Other thing is with our ensemble approach we just cant afford to have a guy who could threaten to go 0-for on any given night in the starting lineup. GS can get away with that because they have 4 all stars, we got away with it with the likes of Joel Anthony and Ronnie Turiaf, McGruder is a nice scrappy role player but I'll be expecting a different look in the starting unit Saturday
It's why I made my previous statement about Mcgruder. He's not a dude we should be relying upon in any serious capacity. His role in a good world should be what dudes like Derek Andersen was on the '06 team. Break glass in case of injury or when you're looking for stops. Also why I want to throw Winslow into the fire at SF. Time to figure what we have.

I didn't even realize Mcgruder started 65 games last year. 
I thought he was taller than 6'4
He didn't even shoot well
Start J-rich

Eh, Rodney played 16 minutes and a lot of the looks that he normally would have gotten was in the first quarter when the whole team was playing like straight trash. We just saw him drop 10 points against the Hawks when given some looks so I ain't gonna hold this game against anyone yet.
I was kinda annoyed at JJ for them pull up 3s and these fouls though but it's pre-season.
I saw a lot of good looks that didn't fall, horrible free throw shooting, and some ugly clunky basketball.
I wouldn't mind changes in the starting J-Rich but his defensive magic is lost against bigger and stronger forwards. We gain some offensive versatility though.
I think starting Winslow and Olynyk would be best though.

Sinister is a system
Yea i olynyk and winslow in the starting line up was the obvious choice because he creates space for winslow and white while also being a capable passer but spo just doing his spo bot lineups to see what he got out there. Rodney is a scrappy pesky player but he better as a spark from the bench cause most starting forwards will shoot over him

Not seeing Winslow's role so far on offense
Was thinking the same thing. He's kind of lost on that end thus far, there doesn't seem to be a clear plan on what they want to do with him. I'd like to see the ball in his hands more, put him in some PnR and let him get downhill to create for others.

Any changes to the starting lineup?
Waiters/McGruder/Rich/Olynyk/Whiteside. Dragic got the night off
