    I am really excited about our upcoming season. Especially after getting TRex back. Lots of credit goes to CD and the front office for rebuilding our front line this offseason. While we do have a new set of starters at the 3, 4, 5, I actually think our new set of backups are going to be better than our starters.

    Willis and Griffin as a team seem to be a better balance of offense and defense than Cato and Thomas. With Willis and Griffin you get a bruiser, a weak side shot blocker, great rebounding and better low post play.

    I hope they come in together and leave together because I think Willis and Thomas will be our weakest combo.

    Against certain matchups, you're right. I think Cato and KT can handle more situations right now than Willis and Griffin can, though. The rocket's frontcourt doesn't need to win the game with this backcourt, they just can't lose it.

    You could be right , EG is still raw and needs some more time , KT has played in the system for 2 years and know how to run it . You know what you get with Kevin Willis , Cato is a ? as always . Lets just hope he has a ! season .
