Message: [QUOTE="Niastri, post: 4363134, member: 722"] If teams face guard Girard, triple team Edwards and let Mintz "prove it," the other guys' [B][I]role[/I][/B] will be to hit wide open shots. The whole season will hinge upon these [B][I]role[/I][/B] players performing their [B][I]roles[/I][/B]. This fact is why everyone believes Taylor and Bunch are in competition to win the other forward spot, and why some people believe Williams may not be secure as the other starter. JB likes shooting and defense more than rebounding. If the other two guys can shoot better than Williams and defend/rebound enough... Williams may become the third forward or only a token starter after the first third of the season. The fact that nobody in the know is whispering this may already be coming true is, to me, a good sign of Williams overall progress. Rothstein prediction about the forward rotation may be informed by actual sources besides this board. :) [/QUOTE]
