Folwers is the starter and Ghost is the backup. Rapp the reserve.
 
Where Koulibaly lands next will decide a lot. If he can take the point then I think that makes things a lot easier to manage. If not then I think we will need Roberts in that role with Rapp augmenting at the "2" (though Rapp seems to like to take over in half-court).
 
My hope is Koulibay will be ready to start at the point which will move Flowers over to the 2 and Noah as a 2/3 hybrid. Flowers, Rapp and Robert’s will also get time at the point.
 
Flowers is a 1,PG. He is a Allen Iverson Type PG , that can SCORE A HELL of a LOT.

Thats why some think he can play 2 spot as well. But be that as it is, Flowers is NOT a starter at 2 spot. If he is, then something didnt go quite right.

Flowers is the favorite to start at PG. He is a 6-1 Allen Iverson type(Also 6-1). He will occasionally play at 2 behind either Noah, Koulibaly at 2, but the BULK of his minutes will be at the 2,PG, whether as starter, or as #1 back up at PG.

Koulibaly will either: 1. #1 Back up at PG. 2.#1 back up at 2 spot behind Noah. 3. Starter at 2 spot, sliding Noah like Marcus Capers at 3 spot, 4. Beating out Flowers to start at PG(not likely).

#1 back up at PG: Koulibaly.

#2 Back up: Tyrell Roberts.

Tyrell Roberts can SCORE a HELL of a LOT. He will be a lot like Sampson's 5-10 Tyrone Maxey, that was behind PG Bennie Seltzer, Neil Derek(2 spot), and Terrence Lewis(2,3 spots)

Tyrone Maxey also scored a lot on occasion, but he was not a 2 sppoter, and pretty much only played at 1, PG, and only occasionally played at 2 spot behind Neil Derek the 2, 1 spots guard.

Tyrell is like that. He may occasionally play at 2 spot, but the BULK of his minutes will be as the #2 back up at PG behind Flowers, and Koulibaly, if he doesnt play much at 2 spot.

If Koulibaly goes to 2 spot, Tyrell becomes the #1 back up at PG.

#3 back up at PG: Rapp.

In order for Rapp to get playing time, Rapp is best served getting about 7 to 13 minutes per game as the #4 back up at 3 spot, and #3,4 back up at 2 spot, and #3 back up at PG.

In other words take his minutes wherever he can scrounge, get them whether thats 3 spit, 2 spit, PG, etc.

Also I dont think Rapp can guard the Allen Iverson type PG's, thats why Rapp is better at the 3,2 spots.
