Bench Mobb

A simple question.
Would our second unit be good enough to be a starting five with other teams?

I definitely think they could start on a couple in the East. What would you rather have?

PG- Duhon
SG- Cuttino Mobley/Anthony Roberson
SF- Quentin Richardson
PF- Al Harrington
C- David Lee

Or...

PG- Jordan Farmar
SG- Sasha Vujacic
SF- Trevor Ariza
PF- Lamar Odom
C- Andrew Bynum/Pau Gasol

I'd take our lineup any day of the week, twice on Sundays.

Oh yeah.. that said, if Anthony Roberson gets released or anything, we should definitely take a look at him. I've been a fan of the Gators for a while, and I think he'd be a great triangle combo guard off the bench. He's a dead eye shooter, just needs to get consistent minutes.

Absolutely. That guy is a tremendous shooter who seems to know how to get open for his shots, and has a quick release, too. I probably wouldn't trade for him per se, but yeah, if he gets released, sign him quick.

For the thread...yeah, that is a very nice lineup we have as our second unit. It gives you excellent defensive playmaking, good rebounding, a defensive anchor in either pau or bynum, a team that can run and has shooters, and excellent length.
