IDK about overtake Booker, but certainly he can play 15 mins a night

Yeah, we need all of the talent we can get. Acy will need to show more in meaningful minutes in order to even begin a discussion about taking anyone's place.

Since Atkinson started to play RHJ at backup 4, RHJ's minutes has been decided by the matchup situation between Booker and opponent team PF.
I think we'll see the same with RHJ and Acy. Acy's minutes will be determined basing on how well RHJ plays as backup PF. If RHJ plays like last game, Acy will not get meaningful minutes. If RHJ plays in the way he usually plays, Acy will see 3 to 8 minutes a game.

Would Booker's talent be missed if we swapped him for Corey Joseph?

Sure, but we need NBA caliber PG play & perimeter defense. We'd definitely take a back at PF, but it would open up more time for RHJ & CMC to get some more PF minutes. Plus, what's the worst that can happen? We start losing?

Idk...I think when we look back at this season and see how decimated this team was compared to what it was at the outset, we won't be as upset as most of us are now.

Our PG position is obviously super-thin. Dinwiddie and Whitehead should be 3rd stringers and filling time in at the D-League to help with a slow progression into the league, yet they are alternating as the starting PG.

At the present moment, I'd love a PG but we also have to think about the fact that Cory Joseph would be stretched himself. He goes from being a great backup PG on a faux-contending team to the 2nd/3rd option on a bottom-dweller. Joseph wouldn't look as good as he does now when he's one of the top 2-3 targets of the defense.

I personally think Booker is more replaceable than we're led to believe. He's not really a bruiser or not a big rebounder. He is an active guy who forces stuff to happen, but he's not going to stop you from being bad.

At the same time, CJ is kinda replaceable as well. I think we'd basically be shifting from one flawed role player to another. If we were more talented and had less needs, it would be easier to make a call on the pros and cons of the deal. Right now, we just know that we'd still be dreadful.

Booker is fun as heck, but I'd take Cory Joseph without thinking twice

If Acy can continue shoot like tonight, he should have a position in the team.

probably most teams in NBA... always like him

His numbers throughout his audition thus far: 7.4 PPG / .579% FG / 62% 3PT / .762 TS% / 27.9 PER / +20.1 NetRtg.

Those numbers will obviously come down but he's another good pick up by Marks. He slyly stole him from Dallas and Kudos to him for realizing Bennett was a waste of time immediately.

I'd like to see Acy in the starting line up in place of Bogs. It would be Lopez, Booker, Acy, LeVert and Lin. He would add defense, rebounding and hustle to the line up which are some of the Nets biggest weaknesses. Not sure if he can guard some of the better small forwards out there, but he can't do a worse job than Bogs.

If he signed for the rest of the season and continued to play well, then I could see him starting a game or two. But I don't see him starting anytime soon.

I think he has earned a contract for the rest of the season. I'd only want him to start over Bogs if Lin and LeVert were also in the starting line up and it may be awhile before Lin's back.

MrDollarBills · Post #115 » by **MrDollarBills** » Mon Jan 23, 2017 1:09 am

he's a PF, small ball C. I don't see what sense it makes playing him at SF.

LostInACrowd · Post #116 » by **LostInACrowd** » Mon Jan 23, 2017 4:23 am

The reason for trying Acy at SF is that with Lopez in the line up, the Nets are always outrebounded. He is a huge upgrade over Bogs in that department. He also doesn't commit silly turnovers like Bogs which helps since the Nets almost always have more TOs than their opponent. As I said above he is also a better defender than Bogs. Where Bogs is better is on the offense where he is a better scorer, but with Lin, LeVert and Lopez on the floor it shouldn't matter. Bogs is a better 3 pt shooter but Acy is solid at 35% for his career.

He may never have played SF before, but it is something I still would like to see tried since I can't see any other way for the Nets to become better on the boards with Lopez out there with the roster they have atm.

It really doesn't matter since I doubt KA will ever use him there.

I'd be fine with this, except I might start Hamilton over Booker.

Acy has a quick first step.

i-am-luv-sic · Post #119 » by **i-am-luv-sic** » Mon Jan 23, 2017 5:22 am

acy is like the early season booker before he started trying to do too much stuff. that's how i see him. just imagine if you could have early season booker and acy at the same time.

I understand the reasoning, but lets not discount bench depth. Also, I don't want Acy spending too much time away from around the basket for boards, playing SF draws him outside and he may get locked into some matchups that may not be favorable for a PF type.

If we stop screwing around and put LeVert/RHJ at 2 and 3 i bet that rebounding gets cleaned up since both guys hustle and have length. The 2nd unit never has rebounding issues. the fact that Lopez can't be bothered to clean the glass is the biggest issue moreso.
