Starting Line-up: DG Okoro Kuzma Mobley Allen Bench: Rozier Strus Jaq Wade LeVert CPJ Love TT? Morris? Emoni?
This gives us room to move Caris or Rozier (or Kuzma depending on how Jaime Jaquez fits and plays) later at the deadline with other deep bench players to upgrade for a playoff push. DG had a down year mostly because of the broken jaw so he should be back to form next year. Mobley is the center piece of this team and unlocking his full potential gives us a path to contend for a decade or so. Okoro has improved his game to a point where he is not a liability on offense and starting him along side DG, Kuzma, Mobley, & JA has him as the 5 option. This is without mentioning Rozier, LeVert, Strus, and Jaquez coming off the bench as scoring options. The league is moving toward championship teams being extremely deep, it provides flexibility to adjust to opposing teams along with ensuring injuries don't wreck how the team functions. JB is probably out as head coach (I hope that he can stay as an assistant because he defensive scheme is great), so we should make the major decision now. Overall, this season was rough with all of the injuries that occurred and we showed that we can battle through it. I am proud of the guys for being able to win a tough series against the Magic and battle against the Celtics and the Refs.
