Looks like the called Smiley up, hopefully it makes the game feel a little less tanky

Looking forward to seeing the G-League-worthy lineups Kerr manages this game. I mean, if Marquese is out, we're down one former Sea Dub, but I'm going to hope he plays so we get...

The "Bargain Bin of Dreams" lineup: Bender, Chriss, Wiggins, Toscano-Anderson, Lee.

And, dang, we're one young'un short of fielding

an "Oops All Rooks" lineup: Smiley, Paschall, Bowman, and Poole. (Amusingly, this group fits positionally pretty well and got some time against Houston recently.)

"Sea Dubs Reunion": Chriss, Lee, Bowman, Toscano-Anderson, Smailagic.

Come to think of it, if Chriss and Draymond are both out, who starts at the 5? Dragan Bender is actually a pretty likely candidate. The alternatives are either starting Smiley or going smallball out the gate, right?
