Starting 5 next season?

[JimiCliff]

The most logical move is to start 2Pat, so that probably won't happen.

Scola is a vet....Scola is getting the NOD

[Cody73]

Honestly..... guys.



Could we see Biyombo start?


Now, I don't know much about the guy's offense, but I know he can't shoot. But depending on how well he plays off the ball, he might be the best fit for now.

Biyombo will best be served by playing 15 - 20 minutes a game SOME 4 mostly 5

[Scraptor]

JJ at the five?? Casey Smalls confirmed as greatest Raptor troll of all time.

What I would like to see:

JV, Scola, Carroll, DD, Lowry


What I see happening:

JV, Carroll, Ross, DD, Lowry

Why did you have to type that out...

Now i wont feel comfortable until tip-off and I see that not happening

it isnt important who starts but who finishes

Biyombo's offensive game is pratically inexistent. He can't shoot, can't even hold the ball for too long, and also not a good passer. He dunks, rebounds and defends. That's it.

Scola get the nod from coach. He love his vets and Scola is a really good defensive rebounder one of our weakness' last season. Also give another dimension on O. Will constantly knock down that 18 footer. I don't think their is a better player to run that hand off with Dd on this team.

[Kuh]

My only worry is: Can JJ rebound like a PF?

Well he was by far the highest rebounder of anyone last year who didn't play the 4/5.

JJ pulled down 9.0 rebounds per 48 minutes. PP did 9.6, Amir 11.1, Tyler 12.0, and JV 15.9.
So JJ's probably never going to match JV, but playing at the 4 instead of the 3 he can probably up his numbers a bit, and be about as good as whoever we had last year.

Start Scola and JV and every team in the league will go small against us.
This will cause Casey to go small in response, as he always does.
This will cause us to keep one of our best weapons in JV on the bench, as always.
This will cause us to all go crazy, as always.

I think we can survive rebounding wise. Offensively I just think Patterson is a better fit. More room for guards to drive, more space for JV PnR.

But if JJ finds his shot and rebounds well, then we will be a mismatch nightmare for other teams.

That's what she said

I just want to point out that I read this as... If James Johnson switches positions, learns how to shoot, and rebound better it would be a nightmare for teams, which to me sounds like, if James Johnson was Paul Millsap we would giving people nightmares.
