I'm not sleeping on his game, at all.  I think that there is a very good chance that Moyer is the opening day starter at PF, and that he'll have a very good career on the hill.

Instead, my observation was about how similar offensively Moyer / Brissett seem to be at this stage of their respective developmental curves.  We saw what happened last year when we started a player [Lydon] who was poorly suited for the SF role offensively.  And he was a guy who at least was a knockdown shooter, which is more than you can say for either Moyer or Brissett.

It doesn't matter much if at all defensively in our system, but on the other side of the ball not having at least one of the forwards have the requisite versatility our system requires is a hindrance.  I look at a forward tandem of Moyer / Brissett as guys who can potentially hit mid range shots, but that's no sure thing.  And they'd be on top of each other in the block, because that's where they are most effective RIGHT NOW, which would have a detrimental effect on floor spacing and offensive balance.  Just like things bogged down with a frontcourt of Coleman, Lydon, and Roberson playing together.

Future's bright for both of those players--it just might not fully actualize this season.  And I fully acknowledge that Brissett might round into form later in his career as a SF.  But right now?  Probably a stretch based upon what I've seen.
