what if the Magic did the same thing with Howard, would we know what this kid was capable off? N.Y needs to learn from the other teams around the league. When you draft a guy that played 4 years of collegiate basketball, you have to take your chances and let the guy play. With the guys that we have in the starting lineup, Frye would not be forced to do things that he is not accoustumed of doing. Marb, Q, TT, will be taking all of the shots in the beginning anyways, what we will ask of Frye is to do the little things like provide length, rebounding and some defense...
If you don't start him, you may endup with the same problem that we had with Sweetney. This kid is a quick learner, he needs to be the starter, because by midseason, he will be a hell of a player. I am all for letting the young boys play as early as possible. Sweetney will be traded anyway, so what is the use?
Our starting lineup should be: Marb, Q, TT unfortunately, Frye and James
I would much rather have: Marb, Q, Ariza, Frye and James on the court as our starter, but that will not happen. Marb needs to have athletes that will bring it early in the game and sustain the effort. We would be much quicker on both ends with that lineup. As far as I am concerned, TT will be traded, so there is no reason to showcase him. Play the guys that we intend to keep around for a while.
