Nowadays though, I really don't know what MoPete can bring anymore... he's still a good player, but it's almost as if he's settled into being a role player and not bringing that extra "something" that seperates the stars from the others. I wouldn't lock him for the starting spot just yet.

But Scott has already said he'll be starting so it's sounding like a lock to me. We know Mo isn't a star. I expect him to give us at least what Mason did with maybe not as much defense as Mase. His role was diminished last season and I don't know what that reason was. Was he lacking? Did Mitchell want to go in a different direction? Because in 05-06, he appeared to have had a pretty nice season.
