WOW. Davidson is the answer at center...

[dvdbumpus]

But anyway they were champions at the end of the day. I'm sure Khalid had made valuable contributions.

Agreed. I definitely liked him when he played.

Khalid
Rip Hamilton
Jake Voskuhl


I liked the team they had. Many of their reserves were former starter seniors, and had even beaten Allan Iverson's Georgetown teams.

I'm excited about this guy.

We really don't need anything major for him. If he can just learn the game and be a playmaker on defense and the glass he'll fill a role we've really been missing the past few years with unathletic bigs like Primoz, Voskuhl, and Harrington.

If he suits up for 65 games and can put up decent stats for 10-12 minutes per game this will be a great pick.

I just hope McRoberts doesn't develop into the player I think he can be.... He could easily be a more athletic Luke Walton...

Rally my thoughts exactly.

At center, (and this may be a bad idea for consitency reasons but) I think a rotation of Jake, Primoz, Hollins, Davidson will suit us just fine.

Same thing with PF. i think we have a number of semi talented bigs and then Emeka. so rotating these guys will give us numerous looks and styles to run with to confuse opponents.

if we wanna go small, we can go hermann, dudley at PF and Oak at C.

we wanna bang go with Mek at PF and primoz, Jake, hollins, davidson at C.

If Davidson and Hollins shape up some more, I think our Center Position problems are solved. Stick Hollins to start, and Davidson to replace and put Okafor is his most comfortable position, Power Forward and i think we got ourselves a locked lineup.

Watching Hollins in Summer league I doubt he's ready to start going into the season I think our 4 and 5 will be Emeka and Primo with Hermann and Davidson backing them.

Well fortunately Bernie won't have Hollins rotting away this year at the end of the bench. I figure he'll get 15 minutes or so a night, depending on if he has the hot hand or night.

[Mustachio]

yeah i dont think hes ready to start right away.

but id be willing to give him even more than 15 even

10-20 minutes for Davidson
10-20 minutes for Hollins
15-25 minutes for Primoz

Then we can hinge this on if Voskuhl resigns. Then it would look like this:

10-15 minutes for Davidson
10-20 Minutes for Hollins
10-20 Minutes for Primoz
10-25 Minutes for Jake

[Mustachio]

good breakdown i think... i think that gives us really solid production. they will all be fresh and be giving us their best in their few minutes.

[rallydurham]

I really doubt we re-sign Voskuhl.

He wants a long term deal and I can't see why we'd be interested in wasting our cap space on someone so easily replaceable.

Okafor should get a decent amount of minutes at the center spot because we have so many wings that need playing time.

Brezec can hopefully give us a few more minutes this year since he basically took all of last season off. Expect Davidson/Hollins to pick up the rest of the minutes.

We'd be idiots to re-sign Voskuhl, it would just make it that much harder for us to land a quality big man in the next season or two if we added another long term unmovable contract.

I wouldn't expect someone to give him more than a 4 year, $4 million deal somewhere... ultimately, he'll probably regret opting out when he sees how little interest there is for a useless big man in a market where people are looking to shed salary rather than add it. I wouldn't even be shocked to see him sign a one year deal for the league minimum somewhere.
