    I think Nurk and Collins will be awesome together. Collins is agile and can shoot. Nurk is a big, bad European center. Theyre both plus defenders. Why exactly would they not compliment each other?

    Exactly, I've been saying all along that the long term plan should be Collins starting at PF and Nurk at C.

    Chances are that is the long term plan. Maybe even short term plan, provided Collins just detonates. Not out of the realm of possibility, but (other than with dame) stotts is notoriously sheepish about pushing rooks. I kinda want him to try...

    How can you say they aren’t:) Logically I think they would both play better with a defensive minded counterpart

    I feel like Collins IS the defensive minded counterpart, just more dynamic than davis.

    I can can see that i guess, I would just hate seeing Collins defer shots to Nurk so that he can fling some wild shot up. I also think a Davis/Chief second unit would be brutal, neither should dribble more than 2 feet.

    Fair point. Davis and chief would be ugly, but those offensive rebounds would be great for cj.

    No no
    No.

    He is not fine where he is. He is 40 mill fine. That's too much fine.

    I love the kid.

    He reminds me of what I want my son to do:

    Get stronger, focus on defense and rebounding, and play with a sharp edge.

    No he wasn't. They called 3 HORRIBLE calls on him and he never was able to get a rhythm.

    You really be on that bullshit sometimes.

    You want SO BAD to be right about WABC that you keep stretching...
