Depth Chart for Each Team for the 08/09 Season

Scalabrine · Post #1 » by **Scalabrine** » Mon Aug 25, 2008 7:15 pm

So everyone can attempt to get familiar with what each team will be putting out on the floor every night I thought it would be useful to have fans of each teams post what the projected startling lineups and key reserves will be for next season.

With Marbury (Doubtful)
Marbury/Duhon/Robinson/Collins/Roberson
Crawford/Richardson/Robinson
Chandler/Gallinari/Richardson/Jeffries
Randolph/Lee/Gallinari/Jeffries/Rose
Curry/Lee/Randolph
Bold = Starters
Italics = Others in the rotation
Others - Jared Jeffries, Mardy Collins, Malik Rose, Anthony Roberson, Jerome James

Without Marbury
Duhon/Robinson
Crawford/Richardson
Chandler/Gallinari
Randolph/Gallinari/Lee
Curry/Lee

I think its a possibility that Richardson starts opening night instead of Chandler but we will see. I aslo think the team would be better off starting Lee over Curry and having Curry come off the bench to beat on the second units and keep the offense afloat while some of our starters rest. D'Antoni has shown in that he will play players out of their natural position if it makes the team better (Marion at PF, and Amare at C). The Knicks still need to make at least one move, either moving one of Curry, Lee, Randolph to give more of a role to Gallinari for next season, moving Marbury to make room for new free agent Duhon to share the point guard role with Roberson, Robinson, Crawford and Collins. D'Antoni ran 7 and 8 man rotations with the Suns but with the Knicks there is more depth so who knows if he makes changes or continues to play 7 or 8 men and not play some guys that are used to getting minutes.

What are other teams depth charts and rotation conflicts?

Raptors

Bigmen
Starters
C/PF- Jermaine O'neal
PF/C - Chris Bosh

First and probably only big off the bench
C/PF Andrea Bragnani

Deep depth and injury
PF -Kris Humphries
C -Nathan Jawai

Swings
Starters
SF - Jamario Moon (possible Kapono, to be determined at camp)
SG- Anthony Parker
First Swing of the bench
SF- Jason Kapono
Deep depth and injury
SG - Hassan Adam
SF - Joey Graham
SG? Roko Ukic has the size to play SG

Point
Starter
PG - Jose Calderon
Backup
PG- Roko Ukic or PG- Willie Solomon (to be determined at camp)

Analysis
We have a very good, very skilled big man rotation. We could go to stunningly good if Bragnani goes back to his (runner up for the Rookie of the Year award) form of his first year or actually improves on that and shows why he was the number one overall pick, and O'neal stays healthy.

Our SF rotation is not the huge weak link most people including many members of the Raps board make it out to be. Kapono and Moon have their different strengths and weaknesses and compliment each other nicely. Not a strength but not an exceptional weakness.

Our SG is very weak. Parker is a good glue SG, but we have literally no proven or even very decent backup. When you need backup minutes from Hassan Adams or play out of position players like Ukic, Solomon, or Kapono then you are in trouble. We can just pray Parker stays healthy. (the fact that I just typed that sentence in all seriousness shows how weak we are)

Our PG spot is solid provided Calderon stays healthy.
Ukic and Solomon competing for the backup are talented enough if unproven to provide decent minutes off the bench.

Sacramento, a.k.a. Land of the Midget PF

PG: Beno Udrih/Bobby Jackson/Bobby Brown
SG: Kevin Martin/Quincy Douby/Francisco Garcia
SF: John Salmons/Francisco Garcia/Donte Greene
PF: Mikki Moore/Jason Thompson/Shelden Williams/Shareef Abdur-Rahim/Kenny Thomas
C: Brad Miller/Spencer Hawes

A few notes:
1. Brad Miller is suspended for the first five games, and Hawes will be starting. If Hawes shows that he's ready and produces well, it's possible Miller is traded for expirings/picks/youth.

2. Mikki Moore is the starting PF for now, but Thompson is 1932589712498234 times more talented, so it's probable that he becomes the starter sometime during the year.

3. Anyone need an undersized PF?

Scalabrine · Post #17 » by **Scalabrine** » Tue Aug 26, 2008 2:13 am

That Clippers lineup looks pretty good actually, a very good defensive team with plenty of offensive weapons. Camby has a decent mid range game now so he and Kaman should be pretty good together with Camby playing off ball defense getting alot of blocks. They will be competitive.

If i was the cavs, i would have

pg - Mo williams
sg - Delonte West

Delonte plays very good with LBJ in my opinion.

have the cavs officially signed Delonte West yet or may he still bolt to Europe or even another team (they were looking at sign and trade options last i heard).
