Prefer McDermott myself but if they are batting 5 & 6 might not be of much value.
McDermott should open , but if he doesn't not sure.
Handscomb probably gets the gloves.
Problem is the likes of Bancroft , Whiteman , Peirson , Gotch , Dunk , Gilkes etc etc don't look much better as starting picks.
Does Philippe back up last season ?
Where will Inglis end up batting ?
Where is Carey playing ?
Where will Harper bat ?
I guess it depends if you are aiming on having Bairstow as your keeper when he arrives and if you use McDermott/Handscomb as a stepping stone.

Running a side by side look, I don't see too much difference.
Yes it's a tricky one.
McDermott didn't do as well batting at 3, and Handscomb did his best at 5 I think.
@Cricket98 has them at 4 & 5
Did McDermott bat better when he had the gloves on? If he didn't maybe Handscomb takes the gloves? 🤔 $5k diff too.

Send a email to CA & Hohn's and ask them where McDermott will bat 😀
For some reason , I thought he opened a few seasons ago (looks like he has never opened ever in a T20 game) so no idea who I was getting him mixed up with.
Short should open , Ingram should bat 4.
Looks like Jacks opened 10 times out of 12 in the Vitality Blast so maybe :-
1. Short
2. Jacks
3. Wright
4. Ingram
5. McDermott
6. Handscomb
problem is 4 of them could all open or Bat 3 , 5 or 6.

Not great but also not devastating to me .... priced at a 31 average in a team where Bailey often didn't get a chance to bat last year ...
- Not a bad initial placeholder at his starting price until you get in a Phillipe, Banton, Pooran, Bairstow, Billings etc ...
I had Dunk at one stage but the potential risk was too great and left me more exposed than I'd like ...

Just need Jacks & Ingram to fail early so McDermott gets a fair hit.
Doubt he rises enough to get close to Bairstow (should be available Round 4) , what would he need to average to make say a $ 50 - 60 k profit quickly ?
I guess if he scores 35-40 it is acceptable then try and get him to Banton Round 8.
Billings & Pooran will bat too low plus Pooran is only playing 6 games.
Banton will be tempting.
Gotch/Dunk is annoying because they could rotate them.
Carey missing Game 1 of Round 2 is annoying.
Bancroft could bat 3 until Livingstone & Roy arrive.
Maybe just as easy to piggy back Gilkes & Holt together then swing Gilkes to the bat bench.
Think you need to get McDermott to the bat bench ASAP.
Almost tempted to try and start Philippe then swing him to Bairstow in Round 7.
