Max-nuthin? He had 8 points, 9 boards, and 2 assists in 26 minutes. His defensive rebounding tonight was big. Not sure what else you want from him. Stuckey was solid. 8 points 5 assists. A couple rookie mistakes, and his shot appears to be busted, but more good than bad easily.

As for the rest of the bench. We need a shooter who can show up relatively consistently. Jarvis is great for about 3 games a month. Otherwise he hurts as much as he helps (if not more). I would still like to see AA play some SF. A Stuckey/Rip/AA lineup would workout much better than the Stuckey/AA/Prince (or hayes) lineups that Flip goes to when he's playing the rooks together. They're scrappier defensively, and Rip isn't a reluctant scorer like Tayshaun. While AA won't get hot like hayes occasionally can, he'll take better shots, and bring a lot more defensively. I don't think he's as streaky either.
