I don't think it happens due to our lack of ball handlers and also some comments about wanting Hardaway to become an allstar by the coaching staff (he won't), but I have been wanting Jalen starting for a while. Our starting lineup, even with KP, is so passive. No one besides Luka can put pressure on a defense. The offense runs really well with Luka and Jalen imo.
I just am not sure how the starting lineup we begin with is not going to struggle to start games. Tonight was even worse. Because we had no rim protection and on offense wasn't getting anything in the lane.
Kleber was excellent as well. For me he is a heavy minute bench player. But he could be the best option as our fifth starter. It is just so hard though. All of our bigs are specialists. Kleber is probably the best, but I am worried about over using him during the regular season.
