Message: [QUOTE="Hunt for 7, post: 5131080, member: 12414"] Are Liam and AK really to similar in skill set to play together. I look at them standing next to each other and the look close in height. They are both great shooters. They both have issues with being in between AK to small to play the 4 and Liam maybe lacks the lateral quickness to guard the 3. Liam I think has a better pull up game. He has an effective floater that he can use when he sees he does not have the right angle to get to the hoop. First let me say I love Alex, respect him and this is nothing but an observation. At times he has gotten stopped at the rim by the defender. In those cases a little pull up floater is critical. Unfortunately there is no world we’re AK and Liam are not in the starting lineup. So roster construction comes into play, but how do you not take a talent like Liam if he wants to come. So we have are two best players are both tweeters position wise but especially on defense. Reed Jr I hope can find a way to stay in the floor and use all that talent on every possession. Samson is a victim of our roster construction since our guards are not threatening the basket when coming around the screen and it puts no pressure on the defense. If the teams are switching everything we should be able to take advantage of the mismatches and we only have taken advantage of a few of those opportunities. I think Nowell will put pressure on the defense as he will get into the lane and have options. Nowell is really the only player we have that is fast and quick. We need his speed and he defends better than Mahaney. He will be the starting point guard at some point this season. [/QUOTE]
