This is so surprising to me. I would have bet money the starting lineup would be Wood/DFS/Bullock/Luka/Dinwiddie. Are we really just abandoning what worked after the Porzingis trade? Things opened up so much after getting rid of KP and the two big lineup clogging the paint. I know Wood shot like 39% from 3 last year but are we really going to play him like Maxi or DFS, just standing outside the 3 point line spacing the floor? Because if not, he's most likely going to just clog things up with McGee in there too. That seems like such a waste of his skillset.
What I remember happening last year was we were constantly having to battle back from early deficits because the two big lineup sucked offensively and I'm afraid that's exactly what will happen this year until we change the lineup. I understand McGee won't play big minutes even if he's starting but those first 5 minutes of the game are crucial. Wood and McGee is a fantastic big man rotation, but I really don't see a lot of benefit in playing them together.
