I think both Domask and Goode will end up starting and be among the top 5 in minutes. Having Rodgers and Dain play heavy minutes together isn't a recipe for success due to lack of floor spacing.
I like this lineup a lot. I also like this lineup with dain at the 5. Ty and DD in P/R situations and your best shooters on the perimeter.
I think we start Dain but prefer this lineup (although I’d slot Guerrier in for Goode)
Not enough quickness in this lineup. Quick guards will blow by Rodgers and Goode.
If he's not playing on the trip - he's out! I want toughness. /s
Well Shannon better show up on the defensive end and this is expecting that if Rodgers is going to play the 1 then he is going to have to defend guards. Giving up quickness but his length and strength advantage should give him some cushion to cheat and recover if he gets beat.
See Domask, Marcus. Most compete offensive player on the roster just lacks the athleticism of Shannon.
I like Guerrier as depth but he played the best minutes of his career as a small ball 5 in college. He can shoot a bit and he's a good athlete but he's being miscast if you're asking him to play on the perimeter. Much better playing inside with the ability to pop out to stretch the floor occasionally.
Yeah, because there are lots of Alfonso Plummers out there no one wants on their team. He was an extremely rare case.
Well in my ideal lineup he’d play the 4, so he can get some post-ups going but also space the floor for us. Love the idea of Ty or DGL or Harmon at the one, and then Shannon-Domask-Guerrier-Coleman. Fun, modern, fast lineup that can play 5-out.
If the combo of Domask and Goode can play together and get minutes, then I think we’ll have plenty of shooting.

We obviously don't know how this season will play out, but not only did we add Domask who is a solid shooter, and a healthy Goode, but we will have better chemistry than last year, which leads to better offense and better spacing. A lot of our shots last year were one on one ball or late in the shot clock b/c our offensive execution as a whole was so poor. After the season we found out we had some locker-room cancers as well. I think we'll see a completely different team this year. I think they'll play more as a team and for the team, which will result in much better looks on the offensive end. I could be wrong, but I just have a feeling after our first few games to get jitters out and lock things in as a unit we'll see much better offensive execution in the halfcourt.
I don’t wanna sound like Gloomy Gus…because overall I think we’ll be competitive-good…
Bingo...it is BASKETball they play. However, with the speed and athleticism available in today's mix, shooting is not everything. But you have to have 3 or 4 guys that you can count on to make shots every day. This team has a couple. My hope is that DGL and Harmon can become dependable.
I think that ever since DWill, Dee, & Luther ran CP3 out of Assembly Hall back in 2004, teams with "great backcourts" have been our Kryptonite
