For the most part there are no surprises here. Walker, Kidd-Gilchrist, and Jefferson are the team nucleus. Batum was assumed to be the starting shooting guard the moment that he was acquired from the Portland Trailblazers. The only real surprise is the appearance of TBD at the power forward spot. So who could TBD be?
Well TBD could be one of four guys: Frank Kaminsky, Spencer Hawes, Cody Zeller, and Marvin Williams.
