That's a great question, one i actually had to think about for a second. I chose Power Forward. Give me a 6'11 rugged power forward who can clean the glass and block shots with authority to help Yao. I think, with so many great big men out west, we need strength at that position. If we could get a Ben Wallace, Tyson Chandler type of player - it would be the best front court in the league. What does everyone else think?
I agree, but unfortunately the NBA is all out of Otis Thorpes. But there are plenty of 6'9'' guys with limited rebounding ability that don't like to block shots and that can shoot 15 to 18 footers. In fact, I think thats the only type of Power Forward that plays in the NBA. Someone please prove me wrong and give me hope.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. We need 2 Yao Mings. Who could get the ball to Yao better than Yao 2? Who needs fast breaks?
6'11'' PF who can rebound and block shots? - sounds just like Cato! HAHAHA played good defense under Gumby and made our interior defense one of the best in the league. J
Cato's man consistently laid him off to double on Yao, and Cato bricked everything out of 5 feet when he played along Yao two years ago.
Yup and thats why we got Swift, someone who can make the other team pay for leaving him. But unfortunately he has not been great. Although he has NOT been playing like a complete bust lately.
I voted shooting guard. Not sold quite yet on Bogans being that guy. But someone like him, who is at least 6'5, preferable 6'6 or 6'7, and can play shooting guard small-forward. Doesn't mean moving Welsey though. I like what Wesley is bringing these days.
I have 2 thoughts on this... first, I don't think it really matters which one, it would just be nice if we could get one more player who we could consistently rely on, be it a power forward or a shooting guard. Second, I think it's more realistic to expect to get that type of player at the 2 than the 4. So yeah... equally as helpful, not equally as likely, imo.
I don't see how Cato would survive at the PF these days. The position is much quicker, and perimeter-orientated than even two years ago.
