Dice coming off the bench will take alot of pressure off that unit to score, and give them veteran presence to settle them which they seem to need.
Great comeback game. |
I agree with point one. On Herrmann though, even though he looks good at times, he is quite slow. On Afflalo, yep, as much as Amir won this game, Afflalo was just about as important as he slammed the door on Redd scoring. (And ran breaks well and just generally played a very solid game.)
Now what to do about small forward spot? I still say the best guy to play there behind Prince is Amir. But then again, we want Amir to start at power forward. He really can't do both. The guy who I think should be there for us is Mejia. Too bad he signed with a team in Europe. If I were Joe, I would see if I could buy out his contract and get him back here. Why Mejia. Great rebounder. A better defender than Afflalo; a much stronger player who can also guard small forwards well. Mejia also is good enough to play point guard as far as ball handling skill. In all, he would be a lot like Tay in many ways (but little offense besides offensive rebound putbacks and then some at the line from driving in. To balance that, he is a better rebounder than Tay.)
I will post in the rotations thread to finish these thoughts out.
