I'd actually go to say our shallowest position is PG.
|
People who can play(and have played) PG:
AI
Ollie
Salmons
Green
People who can play(and have played) C:
Dalembert
Skinner
Jackson
Hmmm...
On a side note, why they didn't just resign Hamilton, who's much cheaper, and capable at doing what Skinner will, is beyond me. Or they could have signed them both incase Jackson and/or Dalembert gets injured.

Oh great, another guy too slow to actually argue my points. It's like you who keep me feeling good about myself.

Sorry, but negativity annoys the
out of me. You don't know how many (middle aged white) people I cursed out during the Olympics.

If you want to talk about slow, then Aaron McKie is definitely your guy, he's a shell of himself and shouldn't be starting. Why do you point slowness and inability on defense as a reason for Big Dog not starting but not McKie? Both can spot up and shoot, Big Dog is a better post-up player, they're also both stopgap players. He had a great year considering everything going on with his body, but if anyone expects him to give a repeat performance of last year's three point shooting they're reaching just a tad.

1) I don't expect Aaron McKie as a long term starter like Robinson would be, and neither does O'brien, he's already said that. However, Robinson's lack of defense comes from a lack of effort, which will not be missing from Mckie in the regular season(same with Korver), and lots of effort can easily make up for whatever he's lacking. He's also a better passer than robinson, and as long as he sinks his open shots, he'll be okay in this offense.
2) Unlike Mckie, Robinson's offensive game doesn't fit really well with this offense. Robinson is an inbetween shooter in an inside-out offense, and he stagnates the offense whenever he has the ball and is the focus of the offensein half-court, unless he's hot. So unless he learns to sacrifice his game a little bit and become a quick shooter or passer, he'll be a detriment to the team, which is why I think benching him is a great test to see where he is. Besides, this team is so deep at the SF with capable players they could not play him at all and not lose much.

Since you weren't so fond of my starting lineup, I'd love to see what you would put together.

What it should eventually be?
In order of rotation from starter:
C: Samuel Dalembert, Marc Jackson, Brian Skinner
PF: Kenny Thomas, Brian Skinner, Cloriss Williamson, Marc Jackson
SF: Glenn Robinson, Kyle Korver, Cloriss Williamson, ANdre Iguadala, John Salmons, Aaron McKie, Kedric Brown(wow they're deep)
SG: Willie Green, Andre Iguadala, Aaron Mckie, John Salmsons, Kyle Korver, Kedric Brown
PG: Allen Iverson, Aaron Mckie, Kevin Ollie, John Salmons, Andre Iguadala, Willie Green
Keep in mind that this is what I'm hoping for in January, and I agree with the starting lineup now, except that I think it should be Korver at Small Forward.
