So how many players are a lock for the roster on opening day? How many really have their spot on the line during the preseason?
SAFE:
Luka Doncic
Kristaps Porzingis
Dwight Powell
Maxi Kleber
Dorian Finney-Smith
Josh Green
Tim Hardaway Jr
James Johnson
Josh Richardson
Trey Burke
Willie Cauley-Stein
Boban Marjonovic
Agreed? If so, that's 12 guys who are safe.
6 guys fighting for 3 roster spots and 2 2-way spots:
J.J. Barea (roster spot)
Tyler Bey (2-way spot)
Jalen Brunson (roster spot)
Nate Hinton (2-way spot)
Tyrell Terry (roster spot/2-way spot)
Wes Iwundu (roster spot)
Jalen Brunson and Wes Iwundu are probably safe as well. We think they have other things in mind for J.J. Barea. However, I think J.J. is going to get the last roster spot.
So 3 guys are fighting for the 2-way spots as far as I can tell. I think Tyrell Terry is getting one of those 2 spots. Is Hinton really on his way out? It'll be interesting to see what happens.
