Since we are most likely not going to add more free agents, what do you think the starting lineups will look like? I'm hoping Jackson can come here and be a starter eventually. Opening night: PG - Rafer Alston SG - Morris Peterson SF - Jalen Rose PF - Chris Bosh C - Rafael Araujo Eventually: PG - Jose Calderon SG - Jalen Rose SF - Joey Graham PF - Charlie Villanueva C - Chris Bosh Hopefully CV3 can put on some muscle and be effective as a Center instead of putting Bosh at the 5.
Opening Night: C: Rafael Araujo PF: Chris Bosh SF: Jalen Rose SG: Morris Peterson PG: Rafer Alston Before Christmas: C: Rafael Araujo PF: Chris Bosh SF: Joey Graham SG: Morris Peterson PG: Rafer Alston After All-Star Break: C: Rafael Araujo / Charlie Villanueva PF: Chris Bosh SF: Joey Graham SG: Morris Peterson PG: Rafer Alston / Jose Calderon Villanueva weighed more prior to the draft, and I wouldn't doubt it if he put on another 10 lbs before the training camp. That puts him at about 245 - 250 lbs and that's better than Bosh's projected 240 lbs.
Yea, that's what I believe it would be. Maybe Alston might end the year as the PG, but so much can happen between now and then. The PF-C doesn't really matter to me in terms of who's starting at C between CV and Bosh because they will guard whoevers the best match for them at the 4 and 5. <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">I'm hoping Jackson can come here and be a starter eventually.</div> Hopefully when Rose is gone because if you see Jackson starting at the end of the year (without injuries to the roster), then that likely means Rose is on the decline. <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Villanueva weighed more prior to the draft, and I wouldn't doubt it if he put on another 10 lbs before the training camp.

I hope he doesn't lose some of the quickness to his great first step.

Maybe it's just the hair.. who knows But yea, Bosh didn't lose any of the quickness or his first step if what people who were at the game are saying are true. EDIT: According to some people who went to the game, Bosh can do a windmill now.
Bosh is definatly looking bigger, you can clearly see it that every off season he gets at least 10 lbs bigger. Plus he grew some hair! Start of the season: PG-Rafer Alston SG-Morris Peterson SF-Jalen Rose PF-Chris Bosh C-Rafael Arajuo Before Christmas PG-Rafer Alston SG-Morris Peterson SF-Jalen Rose PF-Chris Bosh C-Rafael Arajuo After All-star break PG-Jose Juan Barea SG- Morris Peterson SF- Jalen Rose PF- Chris Bosh C- Charlie Villanueva It also depends on how the Raptors do you know. If they'rea lready out of playoff contention before the allstar break, look to see them start their young guys instead of Rose, Alston Mo pete, etc.

Did I actually write that?! LMFAO The people I get mixed up with damn those Puerto Rican and Spanish names. LOL. You know I meant Calderon haha. Oh man.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting VinKanaddy:</div><div class="quote_post">You're gonna get burnt for that Mr.Wade! It's definitely a signature material and I call dibs!</div> Still not as funny as my sig.
Hey at least it wasn't SO BAD. Jose Juan Barea is a really good college basketball player at North Eastern, at least it's not some sort of make up name. Aw man, I'm gonna get toasted.

I remember him trying one on that Raptors open practice thing on TV, he missed, but he didn't put much effort into it. I can almost do a windmill on a regulation net, and I'm 5'11, I can do one with a smaller ball, so I wouldn't be surprised. Opening night: PG - Rafer Alston SG - Morris Peterson SF - Jalen Rose PF - Chris Bosh C - Rafael Araujo All-Star Break PG - Rafer Alston SG - Jalen Rose SF - Morris Peterson PF/C - Chris Bosh PF/C - Charlie Villanueva We'll play center by comittee.... End of season when playoffs don't look so hopeful: PG - Rafer Alston SG - Jalen Rose SF - Joey Graham PF/C - Chris Bosh PF/C - Charlie Villanueva

im 6'2" and i can windmill on a 10ft rim. If your 6'11" you can do a windmill by jumping 25"... Not Suprised. Opening Night pg-Rafer Alston sg-Morris Peterson sf-Jalen Rose pf-Chris Bosh C-Rafael Araujo All Star Break pg-Jose Calderon sg-Morris Peterson sf-Joey Graham pf/C-Chris Bosh pf/C-Charlie Villanueva
PG: Rafer Alston SG: Jalen Rose SF: Morris Peterson PF: Chris Bosh C: Charlie Villanueva I expect that lineup to be pretty consistent all throughout the year.
<u>Opening Night</u> PG - Rafer Alston SG - Jalen Rose SF - Morris Peterson PF - Chris Bosh C - Rafeal Araujo <u> Before Christmas</u> PG - Rafer Alston SG - Morris Peterson SF - Joey Graham PF - Chris Bosh C - Charlie Villanueva <u>All-star break</u> PG - Rafer Alston SG - Morris Peterson SF - Joey Graham PF - Chris Bosh C - Charlie Villanueva
