May 16, 200719 yr Stevenson is a stick, but you have to use what you have. Stevenson is way better than Carter, IMO, so at this point you start 2 PF's at the 4 and 5 spot. Don't worry, Carter will be a factor and get some playing time as will the Williams kid. With Patterson now a CAT, all we need out of the 5 spot is a good, solid defender (Stevenson is an excellent shot blocker) and someone who can go up and pull down 6 or 7 rebounds per game.
May 16, 200719 yr This may sound crazy, but I think that Markie Krebs may be the best shooter on the team. The question is is he quick enough to play at that level. He'll have to be lights out in preseason, but he can shoot. I know Markie and he is a great guy and a fine player but he won't see the floor this year.
May 16, 200719 yr Jasper does not need to start. Meeks starts over him any day. Hopefully Billy G. sees that b/c Tubby missed the boat there. I like Jasper's height as a forward not a point guard even though he was brought in as a guard.
May 16, 200719 yr Bradley Meeks Crawford Patterson/Stewart Stevenson/Carter The 4 and 5 spots are open at this point. Those spots still need to be earned.
May 16, 200719 yr I'd start: Bradley Meeks Crawford Patterson Carter Off the bench: Jasper Legion Harris Stewart Stevenson I agree, and I see Legion getting some good minutes this year.
May 17, 200719 yr We should start Meeks over Jasper. Jasper is good buts he is not the scoring threat that Meeks is, once his shot devolops he will be a great player.
May 17, 200719 yr Call me crazy but this is what you might see. Pg Jasper Sg Bradley SF Meeks PF Crafword C Patterson It would be more up and down and an exciting brand of basketball, sort of like what UT has down in Knoxville.
May 17, 200719 yr PG: Ramel Bradley - Derrick Jasper - Micheal Porter SG: Jodie Meeks - Alex Legion - Mark Krebs SF: Joe Crawford - Ramon Harris - Dwight Perry PF: Perry Stevenson - A.J. Stewart - Mark Coury C: Patrick Patterson - Jared Carter - Mike Williams Expecting a "Phoenix Suns offense"? If so great:thumb:

Crawford certainly has the strength, and he could draw a lot of PF's further outside. This could also eliminate several bad shots. I like it :thumb:

May 17, 200719 yr Bradley Meeks Crawford Patterson Carter I believe that will be the starting lineup to start the year. I also believe that when its all said and done Stevenson will play more minutes than Carter, but Carter will be the starter. This team still has a long way to go before really being good. I think they need to be a team that will run, not just because its what the fans want, but out of necessity. Players on the team next year like Jasper, Meeks, Bradley, Stevenson, and even Stewart are much better in an uptempo game.
May 17, 200719 yr Legion should get some big playing time, and maybe even start some games. He was ranked 45th in the country by rivals.com, and 12th for shooting guards. Hes a four star recruit, he averaged 19.6 points a game, 5.7 rebounds, 2.1 assists, and 1.8 steals a game, for one of the best high schools in the country. Another good thing, he was a 85 percent free throw shooter. Legion should get some good playing time, and, IMO should start some games.
May 17, 200719 yr Porter is the best deep shooter on the team, and BCG places a high value on those type players. I think he'll see about 15 minutes a game... I disagree with this one, Meeks is the best of the returners from downtown.
May 17, 200719 yr Bradley Meeks Crawford Patterson Carter I like this starting 5, and I honestly wouldn't care to see Legion step in right away in place of Bradley, who isn't a true PG anyway. G - Legion or Bradley G - Meeks F - Crawford F - Patterson C- Carter But if you want to get up and down the floor in a hurry, go with this lineup: G- Bradley G - Meeks F- Legion F - Crawford C- Patterson
