Mike Trudell: The plan will be for Davis to go back to the center position (Damian Jones started in his absence); Troy Brown Jr. (4 made 3’s at Minnesota in his first start) could get the nod again on the wing after he impressed the coaches last game.

New coach Darvin Ham has used James, Davis and Westbrook in his preferred starting five during camp, along with guard Kendrick Nunn and center Damian Jones. He is trying to maximize the potential of the three max players with a combined 35 All-Star appearances between them. “We have a three-man package, actually a playcall, that they’re going thrive in and it involves all three of them,” Ham said. “I look forward to that being at a very, very high level. And there’s different nuances in it that they can play around with.
Kyle Goon: After we saw Damian Jones take a corner 3, @jovanbuha asked if Darvin Ham about his confidence in Jones’ range. He said he trusts Jones’ shooting so far. “If I have Robin Lopez making 3s, I’m sure I can make Damian Jones to make 3s.” Adds: “I love Robin. Miss you too, Brook.”
