I wouldn't hype him up. Ariza needs to stay healthy, and Mbenga has not seen the floor recently.
When everyone gets heathy, our bench will consist of Jordan Farmar, Sasha Vujacic, Trevor Ariza, Vladamir Radmanovic, Ronny Turiaf, Dacos, and Luke Walton. We can go 12 man deep

I want to know why, every single Raptor fan is saying there bench is the best becouse they got Delph. THE GUY DIDNT GET PLAYING TIME IN DETROIT!!! You know what that means? We didnt even want him around, thats how good our bench is. And whoever said Detroit dont have a back up PG is crazy, the Pistons have Stucky who started for Billups against LA the other day, Aaron Affalo who is a good defender and Hunter is still on the team.

Some players just don't fit into particular teams, or particular coaches just don't get the most out of every type of player or personality.
I would have said the Nets, but since they dealt away Antoine Wright and Malik Allen, and elevated Marcus Williams to a starter, they aren't better than fifth or sixth.

You think we base our entire bench on Delfino? Man get your head out of your ass. We have 2 PG's who can start easy. The best 3 point shooter in the league, Delfino who is a very good player in our system and Rasho or Bargnani. Not to mention Graham who is on and off. We also have Hump, and Garbo who right now is injured, can be a great defensive player who can score. So don't tell me Delfino makes our bench and we are basing it on that. Stucky and Aaron are rookie bud. Ford and Delfino could easily have their way.

As far as offense-defense is concerned, the Celtics have to be up there now. C: P.J. Brown PF: Leon Powe / Glen Davis SF: James Posey SG: Tony Allen / Eddie House PG: Sam Cassell Then, of course, Scal puts us over the top.
If they're healthy, it's the Lakers. This is what they're bench would look like if they were healthy: Farmar Walton Space Cadet Ariza Mbenga Vujacic That's a damn potent bench right there, especially if you factor in how freaking hot Vujacic and Farmar have been recently, and how good both Space Cadet and Ariza were playing before they got hurt. I'm saying this, if they're at full strength, there is no bench with as much depth as the Lakers, nor is there a bench as good.

Amir Johnson and Jason Maxiell are great back ups at the 4. No one takes advantage of Maxiell because hes only 6'7, he has a retarded vertical and plays excellent defense. Amir is obviously still growing, but he has made huge steps this season. Stuckey is a solid backup who can actually score, and Afflalo is NBA-ready on the defensive end, he has alot of work to do on offense but it's almost better that way because we don't have any shots to give him. Stuckey/Hunter Afflalo/Dixon Hayes/Hermann Johnson/Maxiell Ratliff I'll take that over LA, SA, Cleveland, Chicago, Boston and any other bench in the NBA. <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Stucky and Aaron are rookie bud.
