Consider option for starting 5 (2 play makers)

[shangrila]

The idea of two playmakers is what this system is already kind of based on, they just don't have that other wing player yet. But yeah this move would be really, really bad defensively.

[dakim]

we don't have any playmakers.

it could work...Ridnour was considered a good defender in Milwaukee, and he played some 2 guard. He also looks to score a lot. He's also our most reliable outside shooter. How would putting him off ball with a slasher like Flynn be a bad idea?

It would be a very interesting line up. Ridnour is probably a more reliable scorer than Beasley in some scenarios. I like it

was considered? He sure isnt now

I really don't see why they haven't tried out Webster in the starting line up, it's not like we'll lose more games.

The turnovers are from Love, Beasley and Darko. Having two PG's in really won't change that... and our defense would get even worse, amazing as that sounds, lol

Those 3 are turning the ball over because they have to handle the ball more than they should. Good teams either have two capable play makers or play really good defense. Personally I don't feel this starting lineup would do very well because of the awful defense but the teams defense is already really bad and we clearly aren't competing for a playoff spot, might as well try it for a few games and see what happens.

Exactly. And you have some conclusions before much expected Ricky Rubio crosses the Atlantic.

P.S. teven_1 Athens, Greece?

speaking of Rubio, I just posted an article about him on a new thread, wont say any more about it here.
I'm down to try this lineup for 10 minutes a game, if we're playing the Lakers yeah don't put Ridnour on Kobe, but if we're playing a team with a weaker back court maybe we can get away with it. Could help Flynns confidence.

Also yeah I'm from Athens Greece, born,raised and bballed there.
