Suns should use the following lineup

1 - Knight/Bledsoe
2 - Weems/Bledsoe/Booker
3 - Tucker/Warren
4 - Teletovic/Keef
5 - Chandler/Len

6th man -- Bledsoe

He would still get 36 minutes per game, but Bledsoe is more familiar with playing with these bench players than anyone else. Beyond a baseline 28-30 per game, Bledsoe eats extra mins of whoever isn't playing well between Knight, Weems, and Tucker (would slide weems to 3 for small ball)

Knight would play well with Weems, and it would be an all around high bball IQ starting lineup with no obvious weakness. Four players can shoot the 3. Everyone can at least kind of play defense. And saves some firepower for the bench. It would be an all around well balanced team that could be 2nd round material with excellent coaching.

I'm not including Goodwin here because he simply doesn't have a place on this particular team this year. If the Suns want to make the playoffs. Booker could come in as a 3-pt specialist, but barring injuries the Suns young trio core of backcourt players should get all the 1 and 2 playing time. They're young and already good, even better than developing young raw players.

That is all

I'm very high on Goodwin but I'm worried about him now for the first time. I really think he's at the point where he won't get better witthout playing a lot of minutes. I really like his potential so I hope we can make something work.

Eric should start at least for now. Give it a few weeks shot.

I don't think I want Bledsoe long term though. I like the ides of building an elite shooting team that is good at everything else. That's the direction we are headed.

Weems? WTF?

Anyways, Bledsoe and Knight fit too well to me. Knight is the PG, but he needs to play with another ball handler and slasher who creates open jumpers for him.
