    (Assuming, as seems very likely, he's out for the forseeable future.)

    Obviously Webster, but it would be nice to see more of Cunningham. In fact, it would be nice to start Webster AND Cunningham, if only because I think we're being killed because they can afford to put Hill on Miller because of their starters' size advantage. Stick Martell at SG and tell him to stay out on Richardson NO MATTER WHAT, put Dante at SF and see who they can find to put on him. At this rate it's better to be beaten off the dribble than allow open threes.

    I'm totally available to play. At 5 foot 10, and 155 pounds, I believe I'm something the Suns wouldn't be expecting and maybe the Blazers can take advantage of that. I also stick out my elbows and knees on screens.

    It has to be Webster. Martell has shortcomings, but he's the best of what we have left.

    Probably Webster, but Cunningham should be getting more minutes than he has...

    Dante has shown the ability to hit that little midrange jumper, he gives 100% effort, good rebounding, solid defense. He should be getting ore minutes, quite frankly we need that little mid range jumper on offense....that is how bad it has gotten...err...Aldridge & Rudy have tanked\underperformed.

    Webster for sure, backed up by Cunningham ... at least we know those guys will play hard on D.
