Re: The Dwight Effect
I agree it does look like a good read a few pages in. I keep waiting for someone to write how offensive shot selection impacts the defense.
I know everyone wants to hammer shooting but I think we need a good post option. I just can't stress enough how I feel players like McGee ought to be on the block this summer. I see all the money going to him when I think what we could get out of Ioannis Bourousis every night for 4 million. & his contract with Milano is up this summer. A 29 year old mobile 7 footer with a 7'5 wingspan. 57% from the field, 39% from three, & 8.3 rebounds a night in 24 minutes (14 PPG). I'd love to see this guy share the 5 spot with Koufos (and McGee out of town). Give them both 24 minutes a night. He'd fit so well offensively next to Faried I'd start him.
