    The beauty of this team is that there’s a hundred different lineup configurations, and they’re all better than the lineups from the first half of last year.

    Dark horse starter candidate with his ability to defend and shoot. I still think it’s Vando tho.

    Definitely my winner for ‘guy I forgot we signed/was on the team’ until actual games start.

  4. He’s a natural fit with the 4 starters. I heard a stat that he was 45 percent on corner threes last year.

    No disrespect to Troy but we are about to find out how big of n upgrade prince is. Guy fits perfect next to bron and ad.

  6. He’s a more consistent shooter from three. Defensively, he’s more patient as well. Better fit. Vando has the energy and motor. Interchangeable based on matchups I’m sure.

    I l ove that we have so much versatillity.

    I could see them giving Reaves some games off initially in pre season cause he played in the summer.

    My only gripe with this team is the defense. Kinda sucks that we really only have 2 good defensive guards and 1 won’t play. Gabe & AR aren’t pushovers tho so I’m interested to see more defense from them.

    I’ve been saying since they signed Prince that he should be in the conversation to start but it seems almost everyone just disregards him and only considers Vando and Rui. He’s the middle ground between them and fits best with the starters. He’s the best shooter and a solid defender. Vando is great defense but bad shooting and offense. Rui is average at best defense and good scoring but outside of a 1 month stretch a bad shooter.

    Rui provides the most value by coming in for Lebron at the 6 min mark because his scoring will be more valuable. With the starters he’s the 5th option but he can move up to the 2nd or 3rd option by coming off the bench and we can take advantage of his best asset for more of his minutes.

    If Vando hasn’t improved his shooting he’s a defensive specialist and will be used when that’s most needed. Some nights that might be starting, others off the bench.

    Taurean is gonna make so many corner threes this season. His goal is >40% from three this year.

    This team has so much depth and to start the season is great for chemistry purposes.

    We could have Prince start and have Vando or Rui end games if they’re doing well.
