AR isn't a bad rebounder on a per minute basis. He's gonna get stronger as he matures and I don't forded him being a problem for us rebounding wise.

I like Chandler but if they want to improve team balance I can understand having to move him. This is all speculation right now they may not move him at all.

PG- Felton/TD
SG-?
SF-Gallo/Chandler
PF-Stat/AR/Chander
C-Turiaf/AR or Mozgov

The ? is the thing candidates
Buike, Fields, Walker, TD (Brown?)

d'Antoni will have some potential to juggle for mismatches

He may play there but I expect Amar'e to beef if he gets much of regular
minutes at center.

It will be fun to watch this team come together.

This really is one of the top athletic teams in the league now. 1-10 we have some superior athletes on this roster. I wouldn't want to have to chase this group down for 48 minutes. With all this speed, there should be no excuse for not getting back on D either! This team had better not be a poor transition team.

I agree with you Nix: THe real test for MDA this season is not just how many buckets the fellas put up each night, not just the number of wins, not just the offensive stats achieved. It's really how well they do at the other end, the tenacity, the will to stop other teams from taking it to the hole. For MDA to succeed here, our guys MUST make other teams into shooting teams. If he can achieve that, we may really have something special.

And I agree about the speed and athleticism working in our favor, as well as the potential for wreaking havoc with mismatches using speed and also the P&R when other teams decide to chase back to defend. It's going to be fun to watch.
