Message: [QUOTE="nelsonmuntz, post: 3780915, member: 833"] Hurley likes playing 3 guards, and that is getting Adams and Gaffney a lot of PT. I do not like that lineup. Martin or Polley at the other wing makes our lives a lot easier on both ends of the court. Polley is 5 inches taller than Adams. I don't care if Polley doesn't have a handle, he can shoot over most 3's and is a threat to score at the basket. He doesn't need to be as quick as Adams to contest shots on D and he is much more effective in help D. Martin is more athletic than Adams, taller, and probably has 3-4 inches on him in wingspan. That means he can both challenge shots and make passes more difficult. Hurley then ends up moving Martin to the 4, so Whaley or Carlton is by themselves inside on both ends and on the boards. Martin is tough, but at this level, everyone is tough. He just isn't big enough to bang with player 2-4 inches taller and 30 pounds heavier. A team just needs size, and with Cole and Bouk, we don't need 3 or 4 ballhandlers on the court. We need bigger lineups on the court. [/QUOTE]
