Are we stacked?

This roster is stacked! I suspect a lot of small ball will be played this year with Vanderbilt being the 5. You can also rest Bogey, and Mike without a major talent drop. Our bench depth is the most entertaining part of this team to me. Hardy can experiment with a lot of different rotations.
 
I think maybe this team can be pretty good on offense, but I just don't see it on defense

I think if you added a center who could spread the floor a little and rebound, then you might be ok (like play-in ok). We are probably a bottom 5 defensive team in the NBA next year with these guys though.

There are a lot of question marks with that group. Is Fontecchio a legit NBA player (I'm leaning towards yes)? What does Conley have left? Can THT be a net positive when he's on the court? Will Donovan/the rest of the team be too distracted by trade talks throughout the year? What is Hardy like as a HC?

We are likely too good with that core to be a true tanking team though. We probably need to get rid of at least Bogey and Vanderbilt to bottom out.

Lol, I'm laughing too at how many people are doubting this team.

I suppose it's because nobody has seen THT, Vanderbilt, Beasley, and Simone play and thinks they are just back of the bench role players.

Gobert was our defensive anchor, but we really had no answer for small ball lineups.

I guess I'm one of the rare few that thinks the team could hit it off great and make some noise.

And trust me, I'll be laughing, too if that happens. Seeing everybodies reaction here will be hilarious af.

Vanderbilt can do the things Royce did, but better. Udoka is no Gobert, but this will be his first year getting big boy minutes, so we have no idea what to expect from him. He could be a dud, or he could be the next big thing. We were never an elite perimeter defensive squad in the first place, so we are really only missing our elite interior defense.

New offensive scheme, new defensive scheme. If I'm the only one that sees that this squad could surprise the NBA this year, so be it. We have far better depth than we've had in the past seasons. You've got 3, potentially 4 guys off the bench that can put up 20 points on any given night, and previously we had only JC that could give us that.
