Skyy, Luke, RJ, TSJr, Coleman as starters ... but so much backup and flexibility ... very excited. Only thing missing is another big backup just for D and R, BBV fit that bill, but gone now.

Dainja kinda fits that bill…

Agreed. I'm thinking Skyy, TSJ, RJ, Coleman, and Dainja. However, w/o adding another PF/C, we might not want to start both Coleman and Dainja. Because there would literally be no one to be them up!

But we will almost for sure add a PF/C. If we're fortunate enough to get Nance (FWIW I think he stays in the draft), I think Nance in place of Dainja. But Dainja would still play lots of minutes.

Glad Coleman is (likely) sticking around. Skeptical that he'll be able to legitimately go pro next year (get drafted, that is), but I'd be happy to have him prove me wrong. He's got a lot of the tools, just needs to shoot it dramatically better. If he can do that, then I think he's got a chance. Need to have a Malcolm Hill-like summer.

Yeah. We're pretty thin at 4/5 position and could use 3 solid players there ... gives us more flexibility. Could start Goode at the 2 and Hawkman at the 5 ... or go bigger and start Dainja and Hawkman together (if we have that 3rd big/PF) with Goode coming off bench.

We might be thin at 5 right now if we need to play big but we have four good players who can play 3/4. I don't consider that thin. Almost a bit crowded.

Goode is good but he is not a 2.

3/4 is where he will get his minutes.

You're probably correct there. It's why a lot of people have gone away from the 1-5 nomenclature to point, combo, wing, big, etc. I guess I just look at him as a wing. He rebounds and is likely our best spot up shooter.

Agreed. We’re in great shape with 3s (Goode, RJ, Rodgers - all could help a bit at the 4 also). We’re definitely thin at C/PF. And we could use another true guard.

Goode’s best positions in order are 3-4-2. He “could” play SG, but it wouldn’t be ideal. Quickness and handles aren’t there.

Don't sweat the numbers, or as they say ... the small stuff. Just call Goode good, a wing, and a highly valued player who should start and/or play heavy min's. Happier?

I agree. A lot of fans think Coleman at the 4 and Dainja the 5. That’s not happening. We have plenty that can play the 4. Only Dainja and Cohawk can play the 5. Luke or Ty will start at the 4 and CoHawk at the 5. Dainja will back up Coleman. Only way this changes is if we get someone like Pete Nance.
