Landry Shamet is going to get so many open 3 point looks. People sleep on him.

Saw a pic of him hitting the weights recently and he's looking like he added some decent muscle, could really help out his game.

Rodney Mcgruder highlights, he was throwing a lot of lobs to Whiteside in this vid, I think he's going to work really well with Trez

Is Montrezl's rebounding a problem, not a problem, only if we're nit-picking?

For being such a force and for such an energy guy, you would think Harrell would have better Rebounding Stats.

6.5 per game (26.3 mins) -- 5.5 in the Playoffs
8.9 per 36 mins -- 7.5 in the Playoffs
13.1 Reb% -- 11.6% in the Playoffs

He's a pretty good offensive rebounder, could be that he's boxing out to allow the guards to get D Rebs to initiate the offense faster, Beverly grabbed 38 boards the final 3 games vs GS

Yeah, Beverly averaged 8.0 Rebs/G in the Playoffs. Speaking of GS, Montrezl's stats are similar to Draymond Green's; another not-so-tall, high activity, PF.

I can not wait for the season. Press conference was great!

What's the Lineup you expect to see most of?

There are rumblings that Shamet might be playing more Point Guard, which he played at Wichita State, so I have him as back up PG.

PG - Pat Beverley -- Landry Shamet (8th)
SG - Paul George -- Lou Williams (6th)
SF - Kawhi Leonard -- Maurice Harkless (9th)
PF - JaMychal Green -- Mfiondu Kabengele (10th; <9th, by season's end)
C - Ivica Zubac -- Montrezl Harrell (7th)


EDIT: The more I think about it, the more minutes/FGA I see for Landry Shamet. Lou's usage will dip, Shamet's will increase.

Good question, I'm not sure there are so many good options on this team. I think Shamet will start due to his shooting and floor spacing ability. He might come off the bench though. If we go small I can see a starting line-up of Beverly, Shamet, Leonard, George, Zubac. Or we could go Beverly, George, Leonard, Green, Zubac. Some parts are interchangeable and fit seamlessly. Green can start at the 4 or 5 and Harkless is even an option at the 4 occasionaly. To close games I could see a line-up of Beverly, Lou, Leonard, George, and Harrell depending on the match up. That line-up is small but that's the style in today's league and all of those guys can rebound outside of Lou. That line-up has a great combination of offense and defense. Man, to think we could even have a sniper like Shamet out there, just so many options on this team.

George might miss the start of the year. If that's the case, I expect to see this starting line-up

Beverly
Shamet
Leonard
Green
Zubac

Mo Harkless might start some games at the 4
