Message: [QUOTE="CL82, post: 4511652, member: 44"] Yeah, I am inclined to believe that using Donovan and Adama together for extended periods isn’t going to be effective given their skill sets. They are both back to the basket guys and using them both together, just brings another defender into the paint. That said, I have no problem with overlapping them a minute or so, as they come in and out to steal more minutes for Clingan. That would get Donovan an extra four or five minutes right there. I joke about it, but I actually see Adama at the top of the key passing down to Donovan. I think it could be effective. I’m not sure how effective Samson can be for long stretches, given that he hasn’t played this year, but I absolutely like his size and physicality giving Alex a rest during the game. As much as I hate to risk reigniting the Bouknight debate because it seems to trigger some people, I don’t think Donovan is “ready“ to play in the NBA, but for different reasons than James. As big a guy as he is, and he is still a young kid in coming into his “grown man” muscles. I think that Clingan would benefit from another season, expanding his game, getting some more range, maturing and just getting to enjoy being a college student one more year. That said, much as I said with Bouknight, I think if someone’s offering you, life-changing money, you probably have to take it. [/QUOTE]
