If we don't get another defensive G off the bench, White can't start

[Kobe'sAchilles]

Name of thread should be changed. I think OP meant: If Murray doesn't get a consistent jumper, he won't start.

[GreekSpursfan]

Murray will start, White will start, bench DDR, i'm kidding, sort of.

Well, tbh, White is more of a SG than DDR is a SF. DeMar has mentioned before that he's more comfortable playing at the 2 than at the 3. My main concern, aside from our bench defense, is having multiple players playing out of position. I don't see how that's a non-issue. Maybe they can work through it but it is a legitimate point to bring up.

I think even DDR doesn't know what he is. He wants to play something but is he that, no. I would bench him if we didn't have to play Forbes tbh.

If Pop is the Coach next year, and past performance is indicative of future results, there will be about 18 different starting lineups next season. The good news is, there are better options this season than last.

The only thing I'd add is is like to chain white and Aldridge together. The old my touches plan. This is why I want to take DeRozan to the bench and let him come in later after LMA gets started. A Murray DeRozan, LMA start just looks ugly from a passing viewpoint. Maybe those three players figure it out, but seems like using the best true pg to get the team a hot start is a good plan

[Millennial_Messiah]

As I've mentioned before: White is a point guard not a two guard, Murray is a point guard not a two guard, and DeMar is a two guard not a small forward. That's the controversy.

Two guards in today's NBA need to be able to shoot the 3. That's a minimum requirement.

[RC_Drunkford]

why do people here still think Poeltl will start? Pop only started him cause he was the only good defender he had left on the bench. He should and likely will come off the bench wich improves the spacing of the starting line up a ton

Start Murray/White
Sub one out and bring in LW
Keep Walker in when you sub the other one back in

You'll always have a defensive stopper guard on the floor. It's not ing rocket science. Pop almost always staggers his subs utions, so yes, you can start White/Murray and still defend the whole game.

Lonnie Walker's defense is abysmal

[313]

Lonnie Walker is the most overrated player on ST. Hopefully it's just age, but Murray, White, and Fathead all looked much more promising in the g league.

OT: They'll both start in the beginning and then Pop will segue one of the two to the bench when he's playing around with line ups.

[Eras]

No Belinelli on the team? Also, I don't see Metu in the 15.

[vavvi]

I think we should stagger White and Murray minutes as much as possible. Like Houston plays Harden and Paul.
Murray and White can start together but then one should be subbed around 4 minutes mark for Forbes and come back at the end of the quarter.

I’m sure Poeltl won’t start.
