I take issue with your thoughts on physical play.

I don’t know where you have come up with the notion that Edwards is a physical player.  I have seen no evidence of this so far in his career.  Things might change but he is a tentative, finesse guy so far.  Hard to pass judgement on how he is progressing given how little he has played.

The one game Frank got some meaningful playing time, he was completely abused inside and ended up with a  -12 plus minus.  I have seen no sign of physical play from him either.

JBA is the only big who has shown some willingness to bang inside and play a little physical.  That is likely the reason he has been the first big off the bench in the rotation.

Putting Marek on your ‘most physical team’ is also kind of bizarre, given you have benched Griffin, who is one of the most physical players on the team, and clearly a better rebounder than Marek.  Just because you are tall doesn’t make you physical, or a good rebounder.

Towards that end, I also disagree with putting Buddy on your all physical team.  He is another finesse guy that isn’t comfortable battling in the trenches.  I would take JGIII over Buddy as far as being a physical player.  But if you really wanted an all physical team, you would have Kadary and Griff at guard, with JBA, Q and probably Woody.  He and Marek are pretty close.

When Sidibe comes back, he, JBA, Q Kadary and Griff would be our most physical pairing.  But Q, Griff and Kadary are the only true junk yard dogs on the team.  JB values skill over heart.  Hopefully you find players with a lot of both.
