Line-ups/Rotations You'd Like to See

Start Ingles in place of Royce. Get Bojan and Conley out early for Green and O'neal. Later get Conley and Bojan back in for Mitchell and Ingles.
This makes Bojan the primary scorer when Ingles and Mitchell are out, he is better suited to that role than Ingles is.
The problem is backup C, without Davis they are hurting there. Bradley is not an NBA rotation player, They really need to address this if Davis is not back soon.

Not sure how to fit Mudiay and Exum into this rotation though. They should each get 10 MPG somewhere to keep the starters from playing so many minutes.
 
The last segment of Locke's podcast today talked about our lineups and how poor our lineup is with only a couple starters. He suggested we play our regular 6 as much as possible, and when they're off the floor just go with a full energy unit. He mentioned perhaps Mudiay, Mitchell, Oni, Brantley, and whatever big you wanted. I thought it was interesting, especially as our lineups with bench guys and a couple starters isn't that great, that you may as well maximize the good guys playing together and just weather the storm when they're out.
 
Wish we would use the Co/Do/Joe/Bo/Go lineup more often. It's not as good defensively as the starting lineup with Royce but it's much better offensively. At the very least I wish would use it every game in the last few minutes of the 2nd and 4th quarters, which was being reported as the plan before the season started.

 
I would like to experiment for a few games with the line-up of Rudy, Royce, Bojan, Ingles, & Mitchell. That would include 4 guys who know the offensive system from last year, plus Bojan who I think has integrated really well. I could see this unit being especially fun in transition. Defensively it could be really interesting as well with a lot of versatility and above average guard/wing rebounders.
This 5 man lineup now has the best net rating in the NBA (of lineups with at least 120 minutes) and it will stink if we only get to see it a few minutes of it each game once Conley comes back.

On another rotation note, I would like to see how a 3 guard bench unit of Conley, Mudiay, & Clarkson would do. Obviously this lineup surrenders a lot on defense, but I think it could be interesting against other bench units.
 
It's such a stark contrast to how we play defense but I wonder how an in-yer-face defense would look with Rayjon, Royce and Juwan. Royce is going to spend more time with the bench. Rayjon is quick as **** and has all the makings of a hound defensively. Morgan has shown he has quick hands and looks mobile enough.

We would give up some looks any fastbreaks we get out of it is a bonus. Rayjon and Royce could run the floor and Niang could be the trailer for the 3. It would definitely surprise opponent benchs.
