I don't think he can keep up and effectively guard the better 2's in this league and I don't think offesensively he is a 2 because it looks like he can't create his own shot or nor does he have a quick release so if he's a three, why do we need to trade gay with his potential to be at least josh howard, prince or even marion and swift for tmac's backup.. or is tmac going to 2 and chase opposing teams sgs around? or is he the 3 pt shooting four we need? and cd and jvg use his defense as a justification, didn't jvg say get some one who can score and teach him defense..
The better question is ....what can postion can Battier play. Hey can play the 2/3/4 (4 in certain situations) natural 3
Uh, nice poll But seriously, think of it more like Dallas. Forget about labelling everyone & pidgeonholing them into a position. There's Marquis Daniels, Jerry Stackhouse, Josh Howard, even to a lesser extent Adrian Griffin & Devin Harris. They're all close in size. And they play to their strengths. Depending on matchups, TMac & Battier can BOTH be anywhere between a SG/SF/PF ... does it really matter?
Battier is a 3/4. Battier is our "ranging shooting 4 man." Battier pushes Juwan Howard to the bench/trade block. The Rockets STILL need a sidekick to Tmac at the 2/3. A SG with length. And we need Mike James back.
