Brainstorming: Starting SF for the TPE

A 6'4 SF?

No.

 

I really don't like his game tbh. Can't shoot, doesn't pass, doesnt defend.

 

Some of you people replying so rudely need to get a life. You know who you are.

(I haven't even tried to figure out green font on my phone)

 

I think it’s hard to judge role players on bad teams, would he better suited as a role player on a different team? Or is he just bad?

 

But you judge Tobias, just saying.. he's been in similarly awful situations.

IMO, there's a certain level of ineptitude that eliminates the situational ellimment and flat out shows a player as inept. If you're as bad as he is in those categories, a better team won't improve those to average.

 

Detroit and the clippers are no where close to the level of ineptitude as what Phoenix has been.
You’re probably right about warren though.

 

Pheonix had Detroit/LAC level success T l at the very start of Warrens career. And it's not like Booker hasn't been able to shine.

I actually paid attention to Warren when he was a star at NC State. He never showed anything more to me.

 

Fair enough, I think Booker is the epitome of ball hog with no defense, but I think that’s just part of playing the 2 I guess.

 

Adrian Dantly was 6’5” and did very well with the Jazz.

 

The problem with your thought, is that clearly
Anfernee Simons isn't small enough.

 

This should do the trick:



Simson, Simons, close enough.

BNM

 

How about a 6'4" SF who averaged (per 48 ) 36 pts; 4.8 reb; 3.4 asst; .649 eFG% with a PER of 29.9? And held his opponents to an eFG% of .373; 12.4 pts and a PER of 6.2??

[fun with statistics]

And what if he was already on the team???

 

We were successful with a Dame/CJ/Napier lineup. Simons is bigger than Napier

 

Yes, I think it can work, many switches in the backcourt, superior rim protector in Collins and a very good defender in Nurkic.

 

What about lineups where all three of those guys are considerably smaller and not much quicker?

I think this would work well against three quarters of the teams out there. The bigger elite teams will eat us alive. Thinking teams like phili and gsw.

The successful teams dont have the biggest badest bigmen but they do have larger wings and guards. I think we are building ourselves out of this trend but maybe a frw years too early. I think the young bigs coming into the game will change it back to small quick guards who can pass inside soon. But maybe not soon enough for us.
