2023-2024 Depth Charts (alien.top)

The online depth charts are notoriously terrible so I'm very open to fan feedback but here is what I've got for the opening day depth charts in the NBA

Note that I kept it as 1-5 and Starters/Bench/Depth for easy formatting purposes which means some teams may not fall nicely into their correct positions and of course not all teams run a 10 man rotation, so don't get too hung up on that part. Just trying to get a sense of the players that will get minutes vs those that will only play due to injuries.

Lastly, players in red are expected to be out for an extended period of time (potentially weeks, not days) but I tried to keep them in the spots they would be if everyone was healthy or not suspended.

Taurean prince will start for the lakers and max Christie is over Reddish

I'm going to have to disagree with the Warriors one:

Steph Curry is still PG 1. No matter how many times he starts or comes off the bench, Chris Paul is still PG 2. Draymond is the starting PF. Looney is still the starting C. Trayce Jackson-Davis is a C with Dario Saric being more of a PF. And Brandin Podzmiemski is more of PG 4 with Lester Quinones being more SG 3.

On the Kings, I think JaVale passed Len as the backup. I also think Lyles gets the nod as the primary backup 4 (he should be in our main 8 man rotation) and Vezenkov as a 3 -- Duarte is more of a 2/3 anyway.

Duarte might start, he is ahead of Sasha for those backup 3 minutes as well. I don’t think we will see a ton of Sasha as he seems to have concrete feet based on the preseason. It will lead to struggles for him defensively which will lead to him not playing. Same reason Mike is saying Duarte may start over Huerter. The team and staff is prioritizing defense improvement this year

Solid read thanks for putting it together.

Is KJM really ahead of Batum on the depth chart?

Is Zaire starting over Smart?

Strus feels like a great fit for Cleveland.

Bucks depth chart looks good to me. There is some positional flexibility in there and Bobby Portis is a PF but Robin Lopez definitely fits better on third string based on preseason.

I am under the impression that the Celtics are bringing Jrue Holiday off the bench which is absolutely crazy and insulting to a champion like Jrue. But he is such a great guy he probably won't even complain or point out that he is better.than Derrick White on both ends.
