then what happens to Booker?

Not for the starting unit. But I think at times, especially when the other team is running a smaller lineup, this front court can be deadly.

[Thinking Skins]

It will either be NO or the Bobcats winning the lottery, I'd bet anything on that.

The Bobcats? I'm seeing NO all the way.

I like Mason. If we don't draft a two guard with our lotto pick, we should keep Mason. He can be a catalyst off the bench. The second line needs a confident long range shooter, someone who can come off screens and drain shots. The second line moves the ball about as well as the starters do.

I don't know. Booker's been playing well at the 4 all year, including taking on much bigger guys. I know Kevin's playing well lately, but I'd like to see it over a longer stretch before I'm willing to sit Booker for him. I think Kevin's doing a good job right now playing a hybrid 4/5 spot.

Booker's jump shot takes an age to finish but he looks really comfortable doing it and he nails it surprisingly frequently.

Cook Book!!!

Trevor Booker is no joke.

[stevemcqueen1]

I hate those kinds of fouls that Collison just pulled.

How do you guys feel about Booker being our starting 4 in the future? I really see him as the type of guy that can get a 6th man of the year award if we can find a stud PF and bring him off the bench. It would do wonders for our second unit.

That's David West for you. I've disliked him since his days at Xavier. And it's not just because he's a Xavier dude. I like Crawford.

Of the players currently in house, I like him best because he's shown the ability to hit a ranged jumpshot which will allow us to space the floor better.

If we're lucky enough to grab Unibrow/T-Rob, I would look to trade one of Booker/Seraphin/Vesely for better help on the wing.

He reminds me of Udonis Haslem....fits in anywhere.

Nene having a hard time finding looks on his shots against the taller Hibbert.

This is the stage where Wall needs to take over for a stretch. Offense is struggling, he needs to use his speed and get in the lane and make something happen.

[stevemcqueen1]

Wall is pretty good at this defense thing when he wants to be.

[Thinking Skins]

dag, that lead's down to 10. I don't want to see this one slip away.

The team needs to figure out what it wants to do with Vesely. Is he a SF or a PF? If we want to play him at PF, then you need to probably trade Booker if you draft T-Rob or Davis.

If he's a SF then you don't have to move anyone. Vesely replaces the Mo Evans/Ubiles spot at SF on the second line for the forseeable future.

Indy is too good a team not to go on a run. Figured it was coming at some point. We need to go ahead and clamp this thing down though.
