from today's 'Zone: 2008-09 Starters 2007-08 PG – Harris PG - Kidd SG – Carter SG - Carter C – Boone/Lopez C - Collins PF – Jianlian PF - Krstic SF – Simmons SF - Jefferson Reserves Reserves PF – Najera F - Nachbar SF – Hayes F - Allen C/PF – Lopez/Boone C - Magloire PG – M. Williams PG - M. Williams SG – Douglas Roberts G - Wright F – Sean Williams/Swift/Anderson F - Boone G-F – Hassell G - Darrell Armstrong Inactives Inactive Mo Ager Sean Williams Anderson/Williams/Swift Kind of makes you wish the season was starting tomorrow--is there any hope?
Is Simmons really going to start?? Im new here and hope he can get heathier.. but starting position for Simmons on this team seems a bit strange...
Can Najera play 3?? or he is supposed to be on 3.... i think he can be a decent fit on 3 but a bit undersized on 4...

really doesn't matter much to me or probably the coach either if he starts. In fact doesn't matter much to Najera either. You see Coach Frank in his tenure has always like to use hybrids and different combinations especially on defense. He like to mix things up a bit. He like to go with small ball, big ball, zones and sometimes will go back to the orginal traditional style of play. So it doesn't really matter to me, its who he will be put in for to guard. defense will be his number one focus and thats what the nets will need from time to time with all the young players... , I think however he will come off the bench most of the time. The front line i think will be Lopez, Yi, and Simmons, with vc, and harris being the starters.. After that its all up to the injuries god, and training camp that will determine the rest of the rotation this year. oh yeah, go nets!!!

I think real speedy SF will not be his role, but average off the bench forwards will be. Now if the team is playing zone it really won't matter much. Man to man you probably want to keep him inside more, so a real outside SF might not be the right matchup. Now that being said, there is an opportunity here to do what the nets did with Kenyon Martin and KVH. They could have Najera play the 4 on offense and Ryan Anderson play the 3 on offense, while they switch on defense. Thus allowing Najera to get alot of offensive boards if Anderson was shooting alot from outside
Just saw a few clips of Ryan Anderson, don't know much about the guy and never heard of him... sorry i know i suck... but seems like he's got a decent stroke as well... 6'10 is a decent size too.. quite a few PF/SF on this team this season...
hey uneek... ya ryan has nice stroke... but its a FLAT SHOT... but hes my favorite rookie out of the 3 and yes we all know bout the logg jam at the forward spot

Ryan will get his minutes somewhere
