PG: Ricky Rubio
SG: Corey Brewer
SF: Andrew Wiggins
PF: Thaddeus Young
C: Gorgui Dieng
 
Flip gonna go with the defensive lineup, see if it can score enough points.
 
Ok, so I'm probably kidding myself if I think Nikola Pekovic doesn't start, but they want to limit his minutes, anyway, and Dieng actually protects the rim. Start him.

You're probably right. I think they're better off with Dieng getting more minutes at the Center position, but I'm sure Pek will get 4-5 more. I think there's more upside with Gorgui, too.

It will be Kmart that's the starter, since at this point right now, Brewer and Wiggins are both similar players (defensive wings with athleticism but not a great jumper), and they need offense. Martin will start

Can't always tell with some coaches who get fixated on defense.

 

[Pugz]

i think kmart still gets the starting nod.
