well i hope soo... cuz i cant wait to see what these 3 rookies can do in a game and add to that our 6th pick of 2007 Yi i hope they blend well... and im seriously believing that a lot of teams are goin to underestimate us with our age... but i bet we can take a lot of teams by surprise... i really hope we make the playoffs... i miss the CAA playoff atmosphere... never got a taste of the IZOD playoff atmosphere yet :/ lets go nets! hmm i wonder when they are goin to come out with those 10 game or 7 game packages :/ im excited

nice nice ... well lets see what kind of offensive and defensive schemes frank draws up... hes prolly watchin video of Yi and the 3 rookies and see how he can use all their strenghts! he is a tape guru rite? (from what i heard)
Cutting Hassan for Magliore was ridiculous and I always stood behind that but it was clear Frank didn't know what to do with him so it's somewhat of a blessing for Hassan. While Frank did give him a chance I can't wholeheartedly say it was one for him to really capitalize on. He played great coming off the bench with our young second unit but instead of riding that he was catapulted into a starting lineup with a completely different dynamic where he was an ill fit. Starting him at the 3 was a poor move that ultimately doomed Hassan in Frank's eyes IMO. He was clearly a hustle off the bench type of player but for whatever reason they tried to ride out the starter experiment but the lack of success made it easy to overlook the positive things he did bring of the bench. He never really got off the bench after that and it sucks that they essentially quit using him instead of going back to what he was doing well. Like I said before I don't think Frank has any bias towards young players but that doesn't mean he always puts them in the right positions to succeed either as sometimes his improvisational lineups can be downright awful. Having a number of options is an Achilles heel of Franks as well and with so many, especially at the bigs, i'm very curious to see how he balances rotations and what kind of a shot he really gives everyone.

I think you will see a day 1 starting lineup of: PG - Harris SG - Carter SF - Simmons PF - Yi C - Boone I think your second unit looks something like: PG - Carter/Marcus williams SG - Douglass-Roberts SF - Nachbar(or whatever SF we get if he goes) PF - Kristic C - Lopez I think you will see Anderson start out with like 5 minutes per in garbage duty until he proves himself. then he might fight for some rotation time with kristic.
