    yeah, but not throughout the game but in stretches of the game, they could be exposed during extended periods of the game.

    <div class="quote_poster">Quoting mrj18:</div><div class="quote_post">The reason why some shooting guards don't post up as much as they used to, is because they're not as many mismatches. When AI played as a SG He played players like T-Mac and many other players who were mostly 5 inches taller than him. They will provide many mismatches but, I guess maybe they should be given a shot to see how effective it can be.</div>
    Even with that, Eric Snow mostly guarded SG's and AI the PG's.

    But still it was a big disadvantage only on Eric Snow.

    If I was Rafer I would be upset too, I mean your playing against your home team and you get benched. I admit he didnt come off to a great start but somenights shots just dont fall for you, he could've played better if he got more minutes. But Palacio has played really well this season but I would take Rafer over him in a heartbeat.

    I think Palacio and Alston would work as a good energizer in short periods of time. They both complement each other, with Palacio driving and kicking out and Skip running the floor and shooting. It would force the defence to adjust to a different style but after a while it would leave us with a pretty small lineup.
