im confused.. would shelden williams plauy center better than jj or shawne...it has more to do with misuse of players... i gave you too bigs.. one we would of had.. and one will still have... sheldan wasnt played because he was a zero on offense.. but so is JJ...]
Sheldon Williams was an unproven non-rotation player who had to EARN minutes. He has now EARNED minutes is playing in our ROTATION. What is confusing?
Yes, you gave 2 bigs. Earl Barron who is not on our ROSTER therefore countering your own initial attack on people who talk about the roster and Turiaf who gets as much playing time as his body dictates. MDA does not hesitate to play Turiaf when healthy.
You make the point about Sheldon and then counter it with the very real fact that MDA played JJ solely for for defense.
defense is not only bigs... ok... brewer would of been our best perimeter defender.. yes or no?.. u keep sayin big and we need a center.. when he never plays those type of bigs....
You are changing the subject. It is you who bolded the MDA quote and extrapolated an attack regarding size so stick to your own point or concede it was easily debunked and now you need to broaden the debate to salvage it.
Brewer
may have been our best perimeter defender(TD could have held that) if allowed the time at the expense of other players and the production of said player on both ends of the court. FYI, Brewer is averaging 7MPG on a lotto bound team who is dead last points allowed. Ask yourself why if he is so good and NBA ready that both Minnesota and Dallas found no use as of yet for him...
he prefer a shootin center like a barganin versus a bruiser like perkins....if he had his wish.. he forced into playin turiaf...but he would prefer to give him backup minutes.. when its clear that turiaf play helps us control the tempo...
I disagree and think MDA is smart enough (this article being further evidence) to know that with our current ROSTER we do not need an offensive center but rather a defender/rebounder. If you and I know it certainly a professional NBA head coach with a winning record and pedigree knows it...
just curious.. over the last 3 years.. who has he played at center???? that was actually a real center???.. turiaf is techincally a backup PF....im sure jerome jordan can contribute more than Jared
2 of those 3 years were rebuilding and Darko was never in our long term plans. He did play Barron last year. As to this year, MDA started the season with the ONLY other true center on the roster, Mozgov. Further Mozgov was our starting center when he was RELUCTANTLY traded for Melo.
BTW, you have no idea what Jerome Jordan can contribute and to pretend like you do or that MDA would willfully leave a better player in Europe rather than utilize him is nonsense.
