Au contraire - that's one Delano Banton in the starting lineup!Porzingis and Jrue out, Horford and Hauser starting. It’ll be interesting to see if Walsh gets any minutes or if they just activated him as deep depth. I’m assuming the latter because it’s hard to see him being at a point where it makes sense to play him over Brisset or Stevens. This is the sort of game where the guys outside the top-9 who are competing for rotation minutes will get a chance to prove themselves. I’m not really a believer in any of them as more than guys who can competently eat regular season minutes, but this week we have a need for that skill.
NBA.com had it wrong. It has been updated with Banton starting and Hauser on the bench. I like this more as Banton is probably best used not when Brisset is not on the court to minimize lineups with two players who cannot shoot at all.Au contraire - that's one Delano Banton in the starting lineup!

Yeah, it the “so far,” part that can be an issue.Looking good so far
I’ve always said his screen setting abilities are above average.If basketball didn't require shooting, passing, rebounding or defense, Banton would be above average
My eyes see a solid NBA player outside of his inability to score at any level. That is a big aside, but I think gambling on young athletic wings that can’t score as depth is a reasonable approach.Banton may be Brad's worst signing ever (outside of extending the coach.) He really does nothing out there.
Kornet’ s lack of rebounding against Capela is noticeable.Giving up too many second-chance points.

You are tired of that move after it resulted in a missed three? Isn’t that the goal of a close-out contest?Kornet contest gives up another offensive rebound. I am so over that move.
Atlanta feed crew are beside themselves....both literally and figuratively.Weird seeing techs that aren't on KP
The three was missed. I’m not sure the contest has anything to do with it. I think any gain in the move is lost with all the rebounds he is now out of position to get.You are tired of that move after it resulted in a missed three? Isn’t that the goal of a close-out contest?
Be careful. He can still get them from the bench.KP is out and I still thought that tech was on him
