    PG- Cuttino- In his first season he played the point.
    SG- Franchise- He's a natural 2 guard. Since we moved him there he's been scoring a lot.
    SF- Maurice Taylor- him playing center is nuts. He's a true sf.
    PF- Kenny Thomas- can get some rebounds.
    C- Carlos- He's been playing awesome! I don't think Hakeem can play with his knee being bad.

    6th man: either the Mooch or Shandon.
    I think it could work. How about you guys?

I can't use the forget your password? thing, cause the email address I put in is invalid. I'll use this username until I can restore my password.

    That lineup would be the poorest use of talent in league history. [​IMG]

    I won't bother breaking down why...

    Maybe if Mo dropped 30pounds he could be a 3.

    A lineup only Don Nelson could love. Oh wait, he'd put Hakeem in at PG and have him shoot 3s.

    "C- Carlos- He's been playing awesome! I don't think Hakeem can play with his knee being bad."

    Are you kidding me??? He had ONE good game against a very crappy team. Makes about as much sense as starting Bullard.

    Don't knock the Bull. Remember he is "quite possibly the greatest to ever play the sport. A man that has transcended the game to become an icon and a cherished hero to all."

    Im not knocking him at all. The dude can nail 3's when he wants to. All he does in warmups is stand behind the arc and drain. Now if he could only practice the art of defense, we would have a player.

    I was joking Drewdog. I know Bull has some serious deficiencies in his game (everything but shooting outside)

    If you put Francis at the SG because he's 'natural' there, why not put Mobley there since it is also his 'natural position'? At least Francis wants to play PG. Besides, though Francis won't be the 10 assist PG I'd like him to be, he'll be closer than Mobley who averaged 2.5 assists as our PG.

    Taylor is not even a 'natural' SF. He can shoot and can't rebound, sure, but he's definitely a PF. Nevermind about him trying to guard the tough SFs like Finley, I don't think he could keep up with Shandon Anderson.

    Carlos Rogers had a great game. But it was just one. Anderson also had a really good game this year, but he didn't make your line-up, I presume because it wasn't as recent. I don't mind the idea of playing a forward at the center spot since there are so few Olajuwon-like centers left out there in the league. But, if you put Rogers there, why not Taylor?

    I do like the idea of a 2-guard, 3-forward line-up. However, I think I'd shift things about a little with Francis still at PG, Mobley at SG, and the forwards all matching up on defense as required with the possibility of letting Anderson start instead of Thomas(?) if there is a SF to worry about.
