Too small a sample size to extrapolate into anything. Sure they can do some good things together. But if neither develops a jump shot, both start, and teams gameplan for the tandem, you'll see very little spacing for them to do this on a regular basis and Monroe will get picked on defensively.

That's perfect actually. I want to see them in some Marc Gasol/Zach Randolph kind of things. Moose could learn a few things from watching Joakim Noah as well, who is less talented/skilled but makes every move with a purpose. Moose is a terrific passer, I think he can improve his TO woes by being more decisive and less focused on drawing the "AND WAAAAAAN"

u get wat i mean tho, if we get a nice shooting 2 and a shooting/athletic 3 with knight, thats a lot of outside firepower with 2 giants inside, one of them being the facilitator and one being the monster.

Granger, Iggy, or Gay are the answer IMO. If Stuckey is going to stay and start, then I think Granger should be the player we get. If Stuckey is the Sixth Man, then we should get Iggy or Gay and trade Bynum away. This is of course easier said that done but it's necessary to make a move like this.

Granger or Gay then, but not Iggy.
