Ben McLemore to play at Small Foward???

[NBAGURU]

So if Monta Ellis does join the Kings and we don't go after a free agent SF.

Do we move McLemore at SF??? What happen to "DEFENSE"??

Kings Line-up:
PG - Vasquez/ I.T./ McCallum
SG - Ellis/ Thorton
SF - McLemore/ Salmons/ Outlaw
PF - Patterson/ Landry
C - Cousins/ Thompson

Traded: Jimmer & Hayes for future picks

 

[Darth Divac]

No.

 

[Dime Dropper]

He's not going to be playing at SF.

McLemore is half an inch shorter than Tyreke with a 3.5" smaller wingspan. That's not to say I'd put it past this front office to want to try it, just that it would be stupid.

Actually, during the Evans negotiations, NO was talking of potentially using Vazquez at SF with Holliday and Gordon and Reke off the bench.....or at least it was hypothesized before the actual transaction......basically a 3 guard offense.

I this what the FO is thinking since we haven't picked up a SF yet?

Yes, let's go with the IT-Ellis-Vasquez-BMC-DMC linuep!

well, pete d'allesandro is an ex-nugget, and they ran a lotta three-guard lineups last season (with iggy swinging up or down depending on the matchup), so it's not like it would surprise me if the kings went small, at this point. with the monta ellis rumors gaining momentum, PDA appears to be readying a high-scoring denver clone of a team, and i couldn't be more disappointed as a kings fan...

 

[fiction916]

is anyone considering that PDA may be looking to Landry at SF?

I really hope not!

Correct in that Iggy swung up or down.....I think Gallinari was SF or PF with Iggy moving up down. Does PPat fill that big SF spot in stretches?

 

[ParniValjak]

He is barely 6'5" in shoes! C'mon now!

However, the way we are going with out off-season moves, McLemore could play C!

 

[KingMilz]

If we stunted Reke's growth it's only fair we do it to Big Mac as well I guess, sign Monta and move him to SF or the bench where he gets limted mins.

 

[HereWeBoogie]

i sure hope not. lets not destroy another young talent by playing him out of position

 

[Glenn]

Isn't this now a moot point with Luc, Salmons, and Outlaw?
