"They came out and asserted themselves," Williams said of the Raptors. "They imposed their will on us and we were never able to recover."

Ibaka and Norm are obviously the 6th/7th guys, then I’d imagine Rondae and Davis would be next in the pecking order. Nurse does seem to love McCaw, so I doubt he’ll fall out of the rotation completely, but that then leaves Boucher and Thomas as the 11th/12th guys and not getting playing time?
A good problem to have I guess

A good problem indeed. I wouldn't mind seeing Nurse experiment with FVV coming off the bench once Lowry gets back. TD is showing he is a capable SG, and I'd can imagine how good our bench could be with FVV leading Ibaka, Boucher, Hollins and Norm.

Thomas will likely get short spurts each game to help boost some bench unit shooting for short spurts, and if there are nights where Norm is struggling you might see more Davis and Thomas to eat into those minutes. But Boucher will be in tough for minutes with two Cs in the rotation and RHJ likely getting the backup PF minutes.

I don't think that will happen. Nurse just likes Fred too much. The only way to get TD in the starting line up would be to trade Fred, and even then I think Norm gets first crack assuming Lowry is back.

Not sure how FVV would take it if he was moved to the bench, but at some point having him as our starting SG is going be a disadvantage due to the size difference. Not that TD is huge, but he's got a bit more size and is an improving defender.Last edited by golden; Tue Nov 19, 2019, 11:30 AM.

FVV struggled mightily when he was tasked to lead the bench mob last year.... so Nurse had to scrap the bench mob. Fred is significantly better when he's surrounded with more talented players, ideally knock-down 3pt shooters and playmakers. This year's bench mob is looking it will come in 2 flavours: Lowry + Bench & Pascal + Bench. In hindsight, Pascal + Bench was probably the reason for the success of the 2017-18 vaunted 5-man unit.

Stars and superstars make the guys around them better? You don't say? My word, I think you might be onto something!

With both Lowry and FVV in the game we are at a huge disadvantage size wise. It's not uncommon teams SG is 6'5" - 6'7". If that's the case maybe try Norm at SG paired with Lowry to start. I think with injuries, load management etc there will be lots of playing time for top 11 - 12 guys over the course of a long NBA season.
