Who is your starting 5

[Tom Pitt]

That would be the Absolute Worst shooting starting lineup in the game of BBALL. Showing again you know nada about this game.. Exum is still so raw and not ready to be a starter in the nba.
I know you are Family to Exum but the kid needs time. Throw a player like him, who didn't grow up playing ball in America and you are risking ruining his career before it has even started. Would ruin his confidence and break him down to nothing. If you are starting Exum then you would have to sit Favors or slide him to the 5 and put Lyles in a the 4. Good luck playing ball with 3 guys who cant shoot. Defending this lineup would be beyond simple.

I think we went 19-10 with that lineup and over that 29 game sample size had a defensive rating that, if sustained over a full season, would have been like top 10 ever. Not saying we'd sustain it for a full season; maybe but it's unlikely. Just trying to convey that lineup probably wouldn't crash and burn, and would even be formidable.

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?

If pre-season is any indication Exum will see plenty of minutes at the 2.

healthy Burks, it would be Hill, Burks, Hood, Favors, Gobert

not healthy Burks, it would be Hill, Exum, Hood, Favors Gobert

Burke's is better suited on the bench. At 35 I don't think JJ can sustain being the leader on offense for the bench, but I believe Burks can. JJ is better served playing more of a support role

I think our best lineup with a gun to our heads is Hill, Hood, Hayward, Favors, Gobert.

However, I'd be interested in seeing Exum start at point, move Hill to the 2, and Hayward at the 3 with Hood off the bench. That'd be something else.

U might want to sit down for this, but Hayward has a factured finger.

I'd like to see Hill moved to the 2, and have Exum start at pg. Exum would guard sg's obviously. I'd rather see Exum on ball more then off ball. This plays to the strengths of both Exum and Hill. Sg and sf do an awful lot of running the offense on this team anyway.

I think that will be the plan eventually. Right now though they want to ease Exum back into things, and SG duty is a lot easier than PG duty.
