Will Black and Wadly both start?

Will Oliver Black and Wadly Mompremier both start? Or will they even be on the court at the same time very much? I hope so, but the odds are against it at this point. The main reason is that Wadly is a non-scorer, or at least has been to this point in his career. Black shot 55% from the field, so in a new environment in which he probably will be forced to shoot more, his scoring ought to increase significantly. If Black becomes a scoring threat, then we might be able to afford to keep Mompremier on the court with him.

I am hoping that Wadly is such a defensive eraser that we cannot afford to have him off the court. If that happens, then the pressure increases on Black to become a scorer, or we might have to go smaller at the 4 spot. Whatever the eventuality,  I think it would be fun to see 6-11 and 6-9 out there at the same time like we did occasionally last season when Black and  Shoshi were out there together.
