Move Alec back to the bench

Isn't our fanbase amazing? Trey sucks, Enes sucks and Alec ain't really cuttin it either but somehow in a strange really unexplainable way our starting five is outscoring teams by 5.2 per 100 possessions. Ehose dudes have to be playing with Bron and Dwight.

For god sakes let's just let those 24, 23, 23, 22 and 22 year old young adults ball. Just a couple of month. PLEASE
This.
Big time
 
We are playing well and most of us have been enjoying these games.... even the losses (except cy but he is never happy)

Well I think that is part of why people may want Burks on the bench, becasue we need scoring off the bench.

I don't know how many minutes exactly but It does seem like Quin plays Gordo or Alec with the 2nd unit quite often probably for this reason.

I used to be on board with this, but now I am leaning toward Putting Kanter on the Bench where he has Gobert to cover for him defensively and move Booker into the starting lineup. Feed Kanter a lot when he is in. The lesser quality of bench defender will help him see the passing lanes better too, where he can hit Hood or Ingles after the defense collapses. Once he can hit the guys standing open for three THEN we can start to teach him to look for cutters.

Nice stats btw.
I'm glad snyder is an analytics guy.

Hayward and favors seem to both be having the best years of thier career.

Kanter has been playing his best basketball recently.

Burks had a semi breakout game in thier last game.

Definately time to change that starting lineup right as everything might be on the brink of coming together for that unit.

Good point.
It's easy to have scoring with the backup unit.

Simply always have one of our better scorers in the game (alec, gordon, enes) with the bench players.
They can still all start
