40pct from 3 and 80 pct free throw shooter, and good rebounder (8.5 rebs/game). What more do you want?
Rose is not the answer.

The only true stretch player out of our signings. I would've preferred one of Portis or Randle, but Fiz is going to have to figure it out.

Always... always remember: Less is less. More is more. More is better and twice as much is good too. Not enough is bad, and too much is never enough except when it's just about right. - The Tick

Fitz will have some problems with a starting lineup.

Portis, Randle, Mitch are starter worthy players. I like Portis and Mitch combo....But I'm sure Randle was signed to be a starter.

I think Knox is a better PF than SF. I think RJ is a better SF than SG. But if Fitz puts RJ at the 2...Knox at the 3....Randle at 4. Thats a tall lineup, regardless of their defensive weaknesses. With Mitch back there to clean up, and Portis as insurance, thats not bad.

The offensive scorers at the guard position, in particular our outside shooting, will be inconsistant. Thats the only weakness I see. Quin Cook would fill two holes....PG and 3pt Shooting

Bobby Portis is a center, even won the starting center spot for the wiz.... enough with the knicks signed 3 PF. Knicks has 2 vacancies at PF and one at back up center.... so far we accomplished filling in the holes with one solid vet and two up and coming young front Court players.

Next a Pg and back up sf 3 point specialist

This is a solid point because, don’t kill me for this but, I think Mitch isn’t a shoe-in for the starting lineup. Not that we don’t WANT him there eventually, but it’s evident he might still need a curve to learn with defense and fouling before we expect consistent starting minutes fixed from him. So Portis and Randle could be either our starters at 5 and 4 or that will be the main rotation, with Taj as the veteran to back up and also keep teaching all the youngsters.

We attacked a position of clear need with two young and flexible signings along with a veteran to keep the development. There is a plan and while it isn’t the flashy one most expected, it IS a solid one where we should expect better from our team next season.

I like it.

Advanced stats aren't so exciting on defense.

Forum Po Po and #33 for a reason...
