Delfino v. Dupree

It looks like the last spot in the rotation will go to one of these two, who will (along with Mo Evans) spell Tay and Rip this year.

If you had to choose one of the two, which one would you go with and why?

I would pick Delfino

He's more of a change of pace Prince, which is what we want a wide options of styles and match ups. Dupree is a great player but he's redunant with Prince and Evens and such. I think hopefully we can take him and maybe Davis and trade them for another big man mid season...

my plan is to release Hunter, let him be a special assistant till mid season. then we dump the player we decide is the least needed, hopefully in a trade for draft picks or maybe a 2 for 1....

Alex Acker is on the bubble too. It may be the rook out the door, if Dup and delf look good in camp. I wonder if we can stash Ack for a year like we did Rickey Paulding.

my vote goes to Delfino.

i just think he's more talented than Dupree. Dupree may be more athletic, but i think that Delfino will be able to offer more. i remember when Delfino would often get a few assists in the little playing time he had last season.

Dup/ Delfino

They are very different players. We should keep both. Either get rid of Lindsay and bring him back later in the year... or leave Acker off. It is a tough choice, but Acker probably won't contribute in the clutch this year. If you can't leave off the last pick of the draft, who can you leave off?

I think Acker is the rook out. LH is still an asset to this team and JD will not get rid of him for obvious reasons. He's a miniature Ben and at this point our best small defender. Acker is full of promise, but with the configuration and depth of this team, that promise have to be put on hold. Delfino is coming back with a chip on his shoulder and according to the written reports, he's determine to prove his value.

Lindsey should stay. He'll be valuable against the Heat cause he'll make J Will turnover the ball even more. I say Dupree is better defensively, and Delfino is better offensively. This team will need offense more so Delfino will probably get the nod. I just think Dupree would do better on teams who are not as well defensively because he can help there.

The guy who went completely undrafted.

Dupree is a nice energy guy... but we saw last year that you don't get to play two energy guys at the same position (Ham and Dupree last year). You've already got Evans filling that spot this year.

Honestly, though, a guy like Acker is almost a dime a dozen - a combo guard with unproven potential. And I'd rather give up a guy like Acker than someone like Dupree who can make a difference on the court for a short period of time.

That's an interesting idea about Lindsay.

A week ago I was almost certain Dupree was the odd man out. Now I don't know what to think.

dupree/ Acker

The way I see it, I'd rather have insurance this year (Dupree) in case of injuries, than another guy who has potential, but need to develop (Acker). If we need to play Acker this year in an important game, then something has gone terribly wrong and we're screwed anyway. I also think that there is something to be said for rewarding a guy like Dupree who obviously worked his butt off to just make the team. And Jenkins and Ham can't fill that role this year.
