Gotta go Kugel, but Melendez looks to be a 1A

Jans say starters don't matter, finishers do!

I really like when they are on the court together during portions of the game.

I agree with your starters DS, although if Claudell stays cold, I also could see Clary starting at PG and letting Hub spot up without being pressured to handle PG duties.

And I feel really good with one of those guys plus Shawn Jones and Melendez off the bench. This has to be the deepest quality we've ever had 1-4.

Nothing has really separated Nwoko/Foumena/Chol yet, although Nwoko definitely looks more athletic around the rim so far. But if nothing else, we have 3 big bodies to put there and take up space and (hopefully) rebound.

I was wondering how long he was planning start Clary. Looks like not long at all. He's quick but tends to play out of control alot. I don't like Hubbard having to handle the ball so much if Clary isn't in there.

I think Melendez defends better than Kugel, but Kugel can create his shot off the dribble better.

As long as there’s not a matchup size problem Clary will start with Hubbard to allow Hubbard to be off the ball more.

Matthews and Hubbard are the only solid starters. I think everything else is pretty flexible.

I like it, but Harris needs to start hitting some shots. He’s out there for one reason and 2-14 from 3 over the last two games isn’t gonna cut it. If not him, I’d probably put Jones out there for perimeter defense, and trust the other guys to do the scoring
