Who do you think will emerge as the team's 6th man this season?

Jr Smith......




























i'm sorry I couldn't help it.....Bud tho

 

Kyle Lowry as always...

 

Yao only playing 20-25 Mins a game. So Brad Miller No doubt.

 

My dude bud

 

It has to be Lowry. Our starting line has PLENTY of offense, and so the defense that Lowry brings off the bench will be critical, more important than the offensive that Budinger will bring. It could also be Lee, but right now Battier will probably have the opposing team's best wing covered while Brooks will struggle defensively.

 

Based on what we saw out of him lastyear I voted Lowery, but I don't see him as the first guy of the bench. He's gonna change the pace of the game and put points up. But I think Rick is gonna let brooks settle in awhile before he gets a rest.

Imo I see Miller and Lee off the bench first.
Brad will come in first to relive Yao and Lee will be not far behind.
I believe Brad is gonna do well but not put up a whole lot of points.

I Kinda wanted to vote Lee because I think he's gonna be in quick and point some points up be cause he can slash to the basket. Chase could be a gem, but he would have to progress a lot and meet everyone expectations of what they think he'll become. He's good and I like him but imo still going to need alittle seasoning.

As far as a game changer, I had to vote Lowery.

 

Lowry, of course.

 

Patterson over Hill?

 

I think it'll be between either Lee or Bud if they're still here.. Great energy guys off the bench.

 

Whooops.. Fail on my part.. Completely forgot Lowry also. He's gonna be up there too.

 

For the regular season it will definitely be Brad miller as RA looks to limit Yao's minutes. Come playoff time, that will change drastically. Assuming that Yao makes it though the regular season, he will most likely begin seeing heavy minutes again in the postseason. At that point I think the most important role player will be Courtney Lee. Lowry is a close second, but Lee's size and versatility gives him the edge as he could play multiple positions and be a valuable contributor in many facets of the game. Additionally, his experience from the finals, although brief could be a big factor.

 

Good poll to make you think about our so called "depth". Yes, we have a good and deep bench. But no one in the bench really has a killer instinct. I voted Lowry, but there is no question we still need a talent upgrade. I miss Landry.
