Starters: Blake Martinez, Tae Crowder
Backups: Reggie Ragland, Devante Downs, T.J. Brunson
Analysis:
Expect another player to join this crowded unit.
Tae Crowder and Reggie Ragland will likely fight for the starting spot next to the full-time starter in Blake Martinez. Crowder is the better coverage player while Ragland is a classic thumper, run-stopping ‘backer. We’ll give the early nod to Crowder here due to his experience and familiarity in Pat Graham’s defense.
