Great newsletter as always! Maybe for a future newsletter you could discuss what could be a major issue and that is playing RJ/ Brunson/ Randle together? RJ and Brunson are team players and will make almost any configuration work. Randle on the other hand has not responded well when asked to be anything other than the lead dog.

Considering Mitchell's Robinson's untapped potential and that Jalen is the first young, dynamic PG he has played with. Could you see Mitch reaching a Gobert or All Star DeAndre Jordan type ceiling with Brunson's help??

I'm not sure Brunson is *that* sort of point guard, but he can certainly throw a lob. That said, I'm VERY excited to see year 4 of RJ & Mitch

Assuming the team more or leas. is what it is at this point and rotation is something like,

.. First five: Brunson, Fournier, RJ, Randall, Mitch

.. Next five: Rose, IQ, Grimes, Toppin, Hartenstein

Which team do you like better, or more specifically which do you think would have the nigher net rating, the starters or the backups? I think you know where I’m going. =)

Looking forward to it. I certainly know which squad I like better, but I also think sending Fournier and Randall out there every night to boost their trade value needs to be a high high priority, and for that reason I kind of hope the the Brunson/Fournier/Randall trio get significant minutes with another floor-spacer or two or two out there (I.e Grimes/Hart to generate looks for Fournier/Randall instead of RJ/Mitch).
