sammybuckeye13Participant– There is no way Sessions is starting at the 2. He shot 15 threes in 82 games last year. He just runs the point.
– If a team starts Jarrett Jack and Sonny Weems for an entire year they will not win more than 10 games.
– Just my opinion, I think Wes Johnson would start over Brewer.
– John Hollinger says Dalembert will start for the Kings, and even if he didn’t I think Carl Landry would start over Thompson.

ChewyParticipant– Starting Barbosa at the 2?
-Wyane Ellington isnt even in the top 9 rotation? I would start Webster but between him and Brewer it is easily debatable as to who should start.
-I like starting Hickson, but does Jamison have the legs to still play the 3 consistantly?
-Udrih will guard pg’s, but who will be handling the ball more; him or Tyreke? (Seriously, because I didn’t see a single Kings game last year haha)
– I know Jack is solid, but is he better than Calderon?

BasketBalAllanParticipantKings starting lineup will probably look like this.
PG: Beno Udrih (because he will be guarding the other teams pg, most likely)
SG: Tyreke Evans (even though he will not be playing opening night… Garcia or Greene will start instead)
SF: Donte Greene / Omri Casspi (even I have no idea on this one…)
PF: Carl Landry (because he fits better with Dalembert than Thompson, and he started last year.)
C: Dalembert (because it makes more sense to start Cousins off at least sort of gradually.)The lineup I really want to see from the Kings this year is:
PG: Tyreke Evans
SG: Francisco Garcia
SF: Donte Greene
PF: Jason Thompson
C: Demarcus Cousins
Not their best lineup but I would be interested to see how they play together.0 - Posted on: Sun, 09/12/2010 - 8:01am #399468

RUDEBOY_ParticipantKings coach has already stated that Cousins is a center..
How about this trade?
Dalembert & Casspi for Marvin Williams & Jamaal Crawford?

Cardinal_FanParticipantI think the Corey Brewer expirement is over, Wesley Johnson starts. I would start Barbosa an either or Derozan or Weems at the 3 spot. Anthony Parker will probably start at the 2 spot for Cleveland.

I think Johnson will start at the two and Brewer at the three. Beasley will backup Love.

HitsterParticipantDalambert is likely to be Kings starting C on opening night but Cousins will be pushing for the role if he develops as the Kings hope.
Wesley Johnson was drafted for being NBA ready and will surely start at SG or SF with Beasley probably starting at SF if Johnson plays SG. Darko and Love should be T-Wolves starting frontcourt.

Cardinal_FanParticipantNot saying Brewer isn’t good or still wont have a decent career, but i dont think he showed any real consistency. I think Wesely Johnson will be more of an impact player, i also think even as a rookie his game is more mature than Brewers.

OhCanada-ParticipantJust to clear up some expectations you guys have of the Raps. sorry but Barbosa wont be starting. i can gaurentee he wont. He will be a bench guy for sure, Toronto will lok to move Calderon, Klieza will be heavy in therotation and maybe a consideration to start. I dont think anyone would argue that Klieza is a better all around player than Sonny Weems but I see the Raptors rotation being.
PG-Jack, Calderon, Barbosa
SG-Derozan, Barbosa, Weems
SF-Weems, Kleiza, Derozan
PF- Johnson, Davis, Klieza
C- Bargnani, Johnson, DavisBargnani will strictly play the C and Toronto will be the worst rebounding team in the league although one of the best sht blocking teams.

He will be a bench guy for sure, Toronto will lok to move Calderon, Klieza will be heavy in therotation and maybe a consideration to start. I dont think anyone would argue that Klieza is a better all around player than Sonny Weems but I see the Raptors rotation being.
PG-Jack, Calderon, Barbosa
SG-Derozan, Barbosa, Weems
SF-Weems, Kleiza, Derozan
PF- Johnson, Davis, Klieza
C- Bargnani, Johnson, DavisBargnani will strictly play the C and Toronto will be the worst rebounding team in the league although one of the best sht blocking teams.

OhCanada-ParticipantI just re-read my last post and the grammar is horrible. I mean noon would say Weems is better then Klieza. Klieza is obviously better, and could have a vey good breakout type Season.

durantula83ParticipantPG: Johnny Flynn (The starting nod is his to lose, I don’t expect him to though. I don’t see his production go up alot.)
SG: Corey Brewer (He had the season last year we all knew he was capable of. The Wolves’ best defender last year.)
SF: Michael Beasley (Will probably play alot at the 4, as there’s alot of talent at the 2 and 3 this year.)
PF: Kevin Love (Will shift to the 5 when Darko’s out of the game. With Jefferson out of the way he will be better this year.)
C: Darko Milicic (Will start, management has alot of confidence in him. He put up decent numbers, 8 and 5.5 in 25 minutes after coming over from New York. If he’d be more confident in his abilities then I think there is room to improve some more.)Luke Ridnour (Some needed veteran leadership, he should help out the youngsters alot.)
Martell Webster (Has 2 years experience more than Brewer and is 9 months younger. He will push Brewer to the limit and might even start. Instantly the best wing shooter on the team, barely shoots over 40% though.)
Wesley Johnson (A good player, will earn some minutes. How many will depend on how good he will already be.)
Anthony Tolliver (Made most of his time with the Warriors, averaged 12 and 7 there. The first big man off the bench.)
Nikola Pekovic
Wayne Ellington (Wellington came along at the end of last year, he won’t see 18 mpg this year though.)
Kosta Koufos (Only true center on the team, I’m not very high on him.)0 - Posted on: Sun, 09/12/2010 - 1:20pm #399738

durantula83ParticipantPG: Beno Udrih (Solid guard, has improved alot since his San Antonio days.)
SG: Tyreke Evans (Franchise player, nuff said.)
SF: Omri Casspi (Excellent young player with a big heart and alot of passion for the game.)
PF: Carl Landry (Comparable to Boozer, adept inside scoring, below average rebounder but defends better than Boozer though.)
C: Jason Thompson (Won’t give up his starting nod without a fight. Cousins will take over though, could be as soon as January.)Demarcus Cousins (If the Kings can keep him and Evans together then they are set for the future.)
Samuel Dalembert (Last year of his contract, very good rebounder and weakside shotblocker.)
Donte Greene (Has his moments last year, looked like he was about to break out some games. Other games he wasn’t focused and looked awful.)
Francisco Garcia (Nice long stroke, a poor man’s Peja.)
Pooh Jeter (Exciting player, reminds me somewhat of a taller Nate Robinson.)
Hassan Whiteside (A project, alot of raw ability and potential, probably won’t see much playing time next season
Antoine Wright (A solid bench player, nothing spectacular, has his moments.)0 - Posted on: Sun, 09/12/2010 - 1:47pm #399756

OhCanada-ParticipantI changed my mind. I think Weems will have to earn the starting spot over Klieza especially since it is his contract year.
Cavs will have Jamison off the bench.
Beasley will start.

durantula83ParticipantPG: Darren Collison (He’ll do great, people might expect too much from him too soon.)
SG: Mike Dunleavy Jr. (Contract year, he only made 1 ppg for every mil he made last year Overpaid bigtime!)
SF: Danny Granger (Excellent player, not elite level yet. Still has to prove he’s worthy of being the franchise player, starting by taking his team to the playoffs.
PF: Josh McRoberts (Yikes! If you have to start this guy then you know you’re thin up front.)
C: Roy Hibbert (Improved all areas of his game, has shown flashes of dominance. I expect him to improve more this year.)TJ Ford (Last year of his contract, FINALLY! Yo TJ, I hear alot of good things about China these days…)
Paul George (Great talent, in time a potential All Star. Could become the franchise player over Granger.)
Dahntay Jones (Useful role player.)
James Posey (Veteran with a great long stroke, and one hell of a clutch shooter.)
Tyler Hansbrough (I expect decent numbers from him, if he’s fit he should start over McRoberts.)
Jeff Foster (I hope he gets back to full strength, he ain’t getting any younger. One of the best rebounders and defenders in the league.)
AJ Price (Young, promising player. As soon as Ford’s out the door, he will see more backup minutes.)Lance Stephenson: One hell of a talented player, a natural scorer with great ballhandling.
PS: Does anyone know how long this kid will remain banned from Conseco Fieldhouse? This is some bullshit policy, either cut him, trade him, fine him or give him a fit disciplinary punishment.

durantula83ParticipantWe’re almost on the same page.
I think the Cavs will start Jamison, they might make Hickson the starter as soon as they realize the season is lost. Either way Hickson will get alot of minutes.
With the Wolves it could be either Webster or Brewer.
With Sac-Town, I think they’ll start the season with Thompson in the middle. Last season when Hawes was injured they played Landry and Thompson together. I think they’ll do just that again now until Cousins steps in for good.
I think you’re right about the Pacers, they’ll probably start with Granger at the 4. It makes more sense than starting McRobers or Hansbrough, unless one of these guys has immensely improved of course.

sc0rebuckets11Participanti think azibuike will start at the 2, if he’s healthy at the start of training camp. I’m not sure if Amar’e is going to start at the 5 ( I think he should ) .
Sessions, should start @ the 2 in cleveland. Honestly, I wouldn’t even pay attention to the positions if he does, because sessions could end up defending the elite pg’s .. and mo could pay a little off guard since he’s the better shooter and scorer.
kleiza is set to start @ the 3 in toronto. derozan could play some minutes at the 3, because i think barbosa is gonna eat some good minutes at the 2.
outlaw is set to start @ the 3 in new jersey (i think it was in his contract) . I think morrow will start @ the 2, because he can space the field better, and devin harris is still not that good of a perimeter shooter. t-will will still get starters’ minutes (at the 2 and 3), and will be a primary ball handler, because when farmar checks in, he can knock down some 3’s, and spread the floor.
beasley won’t start in minnesota, and love will end up playing the 5 for some minutes. i think wes & brewer will start at the wings. i don’t expect wes to play big minutes, because brewer will stay on the floor because of his defense, and webster can stretch the field.. like wes johnson.
i dont think bron will play primarily at the 1.
ryan gomes will start @ the 3 for the clippers. griffin has the 4 locked down.

JNixonParticipantBeasley will probably play more at the PF than at SF anyway. I think Minnesota would be wise to use Beasley as the 6th man. I don’t really think it would matter if he starts, because he’d have much more of an impact than Johnson, Brewer, or whoever else starts at SF. He’d probably only play SF if Coach Rambis likes a particular matchup I’d think. It really doesn’t have to do with being better than another guy who starts in that situation to me
