This lineup was on point today.
It's a natural lineup.
Cole can score and pass as necessary. No pressure to run the team and look for his shot.
Gaff can be the point guard and just add scoring as needed. His 3 point shot has looked sharp both games.
Martin is a better 3 than he is a 2 or 4. Can slash, rebound and will get good open looks where he is a decent shooter.
Akok is the stretch four. A pair of 3's, a heckuva catch and dunk and just gets to be the energy guy.
Sanogo is a beast.
Would love to see this lineup for about 20 mpg.
Whaley is still lost as the 4 with Sanogo. And he is noticeably less skilled as a back to basket post player than Sanogo and noticeably worse than Akok as the face up stretch 4. He can still get 20 minutes.
Jackson. Anyone who thought he was going to be a decent or semi respectable shooter can pocket those comments until Sep 2022. He has zero confidence and seemingly zero desire to shoot a J. He is still a beast on defense in passing lanes and defensive rebounding but his man to man D was less than stellar.
Polley. We know this yo yo ride with him. If his shot isn't falling, he's not going to contribute elsewhere.
Diggins and Johnson looked more comfortable today than they did game one. Springs looked more relaxed too.
If Gaff, Cole and Martin continue to play like this Hawkins is going to max out around 15 minutes.
