So this morning on the radio they were talking about the finishing lineup. As of right now, who would you want on the floor in the last couple of minutes in a close game? And why did you choose those players.
Here is mine.
PG George Hill--While I'm a believer in Dante Exum I have not yet seen enough to want him closing a close game.
SG Rodney Hood--He's better than Burks period, I may want to occasionally see Hayward here and Johnson at SF depending on opponent.
SF Gordon Hayward--He and Favors are our best players they both need to be on the floor.
PF Trey Lyles--I think his shooting and play making ability bring something to this team that is helpful in close games. His defense troubles me though.
C Derrick Favors--As said one of our 2 best players.
.
Close but not in finishing lineup.
Rudy Gobert--He needs to prove he can hit a FT, and contribute offensively. It's difficult to win a game playing 4 on 5 on offense.
Alec Burks--Not a big fan of his game, I think Hood is better.
Dante Exum--Have not seen enough, His defense is interesting, but as with Gobert need to see more on offense to play key minutes in a close game.
Joe Johnson--I may actually prefer him to Lyles, Not sure how well he can do at PF though. Probably the guy I'd be most likely to put in at the close of games instead of Lyles or Hood.
.
Just interested in how other people feel about the end of game lineups. It's interesting that we have far more options this year than last, hopefully that makes a big difference.
