Ben Wallace is 6'9" and Rodman is 6'7" but their teams have never had an issue with their size. Meanwhile, Dirk's a legitimate seven footer and Dallas' defense suffers when he's out there. If Landry could play defense like Chuck his size would be a non-issue. If he can improve that aspect of his game he'll be able to start for a lot of teams.
well, to me, Yao is the only one that has a size advantage over the other teams. the rest are just OK. maybe playing against KG last night made Landry look like a little guy or something. and KG basically schooled him.
i don't know man, Rodman certainly looked like longer than 6'7. Landry just doesn't look like he is 6'9. somebody tell me what his real height is.
Well, when Scola and Yao started together, they never lost a game...so I wouldn't mess with that kind of success right away. If our 2nd team struggles to score, then I would consider it. That is a strong possiblity, if Yao, Tmac, and Artest all sit out at the same time. Barry is a great shooter, but he can't penetrate the way he did many years ago. Luther Head should strictly be a shooter and thats it! Aaron Brooks can create a shot for himself or for others, but he isn't strong enough to drive it in all the time and to be the anchor of an offense. Hayes and Dorsey aren't offensive minded players and need to be set up for dunks or layups. Battier can take advantage of a smaller player in the post, but he shouldn't be a go to guy for scoring...he's a great role player offensively though. So I think there is a strong chance that Luis could go to the bench, simply to keep our big 3 fresh, (otherwise one of them would have to play for a 15-18 minutes before getting a break, and maybe more in 2nd halves of games). He was able to lead Argentina as the focal point in their offense in the Qualifying tournament last year and this year in the Olympics, and he did great against Dwight Howard, Tyson Chandler, Amare Stoudamire, and Chris Bosh. I think when he has shooters around him and room to operate, he is a good scorer in the low post or creating from the elbow. But for right now, I say keep whats working. Yao and Scola work great together, and until its apparent that the 2nd unit needs scoring or that our Big 3 are playing too many minutes, lets go with the flow.
