i think stro is what we need--more than sar or marshall
-first off, his game is similar to kenyons (we all know what kidd did to kenyons game)-he is an athletic freak, a good finisher and has decent hands-he could be deadly on the break, maybe as good as kenyon
-i think the main reason to get a guy like stro is to play to kidd's strengths- his LEGENDARY fast break-a guy like sar or marshall wouldnt compare to what can stro can potentially do in the fast break, and our team would be more of a halfcourt team with either of those 2 guys (where kidd isnt anything THAT special)
-unlike the teams that went to the finals, we would have a balance between halfcourt/fastbreak...nenad is an inside prescence on offense, unlike what we had in collins during the 2 years we went to the finals (i could only imagine what nenad could have done to help kenyon in the halfcourt), and of course we have vince carter
-more on the fast break, i think if everybody is running, vince will run also...carter, rj and stro are three freakish athletic players that can excell with kidd running, to get easy baskets (much like the teams that went to the finals)-i think this year vince isnt really running with kidd b/c u cant run a 2 man fastbreak, but u can run a 4 man fast break (kidd, kittles, rj, martin)
-now to defense, stro is a legitimate shotblocker in this league, he also relies on his athletic ability and is a good off the ball defender b/c of this (not at kenyons level but similar)-just basic basketball knowledge--a shot blocking prescence doesnt need to always block shots, just intimidate defenders from taking it in inside (ala KG on saturday)--sam cassel said this in an article the other day after the game that we are not the same defensive team without kenyon
- stro has potential at 26 years old, he has never seen consistent minutes on memphis (probably the deepest team in the league) looking at his career averages, if he play 35 minutes a game he could easily average 15 points 8 rebounds and 2-3 blocks--guys like marshall and sar are great players that would help our team, im not bashing them, i just dont think theyre right for this team and could impact as much as stro
- i fear some will bash me for being a kenyon fan blah blah...what kenyon martin brought to the table is similar to what stro does, and with kenyon we went to 2 nba finals--jason kidd is not a 20 point per game scorer and is nothing spectacular in the half court, so why have jason kidd if we are not going to play to his strengths??
