I really hope that RA goes with Lee as the new starting SF come Saturday. In fact I would love for us to couple that move with starting Patterson instead of Scola (but I know that won't happen). Lee is the guy that is most capable and versatile in regards to guarding the opponents top perimeter option. Budinger stays in his role, and Williams gets minutes as well. Lowry/Martin/Budinger/Scola/Hayes is going to give up 110 every night. In a perfect world IMO Lowry/Martin/Lee/Patterson/Hayes.
Only problem with Lee is he is not tall... Plus, I think having a guy like Lee off the bench is great.. I feel BUD is going to get the start for now.
Budinger deserves the starting gig... See how his defense comes along as a starter. Lee and Martin are both undersized to play SF which would lead to poor defense anyway.
I think of lot of the times Martin could utilize his length on one guy to some extent, allowing Lee to still be a plus defender in his matchup. I would also just like to see Williams start over Budinger. Budinger is now our defensive stopper unless the opponents best perimeter player is small enough to be checked by Lowry.
PG - Lowry - 6'0 SG - Lee - 6'5 SF - Martin - 6'7 PF - Scola - 6'9 C - Hayes - 6'6 Very Short Line up. mainly due to the Short Center which is why we Wish Thabeet is a Player PG - Lowry - 6'0 SG - Lee - 6'5 SF - Martin - 6'7 PF - Scola - 6'9 C - ThaBeet - 7'3 Instantly changes the line up. Hell at this point I would be interested in trying this lineup PG - Lowry - 6'0 SG - Lee - 6'5 SF - Martin - 6'7 PF - Scola - 6'9 C - Patterson - 6'9 and see what is can do Rocket River
Rockets have Martin and Bud both listed at 6'7 I cannot say Bud looks bulkier than Martin Rocket River
Knowing Adelman this will be the rotation. PG- Lowry/Dragic/TWill SG- Martin/Lee/TWill SF- Buddinger/Lee/Martin/TWill PF- Scola/Patterson/Hill C- Hayes/Miller/Thabeet Martin and Scola must be like WTF.
