One thing is for sure, I don't think that TT has been properly used. I do believe that a good coach can figure out the right way and position to play TT. Lenny has done nothing but talking about what he may do with this kid, but he has yet to put him on those situations. The problem or the reason for Lenny's problem is Kurt Thomas. If he promotes TT to PF, what will happen with Kurt? TT can perhaps do a lot more things than Kurt. When his shots are on target, he is unguardable. In my opinion, I would consider a lineup change just for a search for energy. My options would be: Marb, Crawf, JYD, TT, Nazr, or Marb, Crawf, Houston, TT, Kurt; Or Marb, Houston, JYD, TT, Nazr or Kurt. Since Houston has yet to prove that he is capable, I would use Crawf for the moment as the SG, but JYD would have been my SF for sure with Kurt either as the starting Center or Nazr. I prefer Nazr because he has been consistent all year. Until a trade happens to clean up the PF position, we will never know what we have or how good we can be. Kurt is not that good of a defender.

TT as a 4 would work in some matchups if he was coming off the bench and was used there situationally.
He is not better than KT as a 4- KT brings defense and real boarding
He is not better than Sweets as a 4- he brings low post moves and offensive boards
If Lenny wanted to go small- with Marbury, Crawford, Houston, TT and KT/Nazr- then yes, having TT as a 4 makes sense-
but, I'd rather probably go small with Marbury, Crawford, Houston and Sweets & Nazr- three outside options and 2 low post/offensive rebounders [/quote]
