Well, time for Iwundu and Green to shine

Terry absolutely needs to get a shot too, just test the waters with him if at all possible. Brunson being out is the hardest thing to replace IMO.

Burke is listed as probable, but yeah, losing Brunson for three games might be a problem.

I really want to see Hinton in an actual NBA game. In the few minutes he played in the preseason he looked more NBA ready than any other rookie (including Green).
Well, it's clear that some combination of Iwundu, Green, Terry, Hinton and Tyler Bey are about to play in multiple NBA games for our team. Hopefully, most of us will go into them with appropriate expectations. Maybe that way we can enjoy the time.
I’d like to see them keep the THJ on the Bench.
Could start Luka-Green-Iwundu-Maxi-WCS
With Burke/Terry-THJ-Hinton/Bey-Johnson-Powell/Bobi
See what the rooks have but keep THJ growing into the 6th man role and keep scoring punch off the bench. He will close these games for sure anyway. Just like what I’ve seen in a couple of games with THJ leading the bench mob.

My guess is that either Burke or THJ will start, and possibly both. Definitely not neither.

Here is my prediction for starting lineup: Luka, THJ, Iwundu, Kleber, WCS
Just be glad Luka didn't test positive. 7 games without him, I shudder to think.
I suspect they will want to avoid multiple rookies on the floor at any time. Green starting makes sense. He sits when Luka sits and Johnson and Terry will handle the ball while Luka is out. That probably makes it hard to play additional rookies very much with the rotation being tightened to something like WCS, Maxi, Green, THJ, Luka, Powell, Johnson, Iwundu and Terry.
It is kind of interesting that both Dallas and Orlando will be a bit light on experienced PG’s Saturday night.
It's time for Tyler Bey to start his rookie of the year campaign.

I wish....but we all know RC favors salary and seniority hierarchies.....and Bey is at the bottom of that. Not holding my breath on seeing him yet.

Once Shawn Marion 2.0 gets his chance, Carlisle will be forced to keep him in the rotation.
Look up videos on Hinton and Bey again to see how they could potentially be in the lineup. Iwundu likely starts out of that group because of NBA years, but would love to see Bey get minutes at the 3.
