What starting lineup would you like to see on opening night?

[Csfan1984]

Rondo, Turner, Green, Olynyk, Sully

That way you have better depth and chemistry even if you apply a unit sub policy it's a balanced line up.

Rondo/Smart/Pressey
Turner/AB (our 6th man)
Green/CJ/Young
Olynyk/Bass
Sully/Zeller/Fav

Can't say I care for that starting lineup.  I have my doubts that Turner can operate well alongside Rondo since he's a ball-dominant player who can't shoot from the outside.

Starting lineup I'd guess is:

Rondo
Bradley
Green
Sully
Zeller

I'd have no problems with that lineup.

I agree AB is better for a catch and shoot with Rondo. Just feel we need two strong and familiar with the offense weapons off the bench. That is only reason I have AB and Bass not starting over the "currently" weaker Olynyk and Turner.

I agree, and it seems to be the most popular lineup suggested on this thread. That makes Turner the sixth man, a role I think he would thrive in. Bass is the first big off the bench giving you toughness and a decent midrange jumper. Olynyk, well call me unconvinced at this point. So far he is king of the Summer League (2 years running) a title once held by the immortal Kedrick Brown.  He is a 3rd stringer until the proves he can play better defense and mix it up inside with the big boys. He is a point-center right now which is not a bad thing but he has to do more as a big.

I would like to see Turner beat out Bradley.  I never liked the 6'4" SG and hate a 6'2" one.  A 6'7" would be great.  With that said.

Rondo
Turner
Green
Sully
Zellef

Working with who we have now and assuming no trades occur I would go with:

Rondo
Bradley
Green
Sullinger
Zeller

With main back ups being

Smart
Young
Olynyk
Turner

In an ideal situation I really want to see Green, Bass and Anthony traded. (Would love to see Wallace shipped out but I know that is not happening)

I really want to let the youngsters get their lumps but get playing time. I would rather see player growth than ten more wins.

Olynyk and Sully get my vote, at least for a little while so they both can build confidence.  Then I would hope Brad goes back to the flex lineup based on lineups.  Bass replacing Oly for quicker PFs, and then Zeller for quicker Cs (along with Oly if the PF is too fast for Sully).

I know Bradley will start at the 2, but I've been liking Thornton there ever since we got him.  Rondo would obviously be better off with the best scorer/shooter, and Bradley/Smart just seems like a strong duo.

[Fred Roberts]

Rondo and Bradley are locks for the starting back court. I think the rest is up in the air.

Stevens could do Green at the 3 or 4 depending.. but he's the 3rd lock to start. The last two are going to be best player available. Maybe if Evan T falls in line his skill set gets him on the court.

Rondo
Bradley
Turner
Green
Sullinger/Olynyk/Zeller or Fab (take your pick)

I bet Stevens looks to get Turner and Green on the floor together.

The same one I hoped for last season


RR
AB
Green
Sully

I wouldn't hate having Turner in for Green but I don't prefer it. Can/does Thornton play the 3? I want it to be Green for defense, he needs to guard guys like KD and LBJ.

[beklog]

Rondo
Bradley
Green
Sully
Zeller

this will be a great run and gun team.. assuming Sully is in shape to run
unless he wants to roll down the court

Probably meant Fav.

He just has a blocked nose.

[hwangjini_1]

Smart
Bradley
Green
Sully

First off the bench is rondo, then olly.

[Fred Roberts]

Ha, yes Fav. Haha. Though I did hold high hopes for Fab not that long ago.

Unfortunately, no.  He's a great shooter in the mold of Ben Gordon and Vinnie Johnson with his ability to heat up in a hurry off the bench, but he's just terrible on defense.  I believe he's 6'4" with short arms.  Great...(sarcasm).

Rondo
Smart
Young or Turner

I like this one, TP.  Interesting approach.  I believe that that would be the first time in history that all three frontcourt players are decidedly better shooters than their teammates in the backcourt   It would certainly make for an interesting dynamic offensively.
