Sans Meyers Leonard

[Fez Hammersticks]

His absence - the defense is going to improve immensely.

I've always seen AFA as a small ball four. I'd love to see the finishing five be something like
Dame Cj, Hendo, AFA, and ED

This a developmental season. It's 2005 all over again. Play Vonleh. Let him make mistakes.

 

[KingSpeed]

We are most definitely not 2005 again. Dame, CJ, Aminu, and Plumlee are all better than anyone on that team. Meyers is one of ,y favorite players in the league, but with preparation, I think we'll be fine. We're very deep in our frontcourt. I'm looking forward to more from Vonleh and Alexander. Also will be fun to see a little Kaman out there. This season is most definitely NOT lost.

You see that he's out minimum of 4-6 weeks?

Somehow I doubt it.

I played PF and Center in high school so the correct answer is me!

Where do I get one of those 10 day contracts?

Cause in high school all you have to be is 6 feet tall if that to play a PF/C...you'd be a guard in the NBA if that

 

[Chris Craig]

Meyers Leonard will miss 4-6 weeks

Develop Vonleh by throwing him into the fire.

Season.

Over.

[Sinobas]

But you know what...a lot of teams have been successful without a "stretch 4". So maybe Stotts needs to get over his obsession.

Charles Barkley is only 5'7" and he played power forward.

Lol I wanna see a 5'7 guy average 20 boards now

 

[THE HCP]

I want to see Alexander get some run. Haven't been impressed with Vonleh so far. Get them both out there and see what they can do.

Develop Vonleh by throwing him into the fire.

Some players you can do that with. I'm not sure Vonleh is one of those players.

It's a good excuse to move Henderson into the lineup if the original plan was really to start him and use CJ as the super-sub. That way, when Leonard comes back or another PF proves worth of starting (Plumlee and Davis together is too little interior threat, even if Leonard rarely ventures in there), moving CJ to the bench is more a reshuffling than a demotion.

Sneaking Henderson into later taking McCollum's starting job...I like the way you think!

Meyers Leonard may be out awhile with his dislocated shoulder. Does anyone know how long one of those takes to heal?

At least a month.

[Trackjack]

Some guys excel when they get that shot so I would give it to Von but putting in the starting line up who knows he might catch fire. I also like to see Alexander.
