With Tay aging and fighting injuries and Jerebko young and improving, I think it's possible that Jerebko will eclipse Tay this year. I'm a "best players play" kind of guy, and I think Jerebko might become a better overall player than Tay this year. I could be wrong and will gladly eat some crow if I am ... but I think it's realistically possible. “I believe that there is absolutely no argument that could be made that Ben Wallace and Tayshaun Prince are not the best options to start at their respective positions…”

so starting line up of stuckey, rip, tmac, cv, wallace.

bench team of prince, bg, daye/jonas, jonas/maxiel, monroe
