Training Camp Battles

[Caccia]

Even though everyone thinks the starting lineup is set, we should see some interesting battles starting Tuesday: Schröder vs Monk, DeRozan vs Ellis, Isaac Jones vs Dario Šarić. Who will be primary backups at point guard, shooting guard, power forward?

Looking at the roster, with 19 players on it, the three two-way players are Plowden, Cardwell, and Stevens. That leaves one open spot, to go to either Terence Davis or Dexter Dennis. I expect it to go to TD, due to his familiarity and success with the club. If you watch the training camp video from yesterday, he is fully recovered from the devastating Achilles injury. Both contracts are unguaranteed. [Edited with corrected information.]

I am a little surprised they did not invite another forward to camp.

I mentioned it in the other thread, but I think IJ vs Saric is probably the biggest one off rip. Max hopefully takes over backup C, sooner than later, but I'd bet Eubanks gets first Crack at the rotation spot

Also feel pretty confident Monk, Keon and Nique get the backup 1-3

So far, it looks like you are right on the money.
