FIFY below.

Holmes   Powell
KP          Maxi
DFS        rMLE
THJ        Green
Luka       Brunson

BTW, if you go that route, you are going to need a knock down 3 point shooter for the rMLE to keep Green and Powell on the floor at the same time.  Can't help you with the THJ starting thing.  That is the way the conversation goes when he's on a hot streak and Carlisle is starting him.  Give it some time and we will play a different game...actually, we've been playing that game for months.  Who can we get at SG assuming THJ is still here as a 6th/7th man.


 

Looking at this lineup made me realize how much of a priority getting a playmaker is compared to a big. No matter how great the Holmes/Collins fit is, they won't have the ball in their hands much. Of that rotation only Luka and JB can handle the rock and facilitate for others (Rich and Timothy can't drive/kick and even though I like the playmaking I've seen from Green, he's too raw to be trusted yet). Also easier to find a trustworthy big for the MLE than a guard. I'd rather live with one of DP/Maxi starting with another playmaker helping Luka than having this lineup and watch Luka go hero mode.
