So now that a bit of the smoke has cleared what do you all think the projected line ups will be 1 - 12?

Defensively, yeah. That's a brutal frontline. I think he'll help relieve the pressure a lot on the halfcourt offense and Zo to constantly create something. You can just throw him the ball in the post, and let him go to work.

Keeping in mind that there are more changes to come. Thus far we have:

Guards- Clarkson, Ball, Hart, Ennis(Possibly), Really need a veteran or two here

Forwards- Ingram, Randle, Nwaba, Nance Jr, Kuzma, Brewer, Deng, Robinson

Centers- Lopez, Black, Zubac, Bryant

Starters:
Clarkson, Ball
Ingram, Randle
Lopez

First Responders:
Hart
Nance Jr
Black & Zubac will depend on the opponent

Possible contributor early:
Kuzma -who might surprise by being able to play the 3 a bit, which would be potent with he & Nance Jr running the wings, with Ball doing his thing with them.

Robinson & Brewer gives us a rebounder, and a wing (Brewer who likes to run) who should do well as he gets time w/Ball

Offensively I think we'll do fine. I'm most looking forward to how a combination of defensive minded players like Hart, Nance Jr, and even Kuzma ,who received honorable mention defensively, do on the other end.

Defense is where I hope Randle "breaks out" the most.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Hart start because of his defense.

I like JC coming off the bench in the 6th man role and leading the 2nd unit.

Nwaba is a guard, not a forward... and Robinson will not be back after drafting Kuzma and Bryant.

It's hard to say what they will do to START the season, because I think they might try to give minutes to guys that they may try to trade, especially Clarkson and maybe Deng. I think Randle starts regardless.

Ball
Clarkson (Hart might be a better fit, but I think they will try to market Clarkson)
Ingram
Randle (seems to have put in a lot of work this summer)
Lopez

Off the bench...

Brewer and Hart at the guards, Nwaba will get minutes in certain match ups.
Nance and either Deng or Kuzma at the forward spots (well see if they even try to work Deng into the rotation or if they just go with Kuzma, not enough playing time for both in my opinion)
Zubac and Black will be the primary backups for Lopez, I think Bryant will spend a lot of time in the G League... With the injury history that Lopez has I would try to keep his minutes down and continue Zubac's development.

Also, after reading KP's comments, I don't think there is any chance we get PG in a trade. I believe the only way he comes here is as a free agent.

I think LNJ is a better fit with ball and BLo too. For help defense with Blo and spacing for Ball.

Randle can handle the ball more with the 2nd unit.

I'd start Clarkson at least at the beginning of the year until the rookie guards get their feet wet. He can bail them out when the offense breaks down.

Starters:

Ball (30 mpg)
Nwaba (28 mpg): He can be a Patrick Beverly type of player.
Ingram (32 mpg)
Randle (25 mpg): let's see if year 4 Randle can hit a mid-range shot; if not, start LNJ.
Zubac (30 mpg): Start him over Lopez because Lopez won't be here long-term.

2nd Unit:

Clarkson (18 mpg)
Hart (20 mpg)
Kuzma (16 mpg)
Nance (23 mpg)
Lopez (18 mpg)

3rd Unit:
Brewer (1 mpg)
Deng (1 mpg)

I think the only automatics are

PG - Ball
SF - Ingram
C - Lopez

With all due respect to Zubac, he needs one more year. The position fight is really at SG and PF

I think that Larry is a much better fit with the starting lineup defensively and also with lonzo offensively, since he doesn't need the call in his hands. I don't know if Larry is capable of being a starter in this league though, too injury prone and too many low energy games.

JC should be the starter barring a trade or injury. That being said, hart is already 22, plays D and is a good shooter. I hope he excels in camp and in SL/Preseason. A more defensive minded SG would help that starting lineup quite a bit.

I don't even know if JC or Randle is tradable at this point, but I don't think either are long term solutions for us...

Good point. There were a number of those "low energy" games. His health might make him more ideally suited as a limited/minutes, high/energy type of player.

Hart's defensive make up, maturity, intangibles, and skill set could blend real well with this team

This is what our depth chart is looking like including the draftees:

Lonzo Ball
Jordan Clarkson/David Nwaba/Josh Hart
Brandon Ingram/Loul Deng/Corey Brewer
Julius Randle/Larry Nance/Kyle Kuzma
Brook Lopez/Ivica Zubac/Tarik Black/Thomas Bryant


(bleep) lol

Man that's a brick fest and arguably worse defense than last season lol. Maybe our bench will play better again.

- move Clarkson to the backup role
- Hart jumps Nwaba for playing time, Nwaba inactive most of the time
- dump/extend Deng and Kuzma gets minutes at SF and PF
- keep Brewer, he's cheap anyway
- vet backup PG in free agency, keep Ennis as super cheap emergency backup, Ennis inactive most of the time
- free agent gamble on a young SG looking to prove himself
- if Thomas Bryant shows he can play minutes, one of Zu/Tarik is out, Zu is cheap but not as mobile so we'll see on that one
- pray Julius has a breakout year

That depth chart is screaming for a quality vet to play quality mpg.

Going to be annoyingly redundant but I would invest in Holiday or Teague. Wonder if George would have a preference? Any info on how he and Teague got along? Did he and Holiday have history as HS / AAU players in LA?

At the very least Livingston. And bring back Ennis if at all possible. That roster has depth and good mix of vet and young players.
