Some of the time Luka was part of the group, some of the time Brunson was there and for about a minute and a half there wasn't a PG at all.
That lineup was a key takeaway for me as well. Good energy. It's also your projected bench if Brunson starts. Green, THJ, Bullock & Chriss/Kleber along with one of Brunson or Luka.
Green is a bit of a knuckleballer out there. He still makes a lot of mistakes and there are times I wish he would just spot up in the corner after a cut but his movement really changes things up. He finds his way to unusual spots on the floor. He does a great job sacrificing himself with movement, to create lanes for other guys.
It also occurred to me that Kidd might be trying to turn him into a point guard. His handle needs work, but it makes some sense, especially if you're starting Brunson. Kidd seems to have history with - and affinity for - big PG projects who can't shoot. Something to keep an eye on.
