What starting lineup should we run when Sengun returns?

Sengun
Smith
Amen
Jalen
FVV

 

I think until they figure out how to maximize Green and Sengun together, they ought to do as they did with Harden and CP3 and stagger their minutes as much as possible. Imagine having one of Green or Sengun on the court for all 48 minutes!

 

For 2024-25: FVH, JG, Amen, Zion, Bari

 

I would love for someone to trade for brooks in the offseason. He has had a decent year performance wise and has not been too out of control. Maybe someone seems him as someone who can help with their teams culture (maybe sas?)
I say that bc I would love for us to keep going young. Another possible line up for us is fvv, green, Eason, Thompson and senguin though that team will be short on shooting
Would be great if green, Eason and senguin improve their shooting

 

I think the difficult part is maximizing amen with Sengun. He is the one who really benefited from more space. Green is basically playing better and making more shots which was the case even before Sengun got injured. Having Sengun or green on the floor at all times sounds good.

we’ll need some experimentation. I’d start with replacing brooks with amen and see how it goes.

 

We basically have different line ups with some players playing different roles in each. The style of play should change depending on what is needed nightly. We have the Brooklyn pick to mix in as well. We are looking so deep and talented. A lot of players pair well together; Green and Amen, Sengun and Brooks, Smith and Eason, and FVV and Cam fit well with everyone. We have some solid veteran role players in Jeff Green & Adams as well. I can’t remember the team ever looking so diverse yet cohesive. More shooting

 

I went with option one, too congested, opposing team just pack the paint when you have 2 guys together in Amen and Şengün that can't stretch the floor.

 

Will Tari Eason only return after next season ? Is his injury that serious?

 

If Sengun comes back this season, I'm sorry but Amen has to come from bench. You can't start Amen and Sengun at the same time for now. Maybe next season if Sengun becomes a level of shooter NBA defenses will close out on or Amen entirely transforms his jump shot. The former is much more likely as Sengun doesn't have to fundamentally break down his form and start from scratch like Amen. For Sengun it's much more about confidence to not hesitate.

IF Sengun comes back this season then you play the original starting line up of Alpi, Bari, Dillon, Jalen, FVV

 

I went with Van Vleet, Green, Thompson, Smith, and Sengun. However the floor spacing with 2 sub .300 shooters might bog down the offense at times.

 

adding insult to injury. reported.

 

I doubt we change anything this year. I'd be interested to see this lineup in limited minutes:

Green
Amen
Brooks
Jabari
Sengun

Spacing would be less but this is for science.

 

Actually if it's just for experiments sake, id replace Brooks for Whitmore, slot him in the two and move Amen to the three

I mean it will for sure result in a lot of highlights for sure.

 

He just had surgery.
