I think Mamu starts at the 4 and plays backup 5. Looney probably plays a stint each half to balance the minutes.

Our offensive model will be heavily based on Luka/Kessler P&R. If teams close the paint, a 3 is open and Kessler is well positioned for the off reb. If they defend the 3, easy dunk. If they stay in between, a more contested 3 or mid J and Kessler is there for the reb.
Kessler is an elite offensive rebounder and I think we will chuck 3s like never before. It's JJ model, we saw it when he started. Then he started to adjust to the personnel. Now it's the 1st time he hand picked each of the players in the core rotation.
