Message: [QUOTE="kobebeanbryant, post: 4198707, member: 508"] Gaffney plays well when there are open driving lanes and he doesn’t have strong ball pressure that exposes his weak composure/handle. So it would naturally make sense for him to be in when Sanogo is out and not clogging the lane. He would also benefit from another ball handler as a pressure relief. Sanogo needs shooters to help space the floor. Polley and to a lesser extent Hawkins need someone to create shots for them. Can take advantage of Sanogo’s gravity here. Jackson needs a defined role or else he will continue to nuke the lineups he is in. With our current lake of ball handlers/playmakers I like him as a point forward. Let AJ initiate the offense, but defend the wing: [LIST] [*]Jackson [*]Cole [*]Hawkins [*]Martin [*]Sanogo [/LIST] Sub Polley/Akok for Jackson for better shooting: [LIST] [*]Cole [*]Hawkins [*]Martin [*]Polley/Akok [*]Sanogo [/LIST] Bring in slashers when Sanogo is out to take advantage of the open lane: [LIST] [*]Gaffney [*]Cole [*]Jackson [*]Martin [*]Whaley [/LIST] Multiple ball handlers (Gaff/Jax/Martin) with Cole out: [LIST] [*]Gaffney [*]Hawkins [*]Jackson [*]Martin [*]Sanogo [/LIST] Obviously would need deeper thought, but there are core groupings of players that have obvious synergies that need to be taken advantage of. And others with redundant skills that should be on the court together as little as possible… [/QUOTE]
