identical ORtg and DRtg). You can put them both in one or the other area, but splitting them makes little sense. Rui might be a starter, too. I can see putting Gabe, Wood, and Vando below the line. Hayes might surprise this year.
That’s a fair point, DLO and Reaves are probably both suited as quite good 6th men. I guess I’m splitting hairs, but Reaves did have the better run in the previous years playoffs when we made the conference final.
