offensively Carroll isnt alot different from 2Pats. he cant dribble and the Raptors never cut. his usage wont be much different than 2Pats when he plays with the starters
Whether it's Ross, Patterson or Carroll, I think having just 1 dedicated 3pt threat in the starting lineup is insufficient, given the offensive reliance on dribble-penetration (Lowry & DeRozan) and post-ups (Valanciunas & Scola, if he were to start).
Last season Amir was often parked on the 3pt line, as a second long-range shooter, because there was at least the threat of him unleashing his 'summer 3' (I don't think teams ever really viewed him as a threat, but DC kept pounding the rock). With 2 ball-dominant guys and one emerging post-up threat, I think a couple off-ball 3pt threats would be the best compliment to round out the starting lineup. Hence my preference for Carroll and Patterson.
Why? Carroll's 3PT & an increased offensive load for Jonas allow the PF position to serve as a defensive lynchpin ... PP and Scola could develop a nice chemistry as a bench big unit.
The only way to bag a classy lady is to give her two tickets to the gun show... and see if she likes the goods.
Mods, can someone change this to "Line-Ups We May See?"
I just got one I wanna see: Joseph, DeRo, Ross, Carroll, Biyombo.

Until then, opinions are like assholes. Everyone has one and they most often stink
I have a feeling that a KL, DD, DC, JJ, JV lineup could be used at some point. That would be a great defensive lineup and not that bad on offense if DD has truly improved his 3 and JJ has really worked on banging down low at the 4
This is what I expect. Ugh. 64M for a guy that barely sees the floor in the fourth quarter. We will be right back where we have been the past 2 seasons.
