Interesting lineup rotation.....Looks like there's at least two players per position. NOT BAD

Melo will have the most minutes, so he accounts for two positions (SF/PF)

I could see Seraphin starting at PF and then moving to C when KP rotates in. O'Quin could also get minutes at C when we go small with Williams at PF

Because Calderon isn't injured yet Galloway is also a tweener who isn't very good at either guard position, more of an insurance policy at this point.

Every personality has a similar work ethic so instead of complaining and sulking, I think there will be chemistry. Guys will play for each other. I believe that with this group. I believe we're going to be proud of this group

He is far better then Calderon. He defends, rebounds,and scores the ball. Three things Calderon did not do last year

He's also buried on the depth chart behind Afflalo, Vujacic, Calderon and Grant. Calderon is still the incumbent starter until he proves otherwise. He is also an injury waiting to happen. Grant is a 1st rd pick who is 4 yr college man and NBA ready. We are invested in him and he needs minutes to develop. Afflalo is a prototypical SG and the best one we have had here in a long time. He will add consistentcy at the 2G we have been lacking. I questioned the signing of Vujacic until I watched an interview from 2012 with highlights of him in team practice. He is constant motion and his cuts are sharp and decisive. His passing is craft and on target. Galloway is odd man out but will see playing time when the inevitable injuries happen. He has shown in the past that he stays ready, so he has a role on this team.

Fisher will play all 15 players most nights before the 1st quarter ends..he will then rotate the starting line until February, shuffling guys in and out, base on their hometown, family members attending the game.

I have zero faith in fisher until proven otherwise, especially when it comes to the rotation, its so bad its truly comical.

Thats definitely his weakness.....It's something that stood out during the season and we saw it in SL. But I understand why in SL.....I don't understand his substitutions during the last playoff game of SL, when you are clearly trying to win.

Lets hope he's a fast learner, because his substitution patterns has cost us plenty of games and potential injuries with inconsistent minutes. Now he has a team where 14 or 15 deserve or want major minutes.....
