I wouldn't even object attempting to go small ball with the bench. Doc really has not attempted enough lineups.
Maybe some sort of:
Austin / Crawford / Hamilton / Hedo / Udoh lineup against Memphis bench. I know I didn't include Hawes, but I'm thinking with a lineup like that Udoh's rim protection and shot blocking is what you would prefer. It won't happen though, one of Doc's weaknesses is the lack of imagination with lineups.
The other day we saw Davis knocking down 17ft jump shots. I don't think we utilize the pick n pop enough.
I'm more concerned that Hawes refuses to take open shots than what % he is actually shooting. So many times he ruins the ball movement by pump faking and then just standing there.
I wouldn't mind seeing Hamilton play some 2-guard to limit Courtney Lee.
I also like seeing Hedo play some backup SF purely for his height and rebounding advantage. We need to beat Memphis on the boards.
