a tiny I told you so

According to Rexrode, Izzo and I are on the same page – Herzog is option number one to start at center. He’s the man you want to step up.

Hooray!

60 minutes of cousins is just what I need.

is my preference as well. That leaves Green coming off the bench, but I think he will get plenty of minutes spelling Roe, Morgan, and Herzog/Sherman/Nix when we go small. Not a bad option to bring in as a sixth man.

If Lucious doesn’t have any setbacks and gets back into peak shape by the start of the conference season, this team is looking really good. The only true questionmark is at center – we have quality players two deep at the guard positions and forward.
