Updated projected starting lineup, depth chart after Chris Paul signing

Shooting guard: Devin Vassell, Malaki Branham, David Duke Jr (TW).

Joining Paul in the backcourt is Devin Vassell, who will be an underrated beneficiary of his signing considering that Vassell has a tendency to take tough shots. With Paul starting and running the offensive, Vassell will likely play more off-ball, and he could thrive.

Paul running pick and roll with Wembanyama should dramatically improve the team's offense with Paul being able to get to his mid-range jumper, which he is terrific at. Meanwhile, Wembanyama can either pop out to three or sprint to the rim.

Either will draw attention from Vassell, who can take advantage by burying open threes, which will help his efficiency and hopefully lead to his scoring making another big leap in his fifth season. As for Malaki Branham, he will need to show and prove in his third season. While he has tendency to play better in the second half of the year, he will have to play that way over an entire season.
