Players Meshing: Who will work best together

i think steve, cat, kt, moT, cato will work well together. they have the most experiance together. all 3 front court players can set a good screen for the guards. both fowards can knock down a jumper if the guards need to kick it out.

then: mooch (likes to slow it down, ill give him some post players), griff, yao, and a couple of shooters incase the clock runs down, boki and rice.

 

I prefer Steve--cat--Lewis--K.T--Ming,

and Griffin can substitute Rashard or K.T


PG Steve
SG Cat-------Lewis
SF Lewis----Nachbar-----Griffin
PF K.T-------Griffin---------K.T
C Yao


just trade Rice & Mo.T !!!!!

 

Its just not going to happen! So lets work with what we have, its very difficult to know how they will mesh.Just remember that our Game Plan must change from last year, now that we have a defensive and offensive presence in the Center. The first thing to go is Dribble Mania and Norris taking 9secs to get over the line. Passing must improve and everyone will need to improve their assists.My starting 5 in the first few games would be Francis, Mobley,Griffin,KT ,Yao Ming. then Francis, Mobley,Rice,Taylor, Yao Ming After 20gms. things will sort themselves out............
Francis, Mobley, Nachbar, Griffin & Yao Ming. KT will play backup SmF/PF Rice will play backup SG/SmF Taylor will play 1st backup PF, Cato backup Center. The line should change depending on the makeup of the opponent. Thats if Rudy becomes flexible and the players dont object.

 

I think the best unit on both defence and offence will be


Steve
Eddie
Cat
Yao
Boki


That makes the Rocks having 1 of the best bench's in the NBA

and i am so GLAD we dont have a 16 pt a game no defence player like Lewis ( he would kill this team )......

 

ok!!


then i'll put in


start 5(best Defensive) Steve--Cat--Griffin--K.T--Yao

start 5(best Offensive) Steve--Cat--Rice--Mo.T--Yao

 

It will take a while for Ming to fit in. This is because the last 2 years, we have been way too perimeter-oriented. I know Ming likes to shoot from outside, but I want him inside. Hopefully Francis will throw some lobs in Ming's direction like he does for Cato (yikes). That is the one time that Francis looks like a PG, when he is able to set Cato up with easy dunks, but Cato fumbles the ball away.

 

Defensive overall: Steve, Oscar, Eddie, Yao, Kenny

Defensive big: Tito, Oscar, Eddie, Yao, Cato (half court - end of game)

Offensive overall: Steve, Cuttino, Maurice, Yao, Glen

Offensive Big: Steve, Glen, Maurice, Yao, Kenny

Offensive quick/small: Steve, Cuttino, Kenny, Maurice, Nachbar

 

I don't know where you're getting the idea that Oscar is a better defender than Mobley...

And for the end of the game, the most crucial time, you'd take out our only two solid scorers in Mobley and Francis and put in a rookie and a struggling OT?

 

I think he is a little better. I think Cat can play defense, when he puts his mind and skills to it.

Oscar has more height and reach. He also seams to relish the defensive role more, IMO. I think Rudy has molded him that way too.

Last seconds play- end of game type stuff. Few seconds left. Where you don't need to score, you just need to stop.

 

I think this is good one

 

i agree, i think that will be our best team at the half.

 

ricerocket,

where do u figure mooch fits in?

 

Are you saying Griffin is one of our 2 best post players?
I don't remember seeing Griffin post up at all last year. I think he was either spotting up for 3's or facing the basket. Not much posting up.

 

the best all-around five:

stevie
cat
griff
mo
ming

 

I think Steve, Cat, Eddie, Rice and Cato to start. A little bit of everything in that lineup.
