    ahhh that explains it. I deliberately avoid anything produced by JQ for reasons I'm sure ya'll can guess.

    With Brandon out, is there anyone on the board that would rather see Batum and Webster at the 2/3 (hopefully with Miller) than having, say, Blake or Rudy in at the 2 and Batum or Webster at the 4? Or is it a strict, "one-of-the-two-and-one-only will be in the game playing SF only" thing?

    I thought that Batum played a nice game with that long of a lay off. Batum is a keeper and a top rotation player. We really missed him and should be a lot better once he works himself back into game shape. Not sure how I feel about him playing the 4, but it would make Outlaw expendable.

    he's basically the same size as Webster and a half size smaller then Travis... who many posters contend is undersized guarding 4s. I like the idea of Martell or NB on 4s less then I like TO there... but of course next year brings the possibilities of both Freeman and Claver
