Honestly....I am really not concerned who plays point THIS YEAR...as long as they play D....I am more concerned with getting Gadzuric or somebody like him in here to rebound and play D....to me that is most important.
From what I seen of Stoudamire ....he is stronger ....better at finishing....better defensively....probably a little better shooter.
But I have not seen much of him.
Do you really believe that.....you can already see the improvement in Josh at the end of the year...his jumpshot got much better...I think he will develop just fine...but hey u may be right.
Actually, a lot of development took place with Chill & Smoove last year...especially Smoove's jumpshot..... without a natural PG...although I am not against looking at a natural PG in free agency...I really don't think it is as important RIGHT NOW as people make it out to be...I really think we need defensive toughness and rebounding inside ..Like Dalembert...Gadzuric...Jerome James..I think that is much more important than a natural PG....actually I think we need to develop our young players more defensively ....I think the offense will come more naturally.
"does every thing good but nothing great that is the equilvalent of a role player in the NBA. "
He does this at 19...I guess he won't improve at all...not with his very strong work ethic.
I guess we will have to see if it works...if Jerry West had made these same picks of Chill, Smoove, Marvin, Salim, and traded somebody who was going to leave anyway for Al...it would be just another example of his genius.
We really don't need to spend a bunch of money in free agency unless we see somebody we REALLY want...since our kids still have to grow...no need to try and get into a win now mode.
The thing is we don't have to have and all playstation team...where every postion is an all star...if 2, 3, 4 are the core of your team and are good enough to carry you then PG and Center can be good role players...so BK's thinking is if Marvin and a Josh are futre all stars...then you don't need Magic & Shaq at PG and C.
Detroit Has no respect for traditional postions either...they have a 6'7 center a combo guard at the point ...an undersized shooting guard...and a perimter playing 6'10 PF ...
That's the beauty about sports...we will see who knows what they are talking about in just a short while.....we should be hell in the summer league though!
