Yesterday was the first time our starting lineup played together

I know we’re never healthy but it’s still crazy to think about. When everyone was available, Highsmith was starting and Jovic was either getting little to no minutes.
I am pretty excited to see what two offensive guards will do. Herro’s best impact year was playing with Dragic, a very good scoring PG. Rozier is not as good ball handling wise, but he does check the scoring box.
Jovic is probably the ‘X-Factor’. His impact and growth in the 4 spot will be what determines how successful this lineup can be.
Outside of traditional ball handlers, I like our depth and think we are deeper/more talented than we were last year: JJJ appears to have taken a leap, Highsmith is poised to be more impactful than Martin was last year (he never did look right/capture that 2022 magic), Duncan continues to be deadly, albeit inconsistent, and I like what Pelle has shown.
Center is still a question mark: Love is older and slower, but Ware is an improvement over what we had in Orlando and enough to make up for it, and Bryant looks improved over 2 preseason games (but I wont put too much stock in it, unless he truly understands the offense more this year)
