If we went with these guys and played zone D--I would love to see how other teams would score.

C Mosgov 7-1
F Amare 6-10
F Gallo 6-10
G Chandler 6-8
G Randolph 6-11

If I was coach--that just might be my starting line up for the first 5 minutes:)

Should be fun against Mini when they will play 5 point guards....
They will run... shim... shim... between the legs...

Looks like fun. Until they throw a full court press on us.

Just something to throw out there--once in awhile we have the ability to go very very big with Randolph's ball handling ability. When is the last time we could even talk about an approach like this for a few minutes here and there? That is the talent/diversity level we have now.

Randolph had more leeway handling @ LSU than he did @ GS. But you can see from this video his potential as a guy who CAN play some 1 guard on occasion--which would present an absolute nightmare of match ups for any team with our remaining size

I agree he can play some one guard in spot minutes. isergio is implying that I and other people believe he's on Magic Johnsons level, argueably the greatest PG of all time. Definitely top 5. I never said such a thing in my life.

i can't say it will likely happen, or even if it would work, but i would not be shocked to see mda tinker with some lineups in some situations, particularly during pre-season and maybe early on that feature randolph in the back court.

The guy has played 70 games in the NBA--Im sure you havevnt seen more than 3-4 of them--and Randolph probably played little--so you have very little basis to make the statement given his age and experience level. That being said neither do I--but I think he has the potential to move to the 1 guard at times.

I have seen him 20 to 30 times since he has been in the league. Now Im no expert on the guy but from what I have seen he makes suspect plays. I expect young guys to make mistakes but Randolph should be finishing plays not starting them.

Camby was used to bring the ball up or at least help with that int he back court when we did the big Spree-Houston back court. He was also used to guard guards sometimes.

No reason Randolph can't to do the same

If he can bring it up in practice against Felton and TD why not?

Highlights - Sounds like he's been reassured by staff that he's not going anywhere. Has been working on his shooting with Phil Weber, taking hundreds of shots a day.
