I think the answer to our slow starts begins with our starting lineup.
Not saying you’re wrong but I’m curious how you’d change it? Jon already swapped out Foster for Sion. Flagg and Proctor both seem like givens. Getting Maliq in there could be advantageous but of course that wasn’t an option against Immaculate Grid.

Yep brown for Maluach. Although in another thread a poster has stated that’s one of our worst lineups offensively I believe.

I find that observation to be one of the most astute ever posted on this Board. 😎
Yea, in hindsight, I set myself up for that one. What I meant was that Foster and Maluach have started a lot of games with little production to show. We switched James for Foster, and if we want to avoid bad starts in the future, I’d see what Brown can offer as a starter.
 
I think if Man-Man is going to continue starting, the team doesn't need to be so quick to shoot 3 at the beginning of the game. Players and the ball need to move quickly so the defense needs to move as well. I believe this would give Kon more open looks where he doesn't have to rush his shot. Man-Man needs to rebound better (offensive and defensive) and not just against the poorer opponents. If he's going to start, he needs to be productive.

GoDuke!
 
Some discussion on this in the Strategy thread. But the recent starting lineup we've been rolling out is one of the worst offensive lineups. In the strategy thread some alternative lineups are discussed.

He hasn't learned how to block out yet.
