Kawhi is one of the best PnR players in the NBA. JV will start and the two of them will feast on it.

I actually see Fred closing. I think the two PG line up was one of Nurse's ideas that Casey adopted. And we've seen Fred closing.. remember that steal (on Paul) and pass to Siakam against Houston last year? He's a closer.
So I think the closing line up would be Fred, Lowry, Kawhi, Siakam (or Serge if he's had 2+ days rest) and JV.
I don't see OG or Green closing. Unless we want one of them at PF for the corner 3. If that's the case probably Green over OG but it's a roll of the die. Can't go wrong with either choice.
Man we have so many options.

A little small at guard but it's worked wonders before. And with OG and Kawhi able to guard 4 positions, can put Lowry and FVV on the least challenging perimeter opponents - not that either really need to be hidden.twitter.com/anthonysmdoyle

In the playoffs, sure, maybe that gets the most run to close games out - but with all the experimentation, maybe Nurse'll will also turn to other lineups that did well in crunchtime.

Ibaka ended up working better from the bench and I suspect him and Nurse would butt heads throughout the year (I do recall Ibaka was suspended last season due to his conduct so expect more of that).

Really hoping he doesn't make the cut out of training camp. Just can't stand him. Now that Delon is still here after the Leonard trade, we have plenty of guard depth - bring on Loyd and Boucher on 2-ways for insurance at the extreme ends of the lineup, and give minimum deals to Bebe and Rawle Alkins.

Depends how Delon improves but he could be a good starter. His three point shooting has improved, he is a good slasher and distributor, and defender.
So JV/Serg/Siakam
OG/Siakam/Serg
Kawhi/OG/Miles/Norm
Delon/Danny/FVV/Norm
Kyle/FVV/Delon
That's if Delon comes back shooting slightly better. I agree we need another big for insurance purposes, but that should be our rotation. Basically a tight 9 man rotation with Serg predominately playing the 5. or we can try to showcase him at the beginning.
