Also that 3 of the top 4 subs are "bigs". So if both Luka and THJ sit, then should we expect a significant fall off in efficiency? That was something we saw last year for sure.
They may not have a roster that allows for a stand alone second unit quite yet. You can't take the next 5 guys listed and create a lineup (JB, Maxi, DP, WCS, S. Brown). I think that list is more of an attempt at an ordering by current ability.
If you wanted to create a stand alone second unit from the current roster, given the starting lineup from the pod cast, then it would probably be something like
Brunson, Sterling Brown, Josh Green, Maxi, DP
Hard to know if that unit would work. Probably not. After the first substitution, instead you might see something like:
Luka, Brunson, Bullock, Maxi, KP
Then later
Luka, Brunson, Green (or Sterling), Maxi, DP (or Willie)
Then sometime in the second quarter
Brunson, THJ, Green (or Sterling), DFS, KP
But hard to tell. We have to see Kidd for a while so we can get Rick out of our heads. If I try to come up with lineups I'm too influenced by watching RC teams for so many years.
