just rotate, booker, scola, and bennett at pf. or hamilton at times. mccullough belongs in d league.

[Prokorov]

Booker and Scola get the minutes.

Hamilton steps in when called for.

None of the other PFs are worth playing. thoughts?

Sounds about right to me... i dont see scola playing 82 games, so there is some time there for mccullough or bennet to get some minutes.

Mccullogh has a way to go. i was disappointed to see he is avoiding any and all contacts on screens and still just slips everything. he still has a ways to go in alot of areas

Bennett is still kind of an unknown to me... i think he has talent and size but he really needs to learn the game more. he is still young without much court time on either level. maybe kenny can eventually get something out of him, but i doubt thats early on

Regarding Scola, he's actually pretty durable:

So yeah I expect we get 70 games out of him.

C-Mac needs to play most of the year in the d league. He's not ready. He rebounds okay but he plays very soft.

AB, an encouraging sign to me was how he got to the line the other night. He didn't run from contact. But he has some really stone hands and questionable bball IQ.

right im not saying scola misses half the year. but 10-15 games sounds right and limited in back to backs. someone will need to play those 15 games. overall i agree the big rotation is lopez, booker, scola, hamilton.

as far as cmc. he avoids contact. its most obvious on screens. he slips them with attempting to put his body in the way

i still need more film on bennett. alot of FTs, but it was also garbage time while they were in the bonus early. hard to gauge. but my gut says he just needs to learn the game more. there is skill there

i hope they dont waste mccullough on bench and let him play in d league instead.

I think C-Mac is afraid of getting hurt.

I'd elect to keep AB on the roster and let C-Mac play himself back into confidence.

you think mccullough is still scared due to the acl injury? i just think he is really raw. he had 16 games of college experience only plus an injury plagued year at a low weight and weak frame.
