    Default Silas wants to shake it up a bit

    http://www.charlotteobserver.com/201...all-in-ot.html
    reading through this it's clear to see that Silas really feels he's seen enough from Kemba and Byron for them to warrant increased minutes what do you guys think the new look rotation will look like?

    I think Silas' rotations so far as been nearing FHB territory, but hey...I'm all about giving the young guys more burn. So long as he doesn't just cut out guys like White's minutes it can't get much worse.

    Still think he needs to play Smack more.

    we could use some more overtime games to get everybody more minutes...

    wooh! unconventional lineups! why the heck not/we have no choice with brown as our only real small forward and matt as our backup shooting guard.

    Really happy to see how Mullens has played, but Smack could use more minutes (i'm sure he'll get them eventually) and Tyrus at small forward is fun, but really we NEED to see if he can play power forward at some point... stupid logjam.

    Needs to be repeated over and over
    As long as NC has a team, I'm going to cheer for it

    Smack needs more minutes period. He comes in hustles his ass off, constantly gets open under the basket, but no one ever passes it to him, runs the floor, defends. We need to cut Diaw, he's not helping us now or in the long term, develop the future baby.
    captaincrunk:
    I think Hendo is the next MJ. Clearly already a better player than MJ was at this point in his career. Maybe better than SJack.We'll have to see but, this guy looks like 2nd GOAT (behind Allen Iverson) material to me

    I'm going to go with two lineups - one is for starters, and one is the "ideal" lineup based on how everyone has played so far in my opinion:

    Starting Lineup

    PG - DJ
    SG - Hendo
    SF - White
    PF - Diaw
    C- Mullens

    We'd be terrible defensively but all those positions can score. Now for my "ideal" lineup:

    Ideal Lineup

    G - DJ
    G- Kemba
    G- Hendo
    PF - White/Bismack
    C- Mullens/Diaw

    Going with a 3 guard lineup here, thinking we have to start playing like Golden State used to under Nelson. Hell we don't play defense anyways....why not? Zone it up and go....space the floor offensively and run a ton of motion sets. It at least would be fun to watch, lol.

    Notice Tyrus isn't in either one of these....I just don't see where he's going to get a lot better than he is now. He's an athletic 4, not a 3, and he can't create offensively. He will never become our poor man's Amare Stoudamire like some envision him, he is what he is. If I was Silas, he'd be a great 6th or 7th guy off the bench until he shows he's better than DJ White, which I don't think he is.

    I keep saying this, but once Reggie Williams comes back, you pro-tank guys might be in trouble. Putting a dangerous shooter in with DJ and Kemba if they can continue to penetrate is going to bring back memories of Dell Curry hitting 3's on kickouts from Muggsy Bogues, lol.....once can reminicse....
