The truth hurts. At times we had nobody else to score without Bouknight out there.I hope Rothstein apologized to the team for that bulls*#t tweet he sent out regarding the team after James got drafted. Overall, I enjoy him, but it was an unnecessary shot
Hawkins is going to have to start and it's going to have to happen fairly early in the season. You can't have Martin and Jackson starting together at the 2 and 3.
REMEMBER THE NAME
So you're of the thought that we'll go to Samson before Tyler if we need a 3???My current thought is if we need a deuce, its a play for Sanogo. If we need a three it’s going to be RJ, Akok, or one of the new guys.
Why would we look to the 6th best 3-point shooter on the team when we need a three?My current thought is if we need a deuce, its a play for Sanogo. If we need a three it’s going to be RJ, Akok, or one of the new guys.

So you're saying you wouldn't expect Hurley to draw up a 3 for Polley or Gaffney unless Cole, Hawkins, Diggins, Akok and Johnson were unavailable?I agree, but I am just thinking where DH will go. Thats why I added the new guys.

Tyler Polley is going to become a SF this year. With Akok, Johnson, Sanogo and Whaley, the C-PF spots are locked down.
Polley-Martin-Jackson-Hawkins-Gaffney battling for time at SG and SF.
Cole and Diggins at PG.
Eh, I think that's a fairly rigid way of looking at things. At least in my mind there is not a significant difference between the 2 and 3. Positionless basketball has been en vogue for some time. To me, an ideal lineup has an initiator/ball handler, 3 versatile wings, and someone to shore up the paint/protect the rim.None of Polley Martin or Jackson can play the 2. Maybe Jackson if his handle has improved a smidge. We have a major logjam at the 3.
Martin had a quote recently about playing more guard this year. I think Hurley is going to try him at the 2 to start the year, but hopefully he adjusts quickly when it doesn't work.None of Polley Martin or Jackson can play the 2.

You're right that the game as shifted towards positionless basketball and there's not a huge difference between 2-4, but I think you're approaching it from the wrong direction. Teams go positionless with 3 shooters interchangeable at the 2-4, not with three non-shooters at the 2-4. That's a much tougher lineup to make workEh, I think that's a fairly rigid way of looking at things. At least in my mind there is not a significant difference between the 2 and 3.

I think the players mentioned above all bring different qualities to the wing position and should be able to be mixed and matched with each other. Up to Hurley to experiment with lineups to find what's optimal. He may have had some struggles with game planning around a limited roster last year, but I have filill confidence in him
“Palpable buzz” is one of his go to phrases.I can hear him pronounce the word Palpable in that tweet
