I liked how King talked about Snell and Butler as a nice perimeter defensive tandem out there together.

Noah came off the bench in this game...probably as close to a regular lineup as we'll see in preseason. Perhaps that's what we'll see opening day?

Has Snell and Niko pretty much started all preseason at the 2 forward spots?

I think starting Niko is a big mistake. He's not ready and just creates way too much defensive liability down low.

Gasol-Taj-Snell-Butler-Rose(Hinrich until Rose comes back I guess) should be our starting lineup to start out. Noah and Niko come in for the second team.

Yup. I think it's a foregone conclusion that Snell is starting at SF in place of Dunleavy since Hoiberg seems committed to the Doug as a 6th man idea. Niko has started every game this preseason as well. One game at SF in the jumbo fail lineup (Snell out that game) and the rest at PF.

I'm guessing Hoiberg likes the ability to hit 3s or something. Except Niko hasn't even been all that accurate. Bleh...but it's not like our defense is stopping anyone anyway.

And thats the thing, you get better balance with Gasol/Gibson and Noah/Niko.
