2017 Champions

This is our best rotation. I'll explain why.

Russell/Clarkson/Ingram/Randle/Nance Jr
Williams/Young/Deng/Robinson/Black
Huertas/Calderon/Metta/Zubac/Mozgov

The balance of that rotation should be obvious.

Russell and Clarkson have chemistry from last year, even calling themselves the swag brothers at one point. Both 6'5" combo guards, that can playmake for themselves, each other, and the rest of the team.

Randle and Nance Jr have both been compared to draymond green and i like the idea of either of them getting a rebounding and pushing. And of course Ingram needs be out there on the perimeter with Clarkson creating steals and deflections that lead to easy buckets.

Williams and YOung are the same player in a lot of ways, and I like the potential of those two to get flurries of buckets off the bench. Deng would be a "glue guy" in this scenarion hopefully, setting Robinson and Black with some easy dunks. Also, given that Robinson and Black put in work on the offensive glass it gives even freer reign for Williams and Young to let it fly.

Huertas and Calderon are bring that spanish connection and savvy internation play to our squad. And Mozgov and Zubac bring that slavic connection(idk). And Metta, aka the Panda's Friend is yet another savvy veteran that fits in with those guys.

So, that is our best and proper rotation and will in face prove good enough to win the whole damn thing this year.

top 5 defense/offense with the rotation they have on the bench right now, so nope. They need to shore up the defense in the starting unit, Mozgov can't close out on shooters and Deng has been lackluster to say the least. Randle's getting there, but still gives up on plays at times and loses focus.

The point is that if Luke Walton is going to preach defense, it makes sense to start the game with guys that are getting it done defensively. Clarkson is averaging over 3 steals a game over the last couple games. Ingram makes defensive plays without even trying because his arms are so damn long. Nance Jr is a defensive player of the year type of player.

Mozgov is not enough of a force on the boards to be a starter, and Deng has been flat out awful. We should trade them both at the trade deadline if possible.
