Who's our starting SF?

[Blazer4ever]

We need another SF, someone who makes Aminu and Harkless bench players, who's that player?

 

[Blazer4ever]

How about James Johnson from Toronto?

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Why does Aminu need to be a bench player? He is just fine as our 3, having a lockdown defender is needed.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Al-Faroq Al-Aminu Al

 

[Trackjack]

I think it Aminu to loose so he better not sleep on harkless.

 

[MARIS61]

At the moment it's Mike Miller.

At the trade deadline and/or next summer the 2 targets are clear.

The deal of the Century uniting Durant and LeBron on the same team.

 

[Blazer4ever]

Who are the starters at the wing-positions? Henderson and Aminu? CJ and Henderson? CJ and Aminu?

 

[Mediocre Man]

Who fucking cares?

Its an asset aquisition year.

 

[Denny Crane]

Crabbe.

 

[Pinwheel1]

Crabbe.

I would not sleep on Crabbe either. He has a solid all around game. It all depends who the other starters are.
If they go Plumlee/Davis up front...... I go Crabbe
If they go Plumlee/Leonard up front...I go Aminu

 

[Denny Crane]

I said Crabbe because he was the backup SF last year and had some pretty good success there. I'm not seeing that anyone else is a significantly better option. Plus it allows us to develop one of our own picks.

I loved the pick on draft day. Still do.

 

[MickZagger]

How about James Johnson from Toronto?

I'm down with that. Hustle player, great defense, supposed to be a great teammate. Would bring toughness. Hopefully Aminu can live up to what Olshey envisions him as.

 

[HomerLovesKoolAid]

Sly, please change thread title to:

"Which backup small forward do we start?"

 

[blue9]

Aminu starts at the beginning of the season. Hopefully Harkless is starting by the end of the season (for reasons unrelated to injuries).

And he's gonna KILL. I'm really high on him having a breakout season. He also has a huge chance to be MIP if he earns consistent minutes.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Next season it will be Durant.

 

[Hobbesarable]

And he's gonna KILL. I'm really high on him having a breakout season. He also has a huge chance to be MIP if he earns consistent minutes.

I totally agree. He's going to start because of his defensive prowess which we are going to need. In fact, I'd be willing to bet he's the best defender we have on the team.

Btw, thanks for the awesome video, partner!

 

[Reep]

You have three reasonable choices (and no, it won't be Miller)
Aminu: probably the likely starter unless he gets unseated by the other two;
Crabbe: if he can be more aggressive in scoring;
Harkless: if he really did improve is 3 pt shot and can bring that consistently.

He's the under the radar X factor in a lot of ways. Batum praised him as a SF and he plays better with the starting unit than he does off the bench. He'll have to beat Aminu in training camp to get the starter role but it's not beyond reason that he could do it. He's definitely got a leg up on the playbook and more chemistry with Damian going into his 3rd year here

This, I agree, could be a big factor. I wouldn't be opposed to Aminu starting, but I also like the idea of Crabbe providing that additional spacing that would open things up a bit more for Dame.

at 4:40 he totally destroyed harden hahahahahaha

 

[dviss1]

at 4:40 he totally destroyed harden hahahahahaha

YES... that was AWESOME.

 

[PCmor7]

I think Aminu's the starter there and I think Crabbe gets some minutes there when we go with a small lineup with Damian and CJ on the court together.

 

[Chris Craig]

Aminu will start at the beginning of the season...Crabbe will see some starts but come off the bench for the most part...Harkless will ride the bench

 

[Trackjack]

I wouldn't count out harkless backing up Aminu. I can see Crabbe playing the 2-3 when the minutes are available.

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

Crabbe is better than harkless.... And honestly I like crabbes game more than animus.

I hope crabbe starts at sg, with Cj still getting30 minutes or so at sg. I really don't care for Henderson on our team, even though I like his game, I'd move him asap for any assets

What are people smoking these days?

 

[riverman]

It's going to be a dogfight in training camp for rotation spots...not a bad thing to have Better than having a post game Lamarcus interview when he says Jared Jeffries takes a lot of charges because he can't jump

 

[KingSpeed]

Aminu
