Roster Breakdown (top 9)

[illmatic99]

Just summarizing my thoughts on the roster as it stands right now. As I was away from Blazerland for a month, I am just catching up to the happenings this week-- so excuse me if you guys already did this.

Play makers: Dre, Roy, Jerryd (to an extent)

Perimeter Scorers: Roy,Dre, Jerryd

Shooters: Nic, Wes, Rudy (???)

Perimeter Defenders: Nic, Wes, Jerryd (???)

Post scorers: Aldridge, Oden (???)

Post defenders/ rebounders: Oden, Camby, Aldridge, Joel (???)

Am I missing any of these?

Biggest holes seem to be at post scoring and play-making. Someone who can score in the paint, and be satisfied with about 10-15 mpg would suffice. And I'm not convinced Dre and Roy can handle all the load. If Nic has improved enough this summer, maybe he can assume some of the responsibility there, but I still think we need a PG to back up Dre.

I read that Johnson can handle some PG. As I didn't watch him in SL, can anyone give some insight into that proposition? What about Dante and backup PF?

 

[Masbee]

I have alreay posted this at least a couple of times, but here goes again, barring any further trades and presuming full health the big minutes will go to these players:

Miller, Roy, Batum, LA, Oden - starters
Bayless, Matthews, Camby - big minutes off the bench
Cunningham part of the rotation
and I should now add that Pryz will also be part of the rotation if he is indeed fully healthy.

The rest will get scraps and injury minutes.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

I would say that Camby is the starter for the first half of the season, and maybe all, depending on Greg's recovery.
Major subs:
Oden
Matthews
A point guard to be named later

Mopup minutes:
Dante
Armon Johnson

Starrin' in the D-League
Babbitt
E-Will

Traded (to get that PG we want)
Rudy
Bayless
Possibly Prz.

Playing in Europe
Patty

Glued to the bench
Pendergraph

Mystery: Przybilla. Either traded or slowly worked back in to the rotation, possibly replacing Greg Oden because his leg fell off.

 

[Mediocre Man]

I would say that Camby is the starter for the first half of the season, and maybe all, depending on Greg's recovery.

If Greg is 100% at training camp, he is the starter. If he isn't 100%, then he shouldn't play
