We still need defense and rebounding. We are losing games in the 4th because we can't secure a rebound.

Yep. That's a good point.

Seems like the rebounding issue is more a byproduct of an undersized front court.

But the overall concern regarding defense isn't lost on me...With Trae and Bogdan spacing the floor, might we get away with more Capela and Okongwu playing together?

There is zero reason why Quin shouldn't play big, particularly when we are being out hustled and out muscled on the boards. Playing The Matthews should not be an option for defense and reboundung. I'd rather give Bruno those minutes.
I was surprised CC/OO didnt see any minutes vs Drummond.

Trae is the new pistol Pete. Really needs our incompetant FO to build a team around him.

JJ at the 3 and OO at the 4 would be a good start

Since Jalen came back from injury, this has been our starting five -- the results have not been pretty when all 5 share the court together.

Hawks are 2-2 over this stretch but have led in every game in the 2nd half.

Bey is bad at defense and he isn't making his 3s.

I'm really curious to see what the numbers look like for this rotation after the Philly Game:

So this is the lineup I've been most excited to see play extended minutes. The results over the last few weeks have been disappointing.

Saddiq is really bad on defense (I'm screaming instructions at my TV for him to move, rotate, shift, turn your head etc.) and what we expected from him shooting the 3 ball has been abysmal. He has missed so many corner 3s it's frustrating and when he does miss he turns the ball over by stepping out of bounds. Just last night, OO made two great passes to him for open corner 3s - MISS and MISS. I could live with the defense if the offense was on point.

Speaking of OO making those passes, we can see how limiting CC is on that side of the ball when it comes to helping create an offensive flow.

I know it's only one game against a lowly Raptors team, but this starting five was dominant offensively on Sunday afternoon.

They were even better when Okongwu was subbed in for Capela.

Bey doesn't really do anything positively for us as a starter. He's never been a good shooter and this year he is shooting awfully from 3, doesn't facilitate, has short arms and bad lateral quickness, and is an okay rebounder.

As a bench guy that's probably okay, but the wing is the biggest issue for us.

Capela, based on analytics, has been the weak link this season:
