they need to be the frontcourt starters here on out, they're the two best, the two most reliable. I know GO "voluntary relinquished" starts to Ben, but it was clear to me before (it's almost taboo to talk about how a player goes in practice, but Ben was the same exact way last season in practice as we've seen this year, frequently beating out Chris and Goodluck with effort and IQ), but even moreso after Maui, that Ben needs to slide into the starting spot for good. He's just too savvy and touches across the entire game. On a good day, GO blocks shots and gets a few rebounds but even the rebounds have been very low (looking at Stats, DM is averaging twice as many as GO in about the same amount of time).
I like Ben, Zimm, Pat, Ike and Seagears starting.
I still prefer DM, DJ, GO and Jordan coming off the bench. Ike is the most vulnerable to me - we still don't know if he can get the consistency down. If he can't and a switch is forced, there are a lot of options - Dwayne or DJ starting at the 3, Pat 2, Seagears 1. Or you can start Cornish if he kicks it into gear. You can also easily make a case for DJ at the three with Pat at the 2 and Seagears at the 1.
