LOL @ his real position being PF.


Go all the way back to high school and Outlaw has ALWAYS been a power forward.

He's not a traditional power forward, hell with heavy minutes he's not even a good power forward (at the NBA level) but he plays a hell of a lot better as a power forward than as a small forward.

Ever since Avery got whooped by the small-ball Warriors he's been scared to go small himself, and that coupled with Avery's insistence on pigeon-holing players into positions is hurting the Nets at this point in time.

@ JG - I should have said "best" instead of "real".

He's a power forward in the association if he's coming off the bench like he should be, never as a starter, but I think that is the point you are trying to make anyway...

Off the bench maybe, but I feel that its still quite a stretch.
