Otto Starting Small Forward?




After all we did draft him to play along side Beal & Wall for the future. With Martell being sideline for a while & bringing in the "Truth" Pierce. Wouldn't it be a safe bet to put Otto in the starting lineup, if only the sole purpose was for him to defend the best perimeter player on the floor like Ariza did. I'd rather have Pierce coming off the bench than starting because he'll bring buckets off the bench against most 2nd units with ease & the pace of the reformed AARP unit (if possible Miller, Rice, Pierce, Humphries & Gooden) seems like a better fit for him than the speedy backcourt of Wall & Beal. Of course I'm recommending Peazy plays in the clutch. But I believe we can save Pierce & keep him fresh for when we really need him (Playoffs).

Another reason is, we really need to take a good long look at what Otto can bring to the table playing along side Wall & Beal. Yes, 2016 is coming & KD will be out there, but if we strike out is Otto the future SF for years to come. Last year when Otto was on the court you can see how Nene & to a certain extent Wall was hesitant to pass Otto the ball. But with the way he's looking in summer league & with another good showing in preseason, why not throw him to the wolves like we did Brad. Let's face it Ariza is gone, Web is hurt, it's Otto's time.
