Message: [QUOTE="jordoo, post: 1938010, member: 569"] Thanks for taking the time General20, its always appreciated. I try to look at these things and see what we have as far as players and what we don't have. Then its how will they fit together and how will JB use them. This team pretty much has everything which is great. I think we won't be playing much m2m but we will see the press regularly and sometimes it might be a soft press that backs off into 2-3 while other times its aggressive. Its going to take that 2-3 a while with all the new faces but we have tremendous size other than Gillon. Center is interesting. We have a low post scorer (Coleman) and a defensive specialist (Chukwu) but right now our PF is a better center than either. Obviously Coleman will continue to start and I think we see an effort to establish him on the blocks to start out most games. Chukwu is essential to the press and he's imposing in the middle of the zone so he's going to get minutes. That said JB obviously is most comfortable with Lydon (who can also play at the rim in the press) and he allows us to field multiple shooters and guards. I thought Roberson, Lydon and Coleman were all improved around the basket and in the paint. Between John and Frank we will have good enough play and scoring from the PG spot. Its a bit early to see which is better overall and I think we will find each is better in different situations or against different types of teams. That's a really good thing IMO. Battle is going to be one of those players that makes things happen on both ends of the floor. He's active, skilled, big and athletic. It also seems that he is ready and the stage will not be too big for him. White can dribble and pass better than I expected although they aren't his strengths. I think of everyone he needs to improve the most defensively and he's likely to play the top and the wing so that could be an issue. Once he figures out where and when he's getting his shots watch out. I really like TT, he's going to be a very good player next year. Moyer seems to be behind a bit because of the injury which is no surprise. Roberson did more in less minutes than usual and most of his offense was actual offense not put backs. He could be primed for a huge season. [/QUOTE]
