The Boston Celtics What a team, but a very young team. Are all of you content with the team being, youngest case scanario as of now: PG: Delonte West SG: Tony Allen SF: Paul Peirce PF: Al Jefferson C: Kendrick Perkins That's the possible starting team, and I dono Ifv that's great. We'll probably have Raef over Perk and Davis Over Allen but, basicly I'm wondering If every team can be like the bulls, because I'm actually kinda afraid we might now have too much youth to be successful, I trust all the young players though, I just dono if they're ready, give me your take, guys
That won't be the starting lineup. It's more likely to look like this... PG: Delonte West SG: Paul Pierce SF: Ryan Gomes PF: Al Jefferson C: Raef LaFrentz However this lineup is subject to change for many reasons. Antoine Walker? If he's going to resign I do believe he'll start at least for the beginning of the season pending Al Jefferson's development. Paul Pierce, the biggest name that is frequently being discussed if SEVERAL trade rumors. So it's also very likely that you could see his name replaced with Ricky Davis or someone else from around the league if The Celtics trade for the same postion player. However the aforementioned lineup does raise some questions. These are very young guys. Jefferson and West are second years players and Gomes is just a 2nd Round Rookie. If Antoine Walker and Gary Payton leave, I think The Celtics have some SERIOUS leadership issues to tend to. If Walker and Payton don't resign, I think PIERCE must go in order to bring in a bonafide team leader.
I'd go with the same as King James: PG - Delonte West/Marcus Banks SG - Paul Pierce SF - Ryan Gomes PF - Al Jefferson C - Raef LaFrentz 6th Man - Ricky Davis Gomes is rather one of the most underrated players in this draft and I think he will get his chance to prove that he should have been a first round pick by starting for the Celtics. He will be an impact rookie and he will have his shot at rookie of the year. Another player that should get his chance to prove himself for the C's this year is Marcus Banks. He hasn't had much playing time in his pro career so far only 4 total starts in his two years. But he showed excellant defensive ability and is a big, strong, point guard.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting YoungGun:</div><div class="quote_post">What bout Green?</div> Green really isn't ready to start in the NBA just yet I don't think. Give him a year or two to develop under our guys and then he'll be ready to play alongside Al Jeff. Just think though: in five years we'll have West, Allen, Green, Gomes, Jefferson and Perkins. Money.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting H.ayes:</div><div class="quote_post">Just think though: in five years we'll have West, Allen, Green, Gomes, Jefferson and Perkins. Money.</div> Jury is still out on Kendrick Perkins. Of all the talented, potential ridden, young players we have on this roster, Ken Perk is the biggest question mark in my opinion. Marcus Banks, defense. If his offensive game and his decision making can develop than there's no doubt in my mind he'll be a solid NBA player for 10-12 years. Tony Allen, Al Jefferson, and Delonte West proved their worth and their potential last season with their quality contributions in limited minutes. However, Kendrick Perkins is still lurking on the bench as that young high school kid that hasn't gotten that break through quite yet. Superstar? Bust? Role Player? I honestly couldn't choose one way or the other, perhaps this season time will tell...
What about walker? and this is pretty good PG: Delonte West SG: Paul Pierce SF: Ryan Gomes PF: Al Jefferson C: Raef LaFrentz
