    on this current team, which one would you choose?

    Take into account Motie being a rookie lacking experience, etc.


    Yeah, we all know Motie is really a 4. Don't need to discuss that. Just tell us which one you'd choose to start tonight's game if Motie was here on the roster.

    Dalembert is more of a center than Motie. Motiejunas would get pushed around too much. Maybe this can change sometime in the future, but i doubt it.

    You've got think like a center to play a center position...if you've played at the 4 all your life it'll be difficult getting used to the center position.

    I think I'll go with the guy who's stepped foot on an NBA court.

    At least Motiejunas would give us effort. I'll go with him.

    Montie is now a center. Why would you force him into a position when he could be a nightmare for opponents as a power forward.

    I'd rather have Dalembert at center.

    This question is sort of like asking if I'd rather have Donatus or Budinger at small forward.

    I'll take the player who actually plays the position thank you.

    Dalembert starting this year and next. Donatas coming next year and earning the starting C in the next 2 or 3 seasons if he is able to defend better, because he is pretty good at most other stuff.

    Really doubt he will ever be a center. But who knows.

    In one of those post-draft videos Donuts was gushing over Scola. He was claiming Scola as his idol. Said the opportunity to learn from him was a dream come true.

    I like him more as a PF, but I think Scola would have to be moved out to do so. He would be playing out of position against Cs

    Motiejunas is a PF

    For some reason this board keeps trying to convince itself that Donuts is a 5 and Morris is a 3, when both are natural 4s.

    Would you rather have Lowry or Lull start the next game?

    Easy choice.

    One is a NBA caliber player and on most teams capable of significant minutes or starting.

    The other is Motie...

    why would you start a player who's never played in this league before? Unless it's a lotto pick, a high one, i don't see how Dalembert shouldn't get the nod. at the very least, it should be someone who's outplayed Dalembert in practice. Dmo doesn't fit either category.

    What caused you to ask this?
