    Check my edit!

    I actually think they might be thinking of using CJ as the backup PG

    If Frazier had a jump shot, I think MM said this, but dude would be starting somewhere. He has the confidence.

    Someone earlier said al Jefferson, which I think is interesting. I've also seen a little JO.

    Weird. Every thing I've read on him calls him an athlete.

    I think Dame/Frazier(or Sergio)/Henderson and CJ will get all the minutes at guard. Crabbe will compete for a spot at SF, probably with Harkless. Stotts may also be really tempted to play Kaman if he's still on the roster, which will probably bump Vonleh out of the rotation.

    I think we're gonna be pleased with Ed Davis in the starting lineup. Dude is a straight up hustla

    I really think I would start Crabbe at the two. He plays good defense, he has good size, and he can shoot. I'm not excited about Hendo, and if we're going youth movement I think that Crabbe is the better choice.

    In terms of what? He's very fluid. Pat for example, has a higher vertical jump, but you can clearly see who the better athelete is.

    If you go big at SF, (on occasion) maybe we can go small at SG. I would love to see a line up of :
    Dame ,Cj, Vonleh, Plumlee and Meyers?

    I totally agree. But I don't think he will end up as good as Vonleh. The question is, when will Vonleh earn the nod and how will Davis take it. Most likely Davis this year, then trade him and for a nice piece and move Vonleh in next year.

    Henderson is much better at this point, he attacks the rim, and plays with a lot of energy and hustle. He's in a contract year, so we may as well use him up.

    I think Vonleh is at least a year or two away from being an NBA starter. He's just going to be too raw against established players, most of his growth will be in Practice and then some game time. I think the toughness of Davis would be good for Vonleh.

    I do think that with Aminu's defensive ability, we will be able to play extended minutes with both CJ and Dame at the same time.
    Dame
    CJ
    Aminu
    Vonleh or Davis
    Plumlee

    Henderson is 27. Look at his stats last year (snooze fest.)
