Has to be Felton Crawford Nic Wes and LaMarcus. We have no others who wouldn't get steamrolled as a starter except Joel, who will be lucky to play 20 mins pre game. Our bench is nonexistent.
1 Felton, Flynn, Nolan, E-Will 2 Wes, Crawford, E-Will 3 Batum, ???, Babbitt 4 Aldridge, Craig Smith 5 Pryzbilla, Kurt Thomas, Haseem the Dream
I'd like to see the primary rotation be: Flynn/Smith Crawford/Williams Batum/Matthews Aldridge/Babbitt Przybilla/Thabeet Won't happen my way, but that's what I'd want to see.
If they don't buy out Felton; then this is the worse management in the league. Get him out now! Find out if Flynn or Nolan Smith can be a decent backup PG, they should have all the minutes. Buy out Thabeet; once you are lazy, it doesn't change! You don't want players like him on your team! Better to have kept Chris Johnson, not because he is ever gonna be an NBA player but he is a hard worker. I don't see any reason to play Crawford either; I don't care how good the Wallace trade was; this was a total failure not unloading him somehow! So now the only choice is to bench him; Matthews should be started to try to get his confidence back and Williams should play equal minutes. Center, start Pryz, i like to watch him play.
What I fear is that in these last 24 games he will play with players he would not normally play with. Basically a summer league roster where he is the go to guy. A role that he would not be in after this year. He will be better suited to play with "real" players and not scrubs. The guy can be a good complimentary player that will excel when other players are the main focus. When he plays with scrubs he plays a role that he just is not suited for. He can be our Frye or Novak.
You didn't do an updated roster. There you go. 1. Aldridge 2. Felton 3. Matthews 4. Nolan Smith 5. Luke Babbitt 6. Kurt Thomas 7. Joel Przybilla 8. Nic Batum 9. Craig Smith 10. Elliott Williams 11. Memo Okur (still hurt because of his back) 12. Shawne Williams (rumors of buying out his contract?) 13. Jonny Flynn (will be tested at home court) 14. Hasheem Thabeet (will be tested at home court) 15. Jamal Crawford Patty mills to return if Shawne Williams is bought out?
So starting lineup will be ? 1. LaMarcus Aldridge 2. Raymond Felton 3. Nicolas Batum 4. Joel Przybilla 5. Wesley Matthews
He just hasn't found his niche on what he is or is not good at. He doesn't know what kind of player he is, and how he's most effective. It's like he wants to prove that he can do everything, but there's nothing wrong with being a Novak type player. Just shoot the ball, find an open area and knock it down. If he could become a Novak type, that'd be awesome.
