Who starts at SF for season opener?

[HawksBalla]

I just remembered that Marvin is suspened for the season opener after his move on Rondo. Does Jeremy Richardson or Luke Jackson actually start for the Hawks? Or is Zaza taking C, shifting Horford and Smoove (assuming he even signs)?

[GTfan44]

J.R. Smith

[mrhonline]

My guess? Joe Johnson.

(With a smallish backcourt...).

[Zone034life]

Mario West

To early to tell right now. Depends on who they sign and who they match up against in that game.

[Diesel]

Easy...

Zaza/Horf/JSmoove/JJ/Bibby...

IF

ASG and Sund doesn't bungle the Smoove signing.

[crimedog]

Probably the same guy that started at SF last season when Marv was out...

[Chris18]

Mario West will start at SF.

[Nicholasp27]

we have lots of options...

jj can play sf and use 2 of bibby/law/speedy at the 1/2...or even someone like jr smith or another sg that we may sign this summer at the 2 with bibby at pg

smoove can start at sf with horford/zaza...not ideal, but it would be ok for a game

marvin's backup can start at sf: mario or jrich or if we sign luke or someone else then they could

basically, anyone but bibby/speedy/law/horford/solo/zaza can start at sf for us

I agree. I like Mario West starting but playing only 20 minutes tops. He defense and hustle really sets a tone to begin a game.

I don't think the schedule is out yet. Hopefully we are not playing a top 10 SG and a mini-me back court of Bibby and Law can get alot of burn with JJ at SF. I love the lineup from an offensive standpoint WHEN matchups allow up to go small.

Hopefully we bring in a wing with part of the MLE like a JR. Smith or K. Rush so we have a shooter with size and a little defensive ability to give us a better all around game then what West offers.
