Portland has all 15 spots filled. Who is going to be in the suit and tie on the bench?

Big men: Leonard or Freeland. Does Olshey put his lottery pick on the DNP list? How much time to either Leonard or Freeland get with Kaman in the mix and does T-Rob ever get to play? From the press conference it sounds like a 3-man rotation of Lopez/LA/Kaman.

Wing/Guard: Wright is probably safe so likely is it Claver and Crabbe? Are CJ and Barton going to get any minutes behind Dame/Wes/Blake?

:matrix:
 
Claver/Crabbe and then its the person who loses out in TC camp of Leonard/Freeland/Trob.
 
To me it's Crabbe, Leonard and CJ..Freeland is better than Leonard and Barton or Blake are better than CJ Claver and Freeland are better than folks think. Stotts like Dorell so he's going to play, Robinson will play..I'm not entirely convinced that CJ isn't just another Nolan Smith at this point. He has a lot to prove from my view although fans seem to like him alot.

Well, CJ is no prime D-Wade and he never will be. I like him better off our bench than Mo though.

The battle for minutes between CJ and Will, and the contrast in styles, will be interesting to watch.
 
Leonard and Crabbe should be in street clothes. If Crabbe can eventually beat out Clavier then switch them. Meyers is a nice guy with a good attitude but he's not an NBA quality player, doesn't belong on a roster.

CJ was the best 3pt shooter on the team after Wes and Dam. Very encouraging for rookie with injuries.
 
I never understood the logic of not being able to suit up 15 players or having the DNP system. To me it just limits your options game to game and realistically, the last 3 guys on the bench are not that crucial to a team's success.
 
Crabbe and Claver will be the suit guys. After that it's Freeland or Leonard. We need to play and develop Will and CJ to see what we have. I think a lot of guys here underestimate CJ. At least I hope that's the case.
 
In order of badness, it's

1. Leonard
2. Crabbe
3. McCollum
4. Claver

Everyone else is competent. McCollum hasn't had a season yet to prove he's a failure, so the other 3 should comprise the inactive list. This thread should be merged with the one in Posts 4 and 16 above, but won't at this late date.
