I see what you are saying with Battier in terms of a comparrison with Howard. I think in that instance, Howard just gets more attempts. Aside from Howard being at the end of passes for his medium range jumper, Howard gets more opportunities in the post than Battier does. I think in this case, it is just up to the coaches to call Battier's number in those scenarios. It seems like the only time they do that, is when Tmac, Yao AND Howard are off the floor and they need someone in the post to do something. Battier probably should get more looks in the post.
This is the problem...We have NO real 3rd option. Juwon?...nope, Rafer?....yah right, he needs lay-up practice, Luther?....Our 6th man is a shooter, not an offensive creator. Snyder?...if he could play some decent D and stay on the floor, maybe...Which leaves Bonzi. Can he put things together in 6 games? We HAVE to get either Bonzi or Snyder or both more floor time and get them ready to contribute.
