    Bledsoe can play a few minutes at SF, so if you play mostly Dame, CJ and him in the backcourt they could all get good playing time.
    As for Phoenix, they have a lot of talent in the backcourt and not much in the forward positions, this would be a good trade for them

    I know we had Aminu at PF to start last season, but I don't think he will this season, IMO he is our perfect sub at the 3 who can play some at the 4 if we need to go small ball. Nurkic vastly changes how the team plays compared to when Aminu was starting with Plumlee.

    I think this team will go Dame/CJ/Hark and Nurkic at the 5 then the 4 will initially be Swanigan,

    These are the kinds of statements that cause people to disrespect your basketball opinions.

    Well, Blazer4ever does seem to like the small ball ;)

    Since the "F" key is right next to the "G" key, I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt that he meant "SG" not "SF".

    Even then, Bledsoe is only like 6'1" so....

    :cheers:

    Zach's arms actually look more defined than I thought. When you see him with the longer sleeves he looks smaller.....

    He's bulky, he could play a few minutes per game at SF in a smaller lineup. and i thin he's bigger than 6'1

    Well then--if you think he's bigger than 6'1", why should we believe the measurements? I mean, look at how he towers over other NBA PGs...

    Yes but if we play Dame, CJ and him together then he'd be the SF wouldn't he?

    Could be a great lineup though, I'd have Meyers at Center and Aminu at PF and have them play on the perimeter on offense

    Yes, they'd better score a 3 each time down the court, because they're giving up a layup on the other side

    Ok so Dame, CJ, Bledsoe, Caleb and Nurkic, and most of the time there'd be just 2 of the 3

    Why do you have to always be opposition, Bledsoe may not be tall but he's twice the size of CJ, he could play some minutes at SF, not saying it should be his main position

    Briscoe at SF is a recipe for disaster. Height doesn't matter, but his wing span and standing reach would be brutal on defense against NBA SF's

    Briscoe is a PG, I was talking in reference to my previous post suggesting a hypothetic trade idea to bring Eric Bledsoe

    Briscoe literally has a better chance at SF than Bledsoe does.
