That man had 10 rebounds, 5 dimes, and knocked down a three ball in just 23 minutes

His touchdown fast ball outlet to Obi was one of the highlights of the game and he had several other passes DHO and short rolls that led to good ball movement
He nearly responsible for most of the Pacers inside points. Laughable.

there is a discussion not for this year but probably next year that (when Rose might be gone) maybe RJ should lead the bench unit.

Though it would require a upgrade on Fournier as a wing (who I legit feel is a piece they should look to upgrade in general).

Brunson/IQ
Grimes/RJ
???/Reddish
Randle/Toppin
Mitch/Hart

On the low we might see this during the season because it does look like Thibs wants to experiment.

It’s me just trying to think what do they when Rose is gone, and would two 3 pt shooters works in the starting lineup

Brunson/IQ
Grimes/RJ
Fournier/Reddish
Randle/Toppin
Mitch/Hart

Isn’t actually bad except I don’t like Fournier’s defense. You couldn’t zone the starters, and the bench is led by RJ with support from IQ, Toppin, Reddish (we hope), and IHart in a five man out offense.

They don’t do it because they got Rose this season. However, it’s not crazy once Rose is gone.

Cam probably is gone before next season one way or the other. And they didn't extend RJ just to bench him once his real money starts kicking in, and definitely not to play behind Fournier who's not a 3.....like at all lol

Keep in mind for lineup scenarios, you don't need 10 people for a quality rotation if guys can play multiple positions
