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.
Agree with your assessment. I would expect they would endeavor to have two of Luka-KP-THJ on the floor at any given time, or something on that order.
But, like you, I am still in the Carlisle mode of thinking, and maybe Kidd does something different.
