Walker Kessler Discussion: Rim Protector And Lob Threat

I actually think Mamu’s best spot is backup center and he’ll get 15-20 mins there with some additional time at backup PF.

 

could be. thus backup center is third string center (but again, still likely spot starter if/when kessler's injured).

still means we have a giant hole at forward (really sf, imo, as luka's minutes will now almost all be guarding the 4 spot).

 

I have no idea how this team can survive for 18 mpg without kessler right now - they are going to have trouble on the glass, and their defense looks to be really bad without him. I'm trying to run thru lineups in my head but you see obvious stress points. A team with a good sixth man scorer for example is going to time their lineups when Kessler is out and right now looks like a bunch of easy meat to attack.

grimes or bust right now?

 

right now i think the plan is to outscore people while kessler's on the bench. we probably have the personnel to do it.

 

I mean that's probably going to have to be the plan when he's on the court, too.




This roster has turnstile Chucky Atkins looking at it going

 

Kessler is probably 28-30 mins. So we should have 18-20 mins of backup C by Mamu and whatever third stringer we get.

A lot changes if we have a defensive wing. Just get me Spencer jones to man the whole defensive line

 

You've gone all in on offense now huh?

 

As a stretch 5, because he's not a shot blocker.
