Center: Gafford/Morez If Lively shows himself to be fully healthy then Gafford gets dealt at TDL.
PF: PJ/Aldama
SM: Flagg/Naji
SG: Max/Risacher
PG: Kyrie/Sasser/Larry
Klay gets traded/bought out and Tarek will have to scrape for minutes like the other third stringers.
Yeah, I think that is how it will be slotted, but is it realistic? I really hope Morez gets time at PF. I think longterm if Lively can be healthy, Morez will need to in order to justify that top 10 pick imo.
Marshall behind Flagg looks good on paper, but in reality that is a 12-14 minute role. Way too little for his salary imo. While I think Flagg plays a guard to help things out, that reduces the minutes for Risacher. I hope he is given a long run way now to see if he is a worthy long term investment. Ricasher and Max at two guard really leaves a lot to be desired on creation too.
