way to reply to ur own post olskool. rogers is stronger and can shoot three's better than martin, but thats about all his advantages. rogers is a net and so of course i like him , and i actually have always liked him, but he doesnt inspire confidence when u watch him play, he is a really inconsistent shooter, 3's and 2's, if he got in really good shape as in losing some weight he could probably be more athletic, but he has had trouble making layups on the break with kidd, and it shouldnt be nerveracking watching someone shoot a layup. but hopefully next year he'll come in in really good shape and do a lot better than he has this year. but i wouldnt really bet a whole lot on that. and if u know nothing else about the nba, you should know that people start for a reason, and people come off the bench for a reason. martin starts because he is better than rogers, no question at all about that, if rogers were better byron scott would start rogers. if people are good enough to start, then they will, because the organization wants to win, and if starting rogers would help them win more, then they would, however, they dont start him and for good reason. also at this stage in his career he's probably not physically good enough to start and play 35+ mins/game.
