MBB: Who should start?

Had this discussion on HawkCast this morning.

In my opinion, it should've been

Thelwell, Dix, Sandfort, Traore and Freeman from the start of the season. Knew it wouldn't happen, but that's the best starting lineup, imo.

I know there's some dislike for Dembele on this board, but even throwing him in instead of Traore -- who Fran clearly hasn't loved to play much as of late -- would be better for this teams' defense and getting the starts they want, as opposed to being forced to attempt a comeback in the second half. Putting Pryce at the three and Payton at the four would be an upgrade, too, imo.

Harding is getting hunted too much defensively, in my opinion. Having a bigger guard at PG and then having the rest of the lineup be bigger, sturdier guys would help Owen from being forced to rotate and leave somebody open for layups.

There are a lot of issues with this team defensively, but that starting lineup could help eliminate some of the issues.

May have an article on this after Fran's availability today.

Who do you think should start?

What are your thoughts on Kentucky Gov Beshear for Prez in 2028?

He will be about 50, will have the legal and admin experience as a Gov, and is from flyover country. A middle american liberal on a few things like abortion but mostly a moderate from what I understand. He ran a very good re-election campaign and was re-elected by a big increase in margin at 5%.

Look at the Dem candidates that the won the presidency since WW2. Truman from MO, Kennedy was an easterner outlier and just a very good campaigner and politician, Johnsone from TX, Carter from GA, Clinton from ARK, and Obama from ILL (no effing birther jokes here from the cheap seats).

The Dems have a lot of great leaders in Congress from the coasts but the middle of the country is where the Prezses come from. Spitsker from IL doesnt seem quite as good but good. Whitmer but it seems our males half of the electorate dont want a woman and then add in 20% Repub voters and a woman loses.

Newsome and Shapiro are probably to coastal. Any one want to get on the bandwagon?
