Nah...the Bench plays need Hawes' spacing and passing and the Starters need Al Jefferson's post-up and improved defense.


i think the starters needs Hawes' spacing and passing while the bench needs Al Jefferson's post-up and improved defense


The last thing the second team needs is Al. They're doing just fine with shooting and passing at every spot. Adding Al would change that in a really bad way.

since they're doing mostly shooting from the outside, they'll need a post up player to suck in the defenders (like Axe in dota). reverse floor spacing!

I might have to stop hating on Marvin.

I really like Lamb's ability to rebound. That should help ease the loss of MKG's rebounding.

If he would do stuff like this more often instead of putting people down people would actually begin to like him.

I didn't realise hansbrough could hit the 3. I can see him getting minutes for his gritty play if he can keep the floor spread.

unless he's developed it in one season, he can't. He's made 1 three in his entire career prior to that one

Hansbrough can hit the three consistently in practice, especially from the corners. He beat Terrence Ross in a shootout a year ago. The question is whether he can do so in regular season games. It's largely a matter of confidence. I am encouraged that the Charlotte coaching staff has been working with him intensely on his short jumpers, his free throws, his long ball. Summer of 2014, he worked with a shooting coach in Raleigh specifically to develop a three-point shot.

Hes been setting fairly legit screens, making some hard rolls to the basket, trying to play defense, and fighting for rebounds and defensive post position. Ive seen him get out and run on some fast breaks and actually score on at least one. Its been wild. I'm not sure how to express how relieved I am by this and I hope he can keep it up for 28-30mpg throughout the regular season.

Hansbrough's corner three isn't as useful as other players since his main strength is offensive rebound.

Thanks for the honesty.
