If you were Snyder who would be your starting 5 when the season kicks off?

There are a lot of options. The one that I am starting to like is

Hill
Exum
Hood
Favors
Gobert

I think the defense of Exum on the perimeter can't be understated. Hood becomes Hayward until Hayward returns.

Johnson is the 6th man on the roster. Also more minutes for mack.

There is go with your best

Hill
Hood
Johnson
Favors
Gobert

Thsee are you best players at the moment at their respective positions. Exum becomes your 6th man or lyles.

There is the bizarre

Hill
Hood
Lyles
Favors
Gobert

With favors and gobert in the middle they would erase some of lyles defesive short comings. Spacing would be great as would length.

Then Johnson again is your 6th man not to mention freeing up minutes for diaw.
 
With Gordo out it'll be:

Hill
Hood
JJ
Favors
Gobert

I agree. I think you could sit JJ around the five minute mark, bring in Exum and put him alongside Hill for maybe the next 3-5 minutes. I'd probably take Favors out around that 5:00 mark in the 1st too and bring Lyles in. We'd still have Gobert behind him til the end of the 1st that way. A lot of possibilities.
 
Exum still really can't shoot, I wouldn't want to start him. Much rather have Joe Johnson as a shooter with Exum coming off bench as playmaker.
 
I'd go with Exum myself, but it's very likely that Joe Johnson will be the starter on opening day. I would give consideration to Ingles too. His shooting/passing ability would be valuable for an offense centered around Favors.
 
Another reason to not start Exum:

Do you really want him to get more minutes as a 2 opposed to coming off the bench as a 1?
 
I'll take Exum at PG
..........Hood at SG
..........Hayward at SF
..........Favors at PF
..........Gobert at C

Real season starts when they have these guys starting

GHill,ABurks,JIngles,TLyles,BDiaw 2nd unit

JIngles,SMack 11th,12th man
