Post the 5 man lineup you’re most excited to see next season

I won't ridicule but I also can't stand to think about next season's lineups right now. Subtract Collins and Sexton and this current roster is beyond awful. A max 15 win team.

Ace Bailey, a stick figure of a kid who was a selfish, losing college player, has a long way to go to having any kind of a positive effect in the NBA. Hell, that may never happen. Let's just admit this is another massive gamble.

Im surprised no one has the correct answer thus far which is obviously:

WCJ
Ace
Lauri
Hendricks
Kessler

Or then its in the eye of the beholder or smth.

this.

There are an awesome number of different actions this lineup is capable of. The gravity that Lauri and WCJ can exert simultaneously—one on-ball (or in Lauri's case, screening for the ball handler), the other off-ball—could potentially tear defenses in two. There are so many different variations here; Golden State is a great model.

BTW, if AA wants to start winning, he should be calling Dumars about Murphy III everyday. A Kessler-Murphy PnR with off-ball screening actions involving WCJ and Lauri could grow into a top-5 offense. It's really too bad that Ace is such a neophyte playmaker.

So what? If we don’t win 15 games, we’ll get another top five pick in a loaded top of the 2026 draft, AND have a legit asset in Ace, even if he plays ******.

Feels like this lineup would struggle with passing.

Im not too worried about high level passers yet. Hardys system emphasizes on the simple read and pass along with ball rotation so WCJ can initiate the offense in that system just fine.

I mean JC and Sexton have done it.
 
We trade Lauri and Collins.

Collier
Clayton
Ace
Hendricks
Filip

Let the young guys develop while losing trying to win games. This sets up for us to get another elite prospect, and if you believe the nba is rigged maybe the nba wants to give us the home town hero.

There has been a noticeable difference from an offensive flow and feel when Conley was running the offense or when Collier was on the court with Lauri/Collins.

This is all subjective, since this is thread is about "what you are excited to see." So if you think it's fine, it's all good.

I guess I'm just worried in general about our lack of passing/ play making. I think we took a team that was already bad and added two very poor for their position players in the draft.
