Ya, keep being told "We're going to start the best five", but the fact that we have no idea who that is a day before the start of the the last preseason game isn't good, even if I keep being told it is. The fact the McVay is so edgy about it is also a bad look. McVay feeling that he has to go out and build Noteboom up in the media looks weak as well. If he's so good, then name him the starter. Stop coddling him.
It's frustrating to see no continuity here, but we expect these guys to just line up and gell starting day, whoever they are. That's not how this works.
Some futures are easy to predict.
