Title: Favorite starting lineup of 2013?
Post by: truth219 on December 30, 2013, 05:12:56 PM
What was your favorite starting lineup of this current season? We have had quite a few variations, and I still don't know if we got a permanent one yet.

I think the combo of Vashil, Jabril, Alec, LaVonte and Lexus at the moment, seem the the group that works well together.  I could insert Keith for Lexus or Bobby for Jabril and be just as happy.

Shouldn't this be the players that get the most playing time? I believe it's okay to start Moussa because he adds an influence on defense that should begin with the start of the game. OTOH, I don't think Moussa deserves the most playing time. By putting in Vashil after Moussa that perpetuates Vashil's/Moussa's influence on defense to a greater extent. See Bryce's philosophy on starting line-ups in my signature.

BTW, I think Peters, Fernandez, Dority, Williams and Adekoya should get the most playing time.

I think that's a good point--starters cannot just be the 5 best players on the team, any more than a string quartet can be the four best string players in the room.

Thought about doing an "over-under" on everyone's MPG first half vs. 2nd half of season, but almost everyone would be "under" because Carter's minutes have to come from somewhere(s).

I like Lexus, Dority, Peters, Adekoya, and any center really. None of our centers are very good honestly. I would like to see D.C. (Chadwick) get some more minutes.
