I hope Tinsely does because I think he will help Favors and Kanter develop and get them the ball more often.

Lucas can be energy off the bench.
 
Tinsley is better for Favors and Kanter and Lucas's scoring is needed on the bench.
 
Tinsley should be on the floor with Kanter/Favors as much as possible. Having said that, realistically, he's only good for about 24 mpg. Anything more than that is pushing it

I'd go with Tinsely starting and 24mpg. JLIII for 16 and Burks for 8.
 
Probably Tinsley so Lucas can remain the back-up off the bench and then when Burke comes back Lucas remains in the same role and Tinsley becomes the 3rd guard.
 
With Favors showing that he is actually an offensive weapon against the Clippers, I say Tinsley, because he makes the players around him better. Oh, and Lucas can pass out the drinks for all i care. The only way he becomes helpful on the floor is if he is a scoring point while Burks runs the offence off the bench. And that's a stretch. he really doesn't impress me much at all

A better poll would be who gets time backing up 3 when he gets back; Tinsley or Lucas. See, if Tinsley comes off the bench, then Burks would be mostly a 2 guard scorer on the floor, while if Lucas comes in, Burks would be primarily a playmaker with Lucas tanking (er taking) shots.
 
Personally I'd prefer Tinsley for his playmaking abilities, but I think it should (and probably will) be Lucas just because there seems to be less chance of a locker room rift that way.

Problem with tinsley out there with kanter and fav is that we all saw last year how defenses would sag off and clog the paint creating doubles on our bigs.

No one respects tinsleys outside shot
 
That's actually a good point. However, Tinsley started to nail the 3 when left wide open last year, so at least there's that. I guess Tinsley can be a player coach, and hopefully a development coach for the guards maybe, just saying.

Agree with this Tinsley is the best option we have right now and will feed the ball to a rampaging Kanter and Favors when needed instead of looking for his own shot first 20-25 minutes is right for him start and finish with Tinsley it also takes pressure of Hayward in ball handling so he can free himself up more on O.
