A little off-topic (but following the latest bits of this thread), who knows what the Nets are doing. They currently are overloaded at the big man positions with loads of players (Boone, Williams, Lopez, and Krstic... plus the other 2 picks) that need PT to get better. And that doesn't include Diop. If the goal is to use these players as trade bait, it'll be hard showcasing all of them. (though in this case, since they're all young, you could get by trying to sell potential)
I'm a little shocked that they gave up on Krstic - he was clearly a top-10 center on the way up 2 seasons ago before his knee injury.
Starting Frontcourt
C Krstic
PF Boone
SF Yi
Backups
C Lopez
PF Williams
SF Simmons, Anderson, CDR
Simmons and CDR can get a few minutes at SG as well. Throw in the inevitable injuries and I think there are enough minutes to go around.
Have they completely given up on Nenad? I agree that it's too early for that.
If it didn’t work in Phoenix with Nash and Stoutamire... it’s just not a winning formula. It’s an entertaining formula, but not a winning one. - Derek Harper talking about D'Antoni's System
