We'd have no more "fast breaks" led by Smith, jogging down the court, dribbling, wishing he had long, blond hair so he could shake it in the wind as he dribbled. **
On the negative side, we'd have weaker perimeter defense and . . . and . . . and greatly fewer shots from just inside the 3.
Smith is better than Asik but we'd play better with the latter.
**Sorry, that last one was silly but I promise that's the way it looks to me. He wishes he was Brad Davis of the old Lakers.
better rebounding is the only thing I agree with you on. well, and maybe better interior defense. but better offensive spacing. who will create spacing out of that line-up? Jenkins he has not made big shots on a consistent basis yet. I don't not believe he is ready to be a starter, unless we are in tank mode. LouWil I like him but he is to easy to guard if he is you best scorer, just to small. I just don't see that team scoring enough to win more that 20 games.
