Pick and roll or Pick and pop for Harden

Is he better than one of your favorites, Dekker? :grin:

 

Don't really understand the question. Of course it depends on the player that comes out to set the screen for Harden.

Frye? Millsap? LMA? PnP.

DJ? Dwight? Ezeli? PnR.

 

I think Jordan Hill would be a nice free agent option for this team. Could be a really solid backup PF/C for cheap(ish)

He can do both PnR and PnP, nice mid range jumper, solid finisher around the rim + decent hands, athletic/long, good rebounder, has played for both D'Antoni and the Rockets before as well.

He'll probably get around 6-8 mill per.

 

Joel Bolomboy.

 

FIFY.

 

A PF that can hit a simple 15ft jumper would be nice. Cant expect center to run out to 3pt line to take a shot after every pick n pop

 

We need a 4/5 that can post up. That would change the landscape. I don't really think the difference in Pick and roll/pop is going to change everything. If you're looking for what GSW is doing, we need some dudes just setting moving picks once in a while to throw off the opponents' defense.

If we have a great post up player, it's up to Mike d'Antoni to figure out how to make sure Harden doesn't just stand there 4 ft across half court waiting for the ball. oh wait...

 

No offense, but this gets my vote for Most Out of Touch Post

 

The obvious answer is........

BOTH

 

Ibaka
LMA
Draymond Green
Millsap
Hassan Whiteside
Al Horford
KAT
Griffin
Kristaps

All of these guys play respectable defense, shoot, and roll. You're basically looking at all-star level players. But yes my point remains the same, it's way too easy for a team to defend one dimensional screeners.

CP3/Deandre is probably the main exception to this, but you're also talking about some of the best players in the league.

 

Or a guy that can just knock down jumpers.
