    I cannot fathom the notion that Olshey is the one sniffing these guys out. He has scouts and analytics experts for that.

    What's amazing is how little Whiteside actually contributes to winning, despite his stats.

    I don't think a Smith, Ant, Nasir, Zeller, and RoCo is a depleted bench. But if you want to add more offense then you can still include a starter with the bench.

    I also think you need to build some chemistry with your best players, and IMO a Dame, CJ, Norm, Nurk, Nance is your best overall lineup unless you are playing the Lakers. Then you need to go bigger. But I would not decide on my starting lineup based on the possibility of meeting LA in the playoffs.

    Sounds like you are basing your lineup off a Terry Stotts offense. I am going off of what Chauncey is saying he wants to see with the offense. And that is more ball movement. So yeah I think having both Nurk and Nance setting screens and passing to 3 guards is a good idea.

    It's sad because this is the first time I truly believe that I could do what an "NBA player" is doing on an NBA court... Any of us could luck into 1 rebound in 31 minutes...

    The plan is to not have Dame and CJ dominate the ball, and Nance fits into that plan.

    I was actually thinking that I'd pay to see a Bones v Blevins matchup.

    Will you judge Zeller the same this season. Will his 9ppg and 6reb a game mean more to our success than Whitesides league leading numbers? I hope we will be able to even see, considering in his career he averages just 58 games a season. We’ll see.

    I'm a big Zeller fan, he looks like Woody Harleson, I hope he stays healthy

    Ah memories. I don't think I have ever seen a player who could put up such nice stats and have so little impact on the actual outcome of the game.

    And I'm pretty freakin old. I know i could get a rebound. I could have even passed the ball to someone who could make a shot i think?

    Well, if he didn't find the guy, he found the guy who found the guy. Or he found the guy who found the guy who found the guy.

    Regardless, Olshey's reign at GM has been characterized by these nifty little bargain bin treats.
