    I'm interested in thoughts/opinions on different lineups next year if Ming is selected. This is assuming no trades are made and we pick with our #15. Also, if this is the case, who should we draft with the pick?

    Lineup #1
    Ming
    Griffin
    Thomas
    Mobley
    Francis

    Lineup #2
    Ming
    Cato
    Griffin
    Mobley
    Francis

    Lineup #3
    Ming
    Taylor
    Thomas
    Mobley
    Francis

    Lineup #4
    Ming
    Cato
    Thomas
    Mobley
    Francis

    Lineup #5
    Ming
    Thomas
    Rice
    Mobley
    Francis

    Lineup #6
    Ming
    Taylor
    Griffin
    Mobley
    Francis

    Which one of these frontcourt lineups would you like to see play together? This team gives us many different combos with varying strengths and abilities. Who would you like to see teamed with Mooch and Torres and T-Mo on the second squad? We may still have Collier, W. Williams and Tierre Brown.

    Personally, I like all those lineups!!! I think Ming, Cato and Griffin on the floor at the same time would be very interesting. Ranked in order of liking, I choose #1,2,4,3,6,5

    My 1st & 2nd teams:

    Ming . . Cato/Collier
    Griffin . . Taylor
    Thomas . . Rice/T-mo/Walt
    Mobes . . Torres
    Francis . . Norris/Brown

    Now, with pick #15, who would you take??? I sure hope Jeffries falls down that far. It's such a deep draft someone good has to. Other possibilities Nachbar, Amare:) . ???

    Lineup 6 would be bad ass, but there's no way Eddie could play the three. My choice would be alternating between 1 and 3.

    Mo will start at the beginning of the season.

    Mo does have to sit out the first five games, though.

    This should be our front court for defensive purposes...

    Ming 7'5"
    Griffin 6'10"
    TMo 6'9"

    Lineup 6 with Taylor using his bulk underneath, Ming high post and Griffin on the wing. Bad ass is right. Taylor's bad ass can clear out half the league underneath, and even make a hefty roadblock for Shaq. With Ming and Griffin poaching from the sides, rox should kill.
