Line-up combinations

It seems like our starting line-up could be any combination.

Smart, Bradley, Turner, Amir, Lee
or
Smart, Bradley, Turner, Sully, Zeller
or
Smart, Bradley, Turner, Amir, Zeller

But a whole lot of different guys could end up starting Game 1, or be starting by Game 41.

IT4 could start

IT4, Smart, Jerebko, Amir, KO
or 10 other nice looking lineups with IT4.
Like
IT4, Hunter, Crowder, Amir, Zeller
That one would be our best shooting back court, with perhaps our three best defenders at the bigger positions.

And Jordan Mickey could easily find his way into the starting lineup in the first half of the season.

I suspect Brad is keeping an open mind about the starting line-up, and everybody will get consideration.

But the most likely, based on seniority, production, and current ability level, would be Smart, Bradley, Turner, Amir, Lee

With so many other highly plausible alternatives.

Does anybody have an early favorite starting lineup?

Let's see who's on the roster come the beginning of the season.

Rambone,

IF no further significant changes come prior to the season, my guess would be your first group; Smart, Bradley, Turner, Amir and Lee.

The fun in this type of question is being able to speculate as a fan, and put on your GM/Coach hat.

My own expectation, when wearing my GM/Coach hat and playing Danny/Brad is that Bradley is our most valuable trading piece, and we will try and exercise the opportunity to look for a stronger 3,4, or 5 by packaging him in a deal.  Maybe later in the season, near the trade deadline when contenders look to fill holes.

Wearing that same hat, you don't take Rozier at 16, especially over other possible 3, 4, or 5s, with the intent he's going to sit long.

Ship Bradley out and make the later season lineup Rozier, Smart, Turner, Amir and Lee.  Or, more exactly, Rozier, Smart, and whoever among the other three is left plus whoever they get in the deal to play 3, 4 or 5.
