    Williams to start/ Prince on bench

    What do we think of the idea that Williams should start in stead of Prince i personally think Williams should start on. He would help offensively.

    Simple answer

    NO

    Williamson is better as a spark off the bench,him and Atkins give the team some good offense when they enter the game.No need to ruin the chemistry in that area.Prince is also playing very well this season, why should he move to the bench when the whole focus this season is to start Prince and let him show everyone his all-round skills.He is one of the main reason why Carmelo Anthony is not in a Pistons jersey this year.

    i agree with allnet.

    why ruin team chemistry right now? their 9 game winning streak should prove that they don't need to tinker with the line up right now.

    Prince is playing very well this season. He deserves to start.

    Prince plays better defense than Williamson. Corliss gets about one three boards per game off the bench. Starting, he might get more, but I doubt it. Tayshaun deserves the starting spot. He is solid on both offense and defense, and he'll be starting at 3 for a long time.

    Wow. If that move happend then I think that Larry Brown must be high or something. No way. Tayshaun is much more athletic, and quick then Corliss. He blocks shots, throws dimes, and gets plenty boards, something thay Corliss is not doing very well. Corliss might put up like 2-5 points more if given the chance, but know that Tay can score alot of points too on any given night. No way that would ever happen.

    I love Williamson and all, he's good and all, an especially hard worker but in my honest opinion, he's like Lue or Boykins. They work better as support and off the bench, Prince is great on both ends and has well earned the spot he has right now.

    As everybody else has said, no. I prefer Prince starting because of his versatility. Also, I like having Corliss come off the bench because he can provide a spark and creates some mismatches when he plays against other bench players.

    Corliss has been playing well, Prince has been playing well. In face, the whole team has been playing well and until we have a horrible stretch, I wouldn't change the lineup/rotation.

    All i gotta say is no way! Tayshaun deserves it and Corliss is known as one of the best 6th men! Why would u want that to change?
