Let's look at the #'s between Ed and Enes. Per 36 minutes: Player 1: 19.6 pts, 14.7 boards and .5 blocks Player 1: 11.6 pts, 17 boards and .8 blocks. Oh and most importantly: Player 1: 81% from the FT 3.4 fouls per 36 Player 2: 58% from the FT 5.5 fouls per 36 Player 1 is Kanter, player 2 is Davis. I don't think Ed's defense is worth 8 points and significantly better FT% in Kanter.
First, Aminu is our best PF at this stage so that's why he starts. As for Harkless, he has been starting mainly because it has been very recent that Layman has been playing well and is playing more minutes than Harkless recently. Hood just came on the team so his role is yet to be defined.
In terms of all the players on the buyout market he is is best player of them all and it's not even close cause most of the other buyout players are guys who prolly only have a couple more years in the league for most part. Does he have his warts sure he does ( defense not good ) specially this year where he is ranked as worst defensive center. However maybe getting out of NY and all the media coverage of his issue with his home country will revitalize him into the borderline all star he can play like at times. Also if anyone comes on and says he will take away minutes from Myers and this being a bad thing and i did see this on the Kanter article on B-Edge just don't. Only way a person could say this is if they are friends with Myers in real life or something like that cause he is just bad and lost on the court.
If you are really putting a defensive lineup out there, I'd sub Turner for Dame. That might piss off the natives, but for defense, Turner is better.
I’m thinking more of with a lead not just a possession. Gonna have Dame in there unless you are calling TO right after you get possession.
I'm pretty frickin happy about this....exactly what we needed...like Aldridge, Kanter will make teams pay for loading up on the guards way more than Chief, Mo or Zach would….I think he should start next to Nurk...he's going to open up the lanes for Dame and CJ like they have never had since Aldridge was here with Rolo
Aminu might be our best PF but that says alot... I actually don't mind Aminu, but that tandem isn't good, you get like one game every couple weeks where one of them gives you something on offense. They have had a huge deficiency at forward for a couple years though it hasn't been addressed. Now though that have finally got other options I think it's time to try them. Heck if you're determined to start Moe because of his feelings, bench Aminu and Play Collins or Layman.
