I expect Tyus Jones to start. This was a Kidd move. He's not a playoff caliber starter but this isn't a playoff team. We're talking about running a team the right way and not making rookie mistakes. Flagg deserves it. Same with Middleton. He'll be great for development. No way they turn this into a shit show and frustrate everyone. Flagg needs to continue to sharpen his mental axe. The vets will play, for sure. Bagley will backup Gafford.
AJJ might see Hardy-type minutes. The Mavs know what they have there. He has potential but obviously needs time.
