2021-2022 ROSTER TALK: [ARCHIVED]

[DanSchwartzgan]

 

Tim Cato said that it is more likely JB & Luka will play more together and SD will be given some time alone to run the team.

This is usually where Burkemede jumps in and says Luka and Brunson are the best pairing in the history of mankind (or somesuch).  To his credit, what started out as a shaky pairing has improved dramatically.  The pairing is +7.6 since 1/1/22 (not long ago it was 2.1).  

All of the Luka pairings and all of the Brunson pairings with Bullock, Powell and DFS have been fantastic over that timeframe.  That group seems to have really clicked for some reason, but it knocked the bench down to basically Maxi and Green (his defensive numbers since 1/1/22 are unbelievable BTW).  Adding the two Wiz players to supplement the bench is nice for the bench, but it also means we can play more of the five that has been working so well if we want to.
