Very interesting article at BSOTS about the Suns starting and sub units. Please read the article before you comment on this thread.
http://www.brightsideofthesun.com/2...epth-being-challenged-but-starters-absolutely
Takaways:
1. Our starting is excellent. 5th best in the league in pp100 possesseions, 3th in defensive rating, top 5 in rebounding, 4th in point differential.
2. Sliding Warren or Leuer in with the starters has been disastrous as far as production--contrary to most impressions on this board (including mine).
3. Warren and Leuer are much more productive with a unit of bench players than with the starters.
4. This directly from the article "Warren does much better with the subs. The very best non-starting unit has been an all-sub unit of Ronnie Price, Alex Len, Jon Leuer, T.J. Warren and Sonny Weems, with a plus-11 net rating per 100 possessions (on only 14 minutes together). Small sample size alert!"
5. This article would seem to encourage a platoon system of sorts, at least until the bench players and starters become more comfortable in specific combinations.
