Hassan to see time at at SF & PF

<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">At Arizona, Adams made a name for himself at the shooting guard position. He led the team in scoring in both his sophomore and senior seasons. But in the Nets’ up-tempo offensive system, Coach Frank thinks the 6-foot-4 Adams could see time at the two forward positions as well.

“What we are probably going to see in the NBA is teams playing smaller or at least playing with a shooting four-man,” Frank said. “There aren’t a lot of dominant bigs in the game. Hassan brings some versatility and can help us at a couple different positions.”

Adams doesn’t care where he plays as long as he can help the team win.

“I never label myself as a number, I always label myself as a basketball player,” Adams said. “Whatever Coach Frank tells me to do, I’ll do it.” </div>

Edit-Sorry for the small typo.

He could be the back up for Jefferson. IMO, he looks like a better player than Antoine Wright.

I think it would be somewhat foolish to think Hassan Adams could consistently play a 6'4" Adams at power forward. Playing him there sparingly doesn't seem legit either. While he does have the athleticism, he's still about a half-foot shorter than most NBA power forwards. Small forward is also a reach too at 6'4", but it's probably "just talk" from Lawrence Frank.

He played big when he was young, right? But I still can't imagine him playing the 4 spot at 6'4". The only possiblity I see of him logging minutes there is if all of the Big Three are on the bench simultaneously.

maybe hes looking at

the williams at pg and sg, hassan at the 3, wright at the 4 cliff at the 5,

 

[og15]

The title suggest that he will, while the article suggests that he "could". I don't think that would really work, he's only 6'4, but I mean if they play the Knicks and they have Marbury-Francis-Crawford and Q-Rich on.

Hot Sauce played PF his whole Sophomore year and was a pretty good player for Zona. I think this is a pretty good move if they want to run, or go small. His crazy athletiscm is a big upside for the Nets, and I believe they got a steal in the draft with Hassan. He's a gamer, who cares how short he is, he bring the intensity and will keep it the whole game. To tell the truth, he's no where near what you want as a SG, he's more of a SF, and probably is better than Antoine Wright.

NO!NO!NO!NO!NO u guys have it all wrong Adams is 6'4 not 6'9. average pf size is about 6'9 he's even a bit short for the sf but he does have great athlticism

 

[XSV]

I can't see Adams playing pf at 6'4". SF is pushing it.

 

[Nasty]

Playing him at the four is utter stupidity. He'd get posted up to death on defence.

Hassan is <u>way to small </u>to play power forward.

Well we pretty much we know that, but thanks for reminding us. Unless they are playing small against the Suns, Hassan should not play the 4. Then again Marion might abuse him as well.

 

[Ma3oxuct]

This reminds me of how I built a team in NBA Live with four shooting guards starting, and Johnathan Bender at center. I played a game against my friend (he had a "normal" and was much better at Live), and lost in a close overtime.

 

[Krstic]

haha good times..in live 07 i play with the lakers and put odom and radmonivich at C idk how that fits in with this conversation though
