I like Wood with Luka best.  Still have a second playmaker and defenses will not know what to do with those two, plus the 3 defensive minded players.

Or, Luka, Hardy, Bullock, DFS, McGee
Or, Luka, Bullock, DFS, Maxi, McGee

Funny thing is Hardy could possibly start or we might not see him for a month depending on how this plays out.  What we do to start the season won't necessarily be what we do to finish it.  

The issue with Green is you have all of your defensive wings on the court at the same time.  Can he create enough to warrant that?

The issue with THJ starting is D with him and Luka together has not been good historically.  He's not a creator either.

I don't have an issue with Wood starting next to McGee, but wonder if he'd be more impactful getting his minutes with Maxi instead of McGee.

Hardy is VERY Green.  He has some ability to create, but he can also shoot you out of a game

And you don't want to overuse Maxi.  The starting D would be fantastic, but you are really counting on the 3's to fall.

This is a plot by Darth Powell to move from third team to second.  It actually does make sense though.

Is anyone really third team yet if we haven't played a single regular season minute?
