Crawford to start at the 2? Where does this leave Batum and Wes?


From Rotoworld.com:

"According to Sam Amick of Sports Illustrated, Jamal Crawford has agreed to sign with the Portland Trail Blazers.

Portland's interest in Crawford was strong, and the scorer had an interest in joining the team as well. He is known to be close friends with Brandon Roy and LaMarcus Aldridge, and that may have played into his decision to join the team. The Trail Blazers will be a very fun team to watch, and Crawford should hold fantasy value as a volume scorer after the team reportedly promised the starting shooting guard position to him if he signed."

So, if he starts, does Batum or Wes start at the 3? Or does G. Wall start at the 3 and they start Aldridge at the 4, Camby at the 5?

We know there are three sets things with the Blazers. Felton is the starting PG. Aldridge is a starter at either the 4 or 5. Wallace is a starter at the 3 or 4. Then it is mix and match with Crawford, Wesley, Camby and Batum.

I could see the Blazers with any of these starting lineups:

1-Felton 2-Crawford 3-Wallace 4-Aldridge 5-Camby

1-Felton 2-Wesley 3-Batum 4-LA 5-Camby

1-Felton 2-Crawford 3-Batum or Wes 4-Wallace 5-Aldridge

1-Felton 2-Wes or Crawford 3-Batum 4-Wallace 5-Aldridge

Or the others listed in the poll. So many options to start.

What starting lineup do you like the best? I think I like Felton/Crawford/Wesley/Wallace/Aldridge. Any thoughts?
