Gerald Wallace also proves to be Eddie Murphy's doppelganger...LMAO http://cheezburger.com/BRol/lolz/View/2961096448

gerald wallace proves that you don’t have to be a great shooter to be a very effective SF in the league.
wallace’s shot is here and there, very inconsistent. but he has lots of ways to put his mark on a game, and he does it very effectively.
like jj, wallace is also capable of swinging over to the 4 spot, but he is much more effective at the 3. he can defend some 4′s, but he will be dominated by the better 4′s. against most 3′s, however, he dominates them because of his strength. he literally just plays through them, because of his superior strength. when his shot is on, he is capable of scoring 40 points, but he can be a good SF even if he is not hitting his jumper on a particular night.
jj is capable of doing the same things. because of his superior size and length, he could probably dominate most SFs. and on those nights when his shot was on, he could have a big scoring night.
i don’t know what jj’s “natural” position is, but it is pretty clear that he’d perform best at the 3.

making the commitment to run the offense through monroe would cure lots of ills.
first, it would cut down on the ridiculous number of turnovers that the guards are making.
monroe is simply a better decisonmaker and while he will undoubtedly have turnovers, my guess is that he will take much better care of the ball.
most importantly, if he runs the offense, the other players will start to move a lot more. instead of standing around on the perimeter watching the guards, dribble and then shoot, they will start to make cuts and maybe even go backdoor every once in a while.
just another reason to wonder about frank.
he has the best passing big man in the league.
he has a group of guards who keep making horrible turnovers.
why would he even hesitate to turn the half-court playmaking duties over to the guy best suited to handle those duties: monroe?
what is the hold up?
it is not rocket science. they use monroe in that capacity often enough now. just make certain that he is the focus, rather than an occasional option.

I would be pleased with a big like a center(Drummond would be sweet) and a small forward that way we can get rid of Daye

Bynum turns it over alot and also the deficit increases when he is playing

It would be good if we can get 2 bigs from who you have named

well, Thomas Robinson is not really big, but he’s a beast

on a positive note, every loss is a step closer to
1. Andre Drummond
2. Anthony Davis
or
3. Jared Sullinger

Even if we fall lower than that there’e a lot of good bigs this year, that are actually big - Thomas Robinson, Arnett Moultrie, Cody Zeller, maybe even Meyers Leonard

the main problem is that Brandon Knight is playing scared to drive and get into the paint. Its taking away his options, so he’s throwing away bad passes. He just has to play through it and get better while Stuckey is injured. Bynum is playing courageous, and the team is doing much better with him at pg. But Bynum is limited passing and shooting. We have to get Stuckey back, but we have to use this time to get Knight driving fearlessly again. He is capable of being much quicker and dangerous than he is playing right now.

You know Prince isn’t going anywhere right? Not for a long long time. We have to make sure that after we draft Harrison Barnes that he has someone to sit behind for the entirety of his rookie contract.
