I really like how committed management is to acquiring 3-pt shooting big men.



Excellent "system" player is Luke. A great 10th man for sure!

Haha, I got nothin' to say. Just a flier on a semi-young(ish) guy.

Y'all better watch out for our friend who's adamantly opposed to us signing anyone who might help us win a game. Apparently Dedmon is worth 10+ wins. Luuuuke may be worth another 15 or so. Shiiii, we're up to about 45 wins at this point. :lol:

I'd prefer this flier on Ian Clark tho. Luuuuke better not take any mins away from FatherJohn.

Guess that's why Stone was cut.
Are we still signing a PG.
Or will we have only Dennis backed up by #DelaneySucks - with Bembry as emergency handler?

Actually, if Baze starts at SG (more than likely) it will be Delaney and Bembry at PG and SG off the bench - Bembry will have some ball handling responsibilities.

So how do the lineups work:

PG: Dennis Schroeder/Malcolm Delaney/Tyler Dorsey (GLeague)
SG: Kent Bazemore/DeAndre Embry/Marco Belinelli
SF: Taurean Prince/Nicholas Brussino/Luke Babbitt (is he a SF or PF?)
PF: Ersan Ilyasova/John Collins
C: DeWayne Dedmond/Mike Muscala/Miles Plumlee

OR is it:
PG: Dennis Schroeder/Malcolm Delaney
SG: DeAndre Embry/Marco Belinelli/Tyler Dorsey (GLeague)
SF: Taurean Prince/Kent Bazemore/Nicholas Brussino
PF: Ersan Ilyasova/John Collins/Luke Babbit
C: DeWayne Dedmond/Mike Muscala/Miles Plumlee

In either line-up, I expect to see Bembry running the offense some.

I'm telling you with the the amount of 3 point shooting we have and a fair number of guys who can play D, Bud could win some games. Bombs Away!!!!!

I think this is basically right. I wasn't aware we had Wayne Embry's son on the roster tho. Did we trade Bembry for him? :wink:

This is why soccer is so popular worldwide - just a ball and open space needed. Ball doesn't even need to be that good.

Dennis was wrong for that though... :lol: Poor kid - he came back for more though.

Hawks sign Luke Babbitt to one year deal. Maybe Budz can turn him into the Hawks new Korver...

I'm kind of excited to see an air-raid offense predicated around the 3-ball and Dennis Schroder drives, should make for some exciting basketball.

Babbit is top 5 in 3 point % the past two seasons. Those kinds of players don't just go for the min, and that's exactly what we got him for.

NBA made such a big deal about Stance being the new sock providers last year and they did have some awesome designs but now it appears that Nike has taken over everything. From what I've seen Nike has just taken this as an opportunity to pimp out their swoosh on generic sock designs so as to not distract from the greatness of their logo.

Look at this:

That is, count it, FOUR Nike logos just on the front of a uniform before we get to whatever local sponsor (Chick-Fil-A I imagine) and then oh yea, the team's actual logos and let's not forget the last but actually least, NBA logo. I'm sure it'll even be a 50k fine if a player decides to roll down their socks obscuring the Nike logo.

The Nike swoosh is obnoxious.
