SF-Melo
SF-Early
SF-Thanasis
SG-JR Smith
SG-Shump
SG-THJr
SG-Ellington
PG-Calderon
PG-Larkin
PG-Pablo
CUT: Brown, Dalembert(SHOCK MOVE. Big Sam just does not match well as a 5 in the triangle)
Inactive list: Ellington, Pablo, Aldrich
Starting 5
C-Bargnani - His outside shooting will be key.
PF-Jason Smith - Hoping he can provide shot blocking and rebounding.
SF-Melo - Olympic Melo needs to show up this year.
SG-Shump - Need his defense to protect Calderon.
PG-Calderon
Fisher will have a 9-10 man rotation. He will have these guys in the rotation...
PF-Amare - He will play starter minutes but will be a 6th man and feast on the the 2nd unit.
SF-Early
SG-JR Smith - He will be back to playing one of the better 6th man in the league. Hopefully he gets his value up.
SG-THJr
PG-Larkin
Out of rotation....Pablo, Thanasis
only way Dalembert isnt the starting center is if he's hurt. Dont get too caught up in the skills needed to run the triangle. Knicks need someone to protect the rim, thats about all that Sam brings but he's good. Remember Bulls won 3 titles with Rodman. Obviously hes one of the best defender/rebounders (ever) but on offense he did little more than set picks and attack the offensive glass.
Rodman was a nut job but he had a very high BBall IQ. I just don't see Dalembert in that spot. The Bulls never had a rim protector. They played a lot of positional defense. Wasn't their top shot blocker at one point Pippen? I think values BBall IQ more than anything else. This is probably why he talks highly of Bargs. He wants people to not be surprised when Bargs starts at C.
Bargs has high bball IQ?
Not sure I can square that statement with visions of him flailing around on D like a hooked marlin.
