My original point was that several teams use perimeter PF's. Aside from DAL/PHO, CHI, SAS, GSW, UTA also use small line-ups for stretches and...
The PFs mentioned above are not back to the basket guys and are more perimeter oriented making Battier a good match up for them - better than...
I like Gadzuric better than Evans, very athletic and can finish with dunks around the basket - similar to a Keon Clark... He can play back-up C...
Great point, so trading James/Brooks is really risky even if Francis plays well this year - he can demand a price the Rockets can't afford for the...
I agree, with his high basketball IQ, he'll be even better this year in offense... he won't be told to just stand in a corner
I meant injuries/suspension/etc....
The % stats also don't show how efficient the players used the shot clock. If one player kills shot clock before shooting , this usually lessens...
Rafer + Luther for Foster? Rafer is more experienced than Diener and Luther is more proven than Rush so this might work especially if Indiana...
I think rebound rates,like other stats, are guides to comparing players but it is does not tell the whole story. For example, Hayes, who is not...
Battier is not a traditional PF but players like Marion/Horry/Kirilenko/Rudy Gay (whom Memphis plans to use as PF in small line-ups) aren't as...
This year's roster with Steve and Bonzi - strong rebounders at their positions might allow HOU to play with Battier at PF, T-mac at SF and...
Foster will be a good addition - good rebounder/passer/cutter... but if Yao misses games, the Rockets will not have enough scoring from...
If the new offense can prevent Steve's overdribbling and bad shot selection, he'll really be an asset. He is one of the better rebounding PG's and...
Rafer/Kirk for Shareef and 2nd rd pick (this could be in the 30s-40s if Sac trades Bibby and Artest to develop their young players) Sac needs a...
He didn't play that much last season, saw some of his games with NY, seems like they were trying to get him going by giving him his turns... He...
Catch and shoot off ball movement creates better rhythm for the offense, allows for 2nd/3rd passes, and rebounding opportunities rather than...
Francis (like Marbury) is not selfish in terms of shooting a lot... he just dribbles way too much before shooting or passing... this burns the...
If Yao gets the ball from the FT line, he doesn't need to dribble more than 2 times. 1 or 2 bounces and he'll get a dunk, lay-up or hook shot...
