    No Kaman please.

    3 man rotation at guard of Lillard/McCollum/Henderson

    Crabbe and Harkless at the 3

    Aminu/Vonleh at PF
    Plumlee/Davis at center.

    I played PF and Center in high school so the correct answer is me!

    Where do I get one of those 10 day contracts?

    If Alexander is ready to play...he gets the nod on my list with Vonleh..I'd love to see Henderson, Aminu, Alexander and Davis on the court together for defense at least once

    This team lacks depth as it is.

    I'd start Davis and call up Upshaw.

    Yeah... No... Crabbe is on the outs IMO.

    How does Alexander stretch the floor like Myers? I'm thinking that's the same problem as having Davis start.

    It doesn't because we don't have another PF with range except Aminu if he plays there..but I like Aminu and Henderson defensively...just have to use slashing and offensive rebounds...putbacks.

    Chris Kaman is the odd man out.

    Start Harkless at the 3 and slide Aminu to the 4. Bring both Henderson/Davis off the bench early in the 1st so we can see what a Dame/Henderson/Harkless/Aminu/Davis lineup can do.

    His absence - the defense is going to improve immensely.

    I've always seen AFA as a small ball four. I'd love to see the finishing five be something like
    Dame Cj, Hendo, AFA, and ED

    This a developmental season. It's 2005 all over again. Play Vonleh. Let him make mistakes.

    We are most definitely not 2005 again. Dame, CJ, Aminu, and Plumlee are all better than anyone on that team. Meyers is one of ,y favorite players in the league, but with preparation, I think we'll be fine. We're very deep in our frontcourt. I'm looking forward to more from Vonleh and Alexander. Also will be fun to see a little Kaman out there. This season is most definitely NOT lost.

    Cause in high school all you have to be is 6 feet tall if that to play a PF/C...you'd be a guard in the NBA if that

    Develop Vonleh by throwing him into the fire.
