Projected Depth Charts

Re: Projected Depth Charts

Well a 17ppg avg means he can get it done. Last year was the only year he averaged under double figures. With enough touches Juwan can get it done.



Quit hating....

How many good teams has Juwan put up good numbers on?

The Wizards/Bullets.... horrible team.
The Nuggets.... he got them Carmelo.
The Magic.... he got them Dwight Howard.
The Rockets... great team, bad production.


The guy puts up big numbers in losses, and rarely does above average in wins.

Quite Frankly, Juwan is a below average NBA PF.

Re: Projected Depth Charts

Hawks are, as of right now, planning on starting

PG: Joe Johnson
SG: Josh Childress
SF: Josh Smith
PF: Al Harrington
C: Zaza Pachulia

Marvin Williams could work his way into that lineup and lot of people think Joe Johnson playing PG will fail quickly.

I'm one of those people. Though Joe can play point, he might not be effective enough to put wins in the column. I think this is a good time to just have a new position instead of point. I see a shooting point instead of a point guard. Joe can't create like that. He was a good player who could get off the ball. He also had four other great players who could make a team sweat. Just don't see that trade as being sensible at all still. Gotta prove something to me.

By the way, I'm pretty sure that Andres Nocioni will be coming off the bench after a few games cause Luol is our silent killer. That boy is a beast. He will be a great player if his hand keeps strong. Mark my words. Definitely see it more as Duhon, Kirk, Luol, Tyson, and Curry (if we resigned him??).

P.S.- Keep Juwan coming off the bench and the Rockets will go further this year. Sure can't wait to see Derek get off next to T-Mac. Man, I might just go with the Rockets....

Re: Projected Depth Charts

I cant see marbury, crawford, and richardson starting together. 2 many shooters that like to jack shots. The team in orlando have a respectable staring five. Dooling played well when he was with the heat. It should cut down on francis turning over the ball so much with him being at SG.

I think the Knicks are going to start Marbury and Richardson in the backcourt. It's the only way that the Nate Robinson pick make sense. Robinson is not a PG. Acquiring Richardson allows them to move Crawford to the bench. He and Nate Robinson will be the second unit. Crawford will be the PG offensively and Robinson will be the PG defensively. Now, I don't think Crawford is anymore of a PG than Robinson is. But I do think that this is the Knicks thought process behind bringing in Q and Nate.

Re: Projected Depth Charts

Juwan "could" kill at SF but he would get ate up defensively.

Look up the Bullets. He killed nothing at the 3 while Webber manned the PF spot.

Re: Projected Depth Charts

Take these with a grain of salt. I just posted them to start some discussion as I too can't wait for the NBA season to kick off. I'm really not sure if these arew accurate at all.

I thought there were lots of grumbles coming out of Miami about Walker not liking the fact he'll be coming off the bench this year? I figured Posey would give them more defensive balance on the floor, but has serious injury concerns... by the same token though, Wayne Simien has equal or worse injury concerns at the backup 4 unless they're going to play Zo there and at C like they did last year. This team has me so confused, and we still haven't found a backup point.

Re: Projected Depth Charts

I think it will look something like....

G- Jason Williams (34) l Dwayne Wade (14)
G- Dwayne Wade (24) l James Posey (4) l Matt Walsch [other role players] (20)
F- Antoine Walker (20) l James Posey (28)
F- Udonis Haslem (32) l Antoine Walker (16)
C- Shaq O'Neal (33) l Alonzo Mourning (10) l Michael Doleac (5)

Wayne Simien will factor into the PF position, and I believe Shandon Anderson returned to play swing man. Also, Gerald Fitch may very well make the team, but I'm not sure I'd want him to be my backup PG.

No offense but them guards will be worn out before 40 games with excessive playing. They definitely need to take a look at Jay Wil and see if he can bring some fire to their bench. Would definitely be worth a look honestly. Are there any good freed up points in the league that could fit in well besides Payton??

Oh guys like Simien, Walsch, Anderson, Doleac ect will get more minutes but they wont play every night.

The heat will be blowing a lot of teams out with their firepower and there 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th, ect guys will get some time. They'll also be situational player for certain matchups, but those above will be the guys getting the main PT.

Re: Projected Depth Charts

I recall reading on hoopshype or insidehoops that Denver are planning on playing Andre Miller at the 2 spot this year. That's why they went out and got Earl Watson. There's no question that Andre Miller can score. I think it will work out well.

Re: Projected Depth Charts

Luol Deng will start over nocioni and B. Gordon will still come off the bench

Re: Projected Depth Charts

Luol Deng will start over nocioni and B. Gordon will still come off the bench

I was just about to mention that. I like Nocioni BUT I like him coming off the bench. And I also think that Ben Gordon should come off the bench also. With these two guys coming off the bench it gives them and effective scorer and defender where few NBA benches can supply these type of players.

I though Duhon was pretty effective as a starter and did improve his jumper during the course of the season. However, he won't finish games unless he can provide consistancy on the offensive end. He starts off good then his offense drops during the course of the game. And the same BUT different problem with Gordon. Gordon starts off slow BUT finishes with a flurry.

That's why I think the starting guards should be Hinrich and Duhon. It ain't a sexy looking backcourt but it was effective for the Bulls last year. As the old saying goes, 'If it ain't broke, don't try to fix it.'
