Message: [QUOTE="REB1094, post: 5324539, member: 12147"] I consider depth to be the the strongest players from spot #1 to the end of the rotation, not just how many serviceable players we have The team to beat is 2023. The 8/9th guys were Diarra and Calcaterra. Technically in terms of minutes played it was Diarra and Clingan. But, like Reibe this year, Clingan was the clear backup C that was always going to get minutes every single game. He wasn’t that fringe rotation guy PG - I’ll take Silas over 2023 Newton over the course of the entire season. I have high expectations. This could end up being wrong SG - if Solo comes back with improved defense and a more developed scoring game, he wins. If he comes back as the same player, I go Hawkins. So call it a wash for now SF - I’m calling this one a wash. Braylon is a better overall player than Andre Jackson, but 2023 doesn’t come close to happening without Andre. It’s really hard to compare value at SF PF - 2026 Karaban > 2023 Karaban C - giving the nod to Adama until Tarris proves me wrong 6-7th: Clingan and Alleyne should be > Stewart and Reibe 8-9th: Malachi and either Ross/Furphy vs. Diarra and Joey. This should go to the current team, assuming Malachi is healthy and one of Ross or Furphy steps up So 3 positions in favor of 2026, 2 in favor of 2023, and 2 washes with some potential swings based on how Silas performs and how much Solo develops. AKA, impossible to tell until we see them play :) [/QUOTE]
