I apologize if this has already been posted. This mentions KT and Eddie playing together with Eddie playing the 5. Many of us have speculated about Eddie being a 3, 4 or 5. This seems to indicate that Eddie will get time at the 4/5 spot. http://www.nba.com/rockets/fans/Ask_The_Rockets__December_31-32205-34.html
how bout we put Mo at the 3, he is afterall a sf in a pf body, because i sure don't want him under the basket gettin 4 boards and .5 blocks a game
With a better helping defense down low , there's no reason we can't start Griffin at the 5 now. Griffin Wills Thomas Mobley Francis
Why start Griffin at the 5 if you're starting Willis too? That just moves them both out of more comfortable positions. If Eddie's starting at center, you may as well go the whole way with the young lineup: Griffin Thomas Torres Mobley Francis
I would like to see that lineup: PG Francis SG Mobley SF/PF Taylor (he really does have SF numbers, not PF numbers) SF/PF Thomas (he plays more like a PF than Taylor, but has the height of a SF) PF/C Griffin Backups: PG Moochie SG/SF Langhi (no matter what anyone says, the guy can play, he just hasn't shown it during the regular season yet) SG/SF Torres SF/PF Morris (good defender, but practice your shot!) PF/C Willis Trade Walt, Cato, Collier for anything, preferably a shot-blocking center or Marc Jackson. LaFrentz would be perfect...
I start Willis with Griffin because I think he adds experience and some muscel down low.That would allow Griffin to be a goal-tender around the basket. Swatting away anything that get's past Willis. When Taylor get's back you then move him to your starting 4 and Willis becomes your second option off the bench , Torres being your first.
If Griffin winds up starting at the 4 this yr and puts up good numbers, what makes anyone think that he won't start next yr? Please, tell me what Taylor did to deserve such a strong following.
