He will as long as he doesn't get more turnovers than points and think of himself as the Greek Kevin Durant.
As a bench player, I hope he comes in looking to make a mark on the game. As it stands, our bench doesn't have an identity and he'd be perfect guy to lead them to one.
I like the look of that. Lots of shooting with the 2nd unit. Before we signed Pap, this is what I thought we needed to make a championship run: 1) stretch 4 that doesn't get killed on the defensive end 2) guard that can score and distribute 3) backup wing 4) backup big Kostas, assuming he's not a complete bust, should solve #3. I think Jermaine O'Neal or Emeka Okafor could be had for the BAE, unless Dorsey is our answer at backup center. Then you've got to trade for your starting 1 and 4.
I like this move. How can anyone not? He hustles on D, makes few mistakes and can hit the three ball. He is a perfect bench guy and someone we can throw at the superstar wing players to give them a different look defensively while Ariza rests. This also allows Ariza to slide to the SG when Harden is out or when James is having one of his "where did my man go?" nights defensively. Beverly Harden Ariza K-Pizzap Howard That's a very balanced lineup with three excellent defenders and one (we expect) good defender.
These Euros so demanding. Gotta pay me good money! Gotta have a role! No, make that defined role! Gotta have [x] number of minutes! Can't send me to the D-League! Geeeeez.
More like....... Beverley/Johnson/Cannan/Smith Harden/Daniels Ariza/Papanikolaou Jones/Motiejunas/Adrien Howard/Dosey/Capela NJ will beat out Canaan for that back up PG spot just wait and see. Mchale is gonna love his IQ and toughness on D
Correct me if I'm wrong, but Dwight's not a lefty. Just shoots better hooks from that side because he's been practicing/overthinking it less. Kinda like how my backhand is 10x better than my forehand in tennis.
If Wolverine is on board, I'm on board. I'm getting excited about the season a little. I feel like we still need something, I just can't put my finger on what... Bev/ Cannon/ Ish Harden/ Gee/ Johnson Ariza/ Pappy Jones/ Donuts/ Adrien Howard/ Dorsey
Should we call him K-Papa? My first thoughts: 1. We are not getting Ray Allen. 2. DMo or Jones is going to be traded.
I don't see Gee being on our team, but other than that your lineup looks accurate. Except for Troy Daniels. Can't forget him.
