PG: West SG: Finley SF: Pietrus PF: Martin C: Leonard That bench, while old, would destroy our current one... If Meyers Leonard could somehow play against himself.
I don't even think you'd need to go that far... Adding Finley and Pietrus would drastically change our bench. Price, Finley, Pietrus, and Jeffries are plenty good.
I loved Finley's game back in the 90's I remember when he was rumored to be traded to Portland a couple times.
Because we don't want to see all our starters go down with injuries because Stotts literally can't stomach playing any of our current bench players.
Well, I don't think he really moves the needle. I just think he'd be a good vet to bring in to mentor our young guys, and hopefully he can log a few minutes so our starters don't break down halfway through the season.
I just wish I knew if Stotts thinks some of our bench players WILL contribute and is just taking the long view or if he's really written them off. If it's the former, then I can stand front office inaction. If it's the latter, then I really wish we'd have a trade or sign someone. But then again, right now I can't see anyone taking our bench players, and certainly not Babbitt and Nolan, the ones I'm most keen to see go.
I think Freeland can play. I know his stats don't back it up, but I don't think he's gotten enough burn to really show if he can or not.
Co-sign This. He has played some substantial shifts where he has done absolutely nothing. From where I stand, he's our worst player. I guess he can only improve.
I'm still not sold that our 6-15 can beat our Idaho team. Ben @ BlazersEdge says he thinks the bench would win, but "it wouldn't be a blowout"
Well, tbh, "absolutely nothing" is better than "starting 3 fastbreaks for the other team in 4 possessions."
