Who's the starter now? 

Post#1 » by BBen » Thu Feb 21, 2008 5:07 am

Now that KT is gone who is the starter? I know that Petro has played fantastic lately but is he more of a PF? Will Swift get the nod? What do you think?

it should be petro, he's shown great potential in the last 10 games, and swift still looked a few steps behind the play. I'll could imagine PJ putting collison in at C and still giving petro and swift less than 10 minutes each though

It will be Collison, Swift will be first off the bench for now.

It should be Collison. I see no reason why it won't be, unless PJ really truely commits to playing the young guys and only plays them at center.

Elson? :crazy:

According to the PI, Petro will be starting. I'm happy with that he has earned a shot at it lets see what he can do with extended minutes.

I think Petro's earned it right now, but I hope to see Swift get some real minutes.

If it's not Petro, I'll be pi$$ed. He's earned it and as much as I'd like to see Robert Swift succeed, he needs to beat out Petro for the job. As of today Swift isn't even close.

I think it will be either Swift or Petro.
PJ already found his big man rotation and now he'll only replace Thomas with Swift. Elson, most likely, will only see minutes if Swft can't go or if there are foul troubles.
