I've seen enough...time to Start Montrezl Harrell at the 4!

That decision is not up to you.

Personally start whomever you want, the season isn't going to turn out much better.

 

I guess you fail to understand floor balance. Do you think it only applies to one side of the ball

 

Of course it's not up to me, I never said it was. The conversation was about who SHOULD start. Given that right now there is only one PF available that isn't just embarrassing to watch play, it's pretty clear that Harrell should play the most minutes.

Now of course JBB will do whatever the hell he feels like doing and we'll see how that works out.

 

Please read carefully. His ablity to be a better shooter as you say he is then the other horrible pf optios is irrelevant because of the way defenses play him at the moment. Where does harrel play most of the time? Around the paint area. Thats another man defensively to clog the area. Get it? Amazing that needed to be explained.

 

"Sure he's a terrible shooter, but he hangs out at the 3 point line a lot and sometimes defenders look his direction so he spaces the floor"

That's just awesome. I can't believe someone really tried to argue that.

 

Nobody is guarding Harrell at the 3 pts line. Thats just ridiculous of you to say. Whoever does that shouldt even be in the league. Stop trying to make something up bc you failed to understand what was being said.

 

And there's no reason whatsoever to guard Jones or Smith at the 3 point line. If one of them tries to shoot, the smart thing is to just laugh at them. Neither of them actually space the floor....even if not everyone can see that.

 

Funny thing is players do bc they actually take those shots regardless if they are known to make it or not. So they actually do more so than harrell or capella. Just bc you cant see that doesnt mean its not true. Thats just basic basketball. I dont see harrell outside shooting jumpers which is the point being discussed here as far as clogging the paint even more.

 

Smiths defense is so great he cant even stay in front of meyers leonard off the dribble

 

He def needs to be the first pf off the bench and should see 15mpg.

His energy is great and his skill level has surprised me.

His play in dleague is why I think he's got a future in this league. It's also why I think KJ is not ever going to be a player in the NBA. He doesn't stand out at all like all the other rookies 2nd year guys who get sent to the Dleague. Harrell looks like a guy who is head and shoulders better than everyone out there. KJ looks like a guy who trying to get a 10 day contract rather than a player with a 3/10mil NBA deal.

That's reall worrisome imo.

 

Lmao. Have you noticed DMo's rebounding? Its atrocious just like his defense. We'd be worse with him on the floor

 

i think smith should keep starting for experience and defense but harrel should be in the rotation no doubt. 15-20mpg. and if he does better than smith then he should start.

harrel off the bench would give us good scoring spark. we dont need more scoring in the starting lineup

 

McDaniels has put up decent numbers in the d league

 

MH is just a rookie playing like he wants to get paid. I will be a believer once he keeps plaYing like this down the line.

 

One downside with Harrell is he gets rookie calls by the refs... like the foul he was called on despite being completely vertical, and the offensive goaltending call when the balls was clearly outside the cone. Same calls that Capela got at the end of last season (and still this season).

But rather have Harrell play with his natural energy and control his minutes since he acts as a sparkplug.

 

Harrel > Jones any day
