I think the black team in the first quarter could be our starting lineup to start the season. Not sure who out of Conley/Clarkson/Sexton will be coming off the bench as the season progresses, but that seems to be a fluid situation. It makes sense if we still have Conley/Clarkson for a bit, then Clarkson could reprise his 6th man role. Olynyk could eventually be supplanted by Kessler, but it’s best not to throw the promising rookie to the wolves just yet.

Bolmaro was kinda rough initially. Lee had some flashes of athleticism. Stanley Johnson barely played. THT had some nice moments and also some headscratchers. I was impressed by Agbaji’s finishing. Kessler’s coming along nicely.
