They only thought that because he has absolutely no point guard skills.

I never thought tweener implied some sort of positive versatility, but maybe it does. But then tweener>undersized, which should have given Granger an advantage over McCants as prospect.

SO what do we expect to get from him at the deadline?

How about Luther Head?
Keith Bogans?
Ike Diogu?

I don't think he's even worth that.

typically tweener is stuck between two spots due to size and skill

combo is someone that can play both ala foye.

with mccants wingspan he is not undersized.

A tweener is someone who doesn't have the size to play the position that they have the skills for. Being undersized for your position and being a tweener is the same thing.

No, this is a tweener:

I'm glad I'm not the only one that thought of him. Did you know he is jail in for murder in real life? I loved his character.

Wingspan helps, but does not completely compensate for being short.

foye is playing like crap its time to start Mccants

McCants has 8 fouls and 9 three point attempts in his last 33 minutes

I'd agree that a combo can play both and a tweener is stuck between; I don't think Shad is stuck between anything though, he hasn't done anything to lead anyone to believe he's anything but an undersized 2. If he had some skill running an offense, you might call him a tweener, but he doesn't. combo>tweener>undersized, and Shad is the latter.

Just because Foye is sucking doesn't mean Shad doesn't suck more.

^Really? So is Odom a combo forward? I don't think I have ever heard the term combo forward. I 100% agree with "Just because Foye is sucking doesn't mean Shad doesn't suck more." The Foye hate around here is out of control.

Also with Al out, my McCants for May deal makes even more sense.

I think it's almost a certainty that McCants is traded for a big now.

Vindicater · Post #59 » by **Vindicater** » Mon Feb 9, 2009 11:49 pm

Trade him for Amare:)
