The rox start the game with 2 ballhogs...Francis and Mobley. if we start with only one ballhog..well the ball would move around more woudln't it? So bench mobley at the start and then we'll play BIGGG! so we'll have a Starting 5 of.... Yao Cato Griffin Posey Francis sixth man: Mobley Rox would be awesome inside. Rox would have a SG that plays team ball FIRST while being able to make his own shot plus opposing SG's would be having a hell of a time against a defensive demon like Posey. Rox would play with 2 big men in the paint, griffin will block any SF that tries to go inside...he'lll do ok guarding smaller forwards around the perimeter. If griffin should falter guarding the opponents smaller SFs then we bring in Mobley and Posey would move to SF and Nullify the threat of coz Griffin would move back to his usual 4 spot..Thank god for Posey and Yao and Griffin and francis...and...... Guys...what's your take?
Hmmm... first of all I wouldn't bench Mobley (I'd rather bench Francis first, although I don't want to do that either!). But I'm still open to the idea. I'd start Ming, Griffin, TMo, Posey, and Francis. This still gives a large frountcourt and crazy defensive presence (as well as keeping our backup C fresh and from any chance at too much foul trouble). TMo (I believe he's shown us he can ball) and Posey provide decent offense and shooting to keep the defense respectable. Griffin will be streaky, and might be a scorer on some nights, but Ming and Francis would have ppl to kick out to who can make the shots (I'd rather have Mobley to kick out to, but his style of play doesn't really fit this). And Ming and Griffin can give post play, which hopefully will screw w/ any sorta zone defense as well. All in all not bad idea.
