Really ?
2. You either didn't read the rest of the post or left it out on purpose (because you are a douche) where I specifically said A) "in a RnG setting" B) with a high-end PG C) DD/Sonny adding range.


Can be better if Amir growth (at least 7'2")
And if ED gain 100 pounds
And if the PG's name is Nash
And if i were a billionaire
if if if if if


3. Saying I don't know basketball is actually a compliment coming from you, you are a Bargnani fan after all. I would start worrying about my understanding of the sport if you and I agreed on anything basketball related. So thanks!


First i'm a basketball fan
Why i've seen a lot of WC's games if i'm not a basketball fan?
Bargs wasn't playing after all

Bye baby

Don't worry, Bargs will get his touches.


I'd be scared even if he was fouled out or injured
I don't like bad basketball

- Weems was one of the better perimeter defenders on this team last season. He's clearly above average when looking at the league as a whole.

- DD was a subpar defender last season but mainly due to age/experience. At his age, making big leaps in improvement isn't out of the question and right now there isn't a better option at SG (if Weems is at SF)

- So a 21 year old and a 24 year old improving their range to you is the equivalent of Amir growing to 7'2", Ed gaining 100lbs or a PG becoming as good as Nash? Really, that's the comparison you came up with? (GIVE UP BASKETBALL, IT'S NOT THE SPORT FOR YOU)

- Your basketball fandomship is definitely questionable. I don't care how many games you've watched. Half the **** you post is nonsense.

- FYI, please don't refer to me as "baby". It makes me uncomfortable. That is unless you're a female and look like Bargs' new girl.

Ah, on this team
OK, on THIS team
Above average in the league? In no way

At least you admit DD was a subpar defender

1) I have seen basketball from 1970 and played at decent level too
2) that collection was because you are too "if if fif if"

Baby, if you will be excited looking your best 2 players on the bench i think you're a dodgeball fan

OK

I get it now, it's either you can't comprehend or something is wrong with you.

Again, the 5 man roster that I put out there was for "entertainment" in "a run n gun setting". It had nothing to do with our "2 best players".

Here's something that should be funny. Since you're so upset by my lineup, how about you build a lineup with the players on our roster that would make the playoffs. Please put down your 5 since you're so unhappy with mine. Remember, mine was built for entertainment in the RnG, I never said anything about winning with that 5. Let's see you build a starting 5 that would make the playoffs using the players on this team.

Let me tell you something, you can't. You could put out any combination of 5 from this roster and they will STINK. You know why, because we don't have very many good players. Some are young and might improve but right now very few are any good.

So stop complaining and STFU.

I think Ed Davis will have a great rookie year playing alongside with our bigs in Bargs and Amir. I see him being very raw however athletic and really catch the hearts of the fans the way Pops did but be very efficient from both ends of the floor. I have very high hopes for Easy E and his future as a raptor if he lives up to the hype I've placed in him. I see him barely missing out on the ASG however due to the talent of rookie bigs this season. And the fact that Griffin is still a rookie won't help the fact. /end attempt to get thread back on topic... heh ;)

I'm fairly certain he's going to make the rookie team. Will he be competing against Blake Griffin though?

Do you know how many minutes they play together in 2009/2010?
112...
Average? About 90 seconds every game

With some of the other big men who could make it in I'd say his chances are no better than 50 percent. I'm just hoping he gets more than 20 minutes a game. Maybe ease him into the minutes in the first few months, but after the all star break 20 plus seems like a nice number for him. We're gonna suck and developing the young guys should be the priority this year.

Griffin, Cousins and Monroe are probably most likely to put up strong numbers. Then you have "rookies" like Erdem, Asik, Splitter, who have some pro experience. Splitter especially will get minutes. Then there's Aldrich and Favors. Then there's some college seniors that tend to have an easier time getting minutes, like Travis Booker, Pat Patterson, Damion James.

Then there's always surprises. No one would've put Taj Gibson or Jonas Jerebko in the rookie game this time last year.

Semih Erden didn't look too good in the summer league, don't see him gettin much pt, wasn't too impressed with Omer Asik, gonna be an adjustment period for him, but yea a guy like Splitter, a seasoned rookie, is gonna put up solid numbers for a semi-contender team and coaches will put him in solely based on that, Favors is gonna be similar to Davis, raw and gonna be inconsistent.......another sleeper could potentially be the knicks rookie, Timofey Mozgov

Asik lead the WC in rebounds per 40 for anyone that played a regular rotation. You're right, Erdem probably won't get minutes.
