first off, f jared jeffries and jerome james, they are both cowards and bring nothing to the table. this team should be about the energy and youth that is now the team's main characteristic.

starting 5:
C- eddy curry
4- z-bo
3- Q
2- jamal crawford, 4 buzzer beaters in 2007
1- starbury

that has to be the starting line-up. it gives you curry and z-bo up front causing havoc on offense, Q spreading the D, and crawford's the most reliable 2 on the team. marbury is obviously starting.

6th man - david lee.

lee should come in at 3 for Q as the 6th man. lee said he spent all offseason shooting 15' and working on his ballhandling, he will be ready for minutes at 3 crashing the boards and providing the hustle. he should play 30 minutes a game. Q is healthy and needs to stay that way, we should limit him like ginobili on the spurs and play him no more than 29 minutes a night.

main contributors off the bench - mardy collins, renaldo balkman, fred jones, winston chandler.
-collins put up 15 and 6 as a starter at the end of the year, he can provide size and defense-first at the 1.
-balkman is mr. energy, mr. hustle. what a gamer. awesome on the offensive glass and defense, young rodman-esque.
-fred jones is another isiah pet project. superb athlete and defense-first. flourishes in the open court.
-chandler has shown to be a good all-around player, handles the rock, makes the extra pass, hits his shots, plays D.

remaining people who dress and occasionaly play:
malik rose for his veteran savy.
demetris nichols for his 3-point shooting and hustle.
randolph morris just for the minutes and experience.
nate for the circus act when the game is out of reach (either winning or losing).
