He's short for a PF. But he's really strong and broad. He can hold his own as a PF, as a SF he's too slow laterally to defend opposing SF's well and his offensive skill set doesn't mesh with the 3 spot either.

Ok man, I'm not against people coming on here from other teams, in fact it's welcomed. But seriously take a look before you post about what you think our lineup should be, we already have enough threads on the topic that are frankly a little more informed than this.

I'd debate that.

It's really the Millsap starting at SF thing that turned me off.

Obviously none that were started by you... I'm not sayin, I'm just sayin.
Anyhoo, that lineup change doesn't improve any of our situations- Okur right now is not just Turkish- hes Thanksgiving Turkish- as in all his insides are missing and hes cooked.
Millsap can't play the 3 for more than a gimmick lineup. He's really getting exposed as not-quite-ready-for-primetime (Miami notwithstanding) this year.

Yeah he's short but he's built like a PF. He would get burned by every SF in the league and be pretty useless offensively as well. Yeah he hit a few miracle 3's against Miami but that doesn't mean he should be taking more of them.

He is. He also has better foot work and his reach is fantastic.

idk the reason i put him at sf was because i havent liked his defense much lately and also doesnt millsap have more reach

I guess the reach would be pretty close but I'd give the nod to AK. Someone more ambitious than I could probably find the measurements.
