Down with Divas! Long Live Gordon!

Ok, so my last post about Gordon and the Suns and all wasn't exactly on point. I'm almost always wrong about predictions in basketball anyway. As the roster stands now, the big rotation is Smith, Lopez, and Anderson, with Davis hopefully playing some three while he's young, with the ability to play in the crowded four spot, and even some five in small lineups, and Warrick as the clear fifth big, but a quality end of the bench guy. Then again, Warrick could play some at the three. Lance Thomas is around as well. The threes are hopefully Davis, with Olympian Aminu, and sometimes Anderson on offense. Thomas? Xavier Henry? Thin right? The two spot is all Eric "Diva Cup" Gordon, who I think Hornets fans should reach out to, but needs to prove he's durable/worth all that money. Rookie Rivers is supposedly converting to a one, but he could get minutes at the two, and Roger Mason will end up seeing a lot of time at the two, and probably a little one, for "veteran presence." Xavier Henryis most suited to be a two also, but he better hope he can play some three. Vasquez is the pointguard, and I hope his teammates can follow his lead, because he's solid, affordable, and maybe should be the long term guy to QB. Good teams tend to have a starter quality combo guard coming off the bench, and it would be cool if Rivers was that guy. Diva Cup should also be able to facilitate a little for all that scratch.

So if small ball is viable, the crunch time lineup could be Vasquez, Gordon, Aminu, Anderson, Davis, and if they're going big, it could be Vasquez, Gordon, Davis, Anderson, Lopez. Maybe Rivers will eventually take Vasquez' spot in either of these. The big question whether Davis, Anderson, and Lopez can play together at the same time. Maybe Davis will play mostly at the five, and Lopez will be a backup. If that's the case, the depth chart looks like: 1. Vasquez, Rivers 2. Gordon, Mason 3. Aminu, Thomas? Henry? Warrick? 4. Anderson, Smith 5. Davis, Lopez
