2021-2022 MAVS NEWS: 4th in West | WCF loss [ARCHIVED]

[ItsGoTime]

Starter 1 Primary creator: Luka
Starter 2 (shooter, secondary creator): Brunson or SD
Starter 3 (3-D wing): Bullock or DFS (but not both)
Starter 4 (big wing, 3-D, secondary creator): none
Starter 5 (center): none

I think this is pretty spot on with how I see this team. One thing I wanted to point out is the big wing kinda HAS to be a secondary creator because what we have as current options at the Starter 3 spot are 2 guys that don't provide that. IF we were to get someone like Brooks (that mold, not the player as I think he's a staple for MEM, Mann is another name for the mold), the Starter 4 can then just be a spot up 3 shooter, they CAN have secondary creator ability, but don't HAVE to have it (the more secondary creators the better).

BTW, a good post up player is secondary creation (emphasis on good), I think Collins makes a really good option at the big wing if we can pull together the assets to get him. In that case, I also think Kleber is the better 3rd big option for his shot blocking ability when he plays with Collins and 3 ability when he plays with the other big (and Collins for that matter). Getting Collins and keeping Powell as the 3rd big would take lots of figuring out when Powell and Collins play together.

Edit: Also, I think Maxi's money is on par with a 3rd big, Powell's is too close to being what we want for the starting C since we would not play him for stretches kinda like Zubac which lowers the minutes they all play.
