We suddenly have a potential log jam of wings/forwards
Storr, Griffen, KJ, furphy, kugel, jamari, passmore, clemence
And I don't know if any of them can really play the 2 the way bill traditionally likes a secondary ball handler there

Zeke might be a better fit to start at the 2 than anyone else

jamari 1/2
Griffen 2/3
Kugel 2/3
Furphy 2.5/3.5
Storr 3/4
KJ 4/5
Clemence 4/5
you lumped together a whole chunk of dissimilar players together right there
I mean? from Jamari to Clemence and KJ? you might as well include everyone else and say omg how are they gonna all play the same spot?

Knew someone would... thats why i said wing/forward.
That whole group is kind of multi positional
I see kj, storr, and clemence all competing for minutes at the 4. Storr will be playing minutes at the 3 also obviously. And clemence and kj will probably play 5 as well. Hell we could 4 guard lineups with any combination of Griffen furphy or kugel out there at the 4 as well
We got a big group of dudes there competing for minutes at different spots, and self has the luxury of tinkering with lineups and skillsets more so than last year

I see Jamari more as a 2/3
Storr 2/3/4
Kugel 2/3 (not going to matter since it doesn't seem like he's coming)
Kj 3/4/5
Clemence 4/5
Furphy 2/3
Griffen 2/3
So, pretty close to yours. Clemence isn't a wing.

I don't think Kj will be any meaningful minutes at the 5 next year with HD and Bidunga. Something has gone terribly wrong if we end up with Kj at the 5.

Why is everyone telling me clemence isn't a wing and ignoring the forward part?
Clemence is competing for minutes at the 4 and 5. Depending on lineups and situations. All these guys are pretty versatile and competing for minutes with eachother. How self pieces it all together will evolve over the course of the season, we have a lot of versatile players that can play several positions. It'll be fun watching self tinker with that and find what lineups play best together

I agree. But he's an option there. We can play position less basketball with a lot of these guys. We got a handful of tall athletes that can shoot and guard multiple positions. That's high level modern basketball

because you lumped a weird conglomerate of dudes in there to create a point.
that's like saying. we've got 12 guys but only 5 of them can play at a time. Umm, yep, that's how this sport works.

Not really. We have three guys that are exclusively gonna play combo guard 1/2 spot in dajuan zeke and elmarko, and we have 2 guys who are gonna only play the 5 in hunter and bidunga
Everyone else are versatile players you'd expect to play multiple position in different lineups and right now it's impossible to guess how the depth chart with all them is going to play out

He’d better hope Anthony Edwards wins MVP and NBA Finals MVP next three seasons running then.

I predict Johnny Furphy will play basketball at Kansas or another college, the NBA or internationally next season.

I agree, but my Magic 8-Ball says he might also incur a terrible injury.
