What do you mean 3 games isn't a big enough sample size to draw any conclusions...you gonna try to stop me?

Through the first 3 games, the starting lineup hasn't really jelled yet...they have a net rating of -2.2 despite the big start in the Toronto game. BUT...the next two most used lineups have been incredibly effective!

Rudy, Naz, Ant, DiVo and NAW have been an absurd +68 in their 25 possessions!

And swap in Randle for Rudy, and that combo is a +27.8 in 29 possessions.

Obviously we need to get Mike going, and to some extent Jaden. But way too early evidence has us as the best bench in the league. Imagine how the bench is going to look once DiVo starts shooting like he can?

Heh, you're right, it is too early. But it doesn't take a lot of stat analysis to realize we basically have 8 starting-caliber players in our rotation. What combination of them works best and against which match ups is the puzzle that Finch and his staff have to solve, because to your point above, the starting 5 is likely not going to be our best lineup.
