So now the question is who will be in rotation, who will be in reserve, and who will be inactive


ok here is my guess is Rotation,Reserve,Inactive

PG Beno, Solomon
G Martin, Bobby J, Reseve Mccants
SF Garcia, Nocioni,
PF Thompson, Donte, Reserve Diogu,Simmons
C Spencer, some Thomson

Inactive : Gooden (Groin), Booth (Emergencies only please) K9 (rather have Diogu/simmons)

I guess we need to split the 4-5 Between Spence, Jason, Donte
or maybe move Diogu into the mix somewhere in there.

Also maybe give Bobby J some rest and play some McCants?

lots of interesting possibilities

 

[SacKings7]

Donte Greene is 6'11"??

 

[vikinginferno]

Donte Greene is 6'11"??

I think more close to a tall 6'9" or 6'10".

Which rotation are we talking about? Natt seems to have at least 5. There's the starting rotation, the finishing rotation, the garbage rotation, the small ball rotation, & the very very small ball rotation.

What ever rotation he ends up with won't last for more than 3 or 4 games before he changes it again.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

I think more close to a tall 6'9" or 6'10".

Donté officially measured out (at the Orlando pre-draft) at 6'8.25" barefoot, 6'9" in shoes. Most players added closer to 1.5" with shoes rather than Greene's 0.75", so if he's wearing shoes that aren't so flat he'll be on the court between 6'9.25" and 6'9.75" (as you suggested). But no, not 6'11" by any means.

oh boy, after all the trades, it still seems like half the team are F/PF. i know booth and gooden are listed as possible centers, but they're smaller than our starting PF, and we're still lacking in depth at pg. thanks for posting up our new roster though, now trading down in the draft for more pieces seems like what we need.

He's not the information ninja, he's the freakin' encyclopedia!

You either have too much time or you are affiliated with the Kings.

Which is it Capt. ?

Considering he just turned 21 yesterday and pre-draft was closer to 19 years of age - maybe Donte has grow a bit since then. He looks to me 6'9" or a hair taller when standing on the court next to 6'11" JT.

Hard to know, really, there's so much smoke & mirrors involved in NBA height.

Example: I'm just about exactly average height, 5' 10.5".

Players wear shoes for their NBA height measurements, and I've seen up to 1.75" added to their barefoot height as a result. With my 1.75" shoes on, I'm now 6' 0.25". But the NBA always rounds up to the nearest inch, so my final NBA height is 6'1", just like BJax or Will Solomon. I'm big enough to be an NBA player!

If you've always wondered at how the NBA finds such huge guys, there's your answer... they aren't as big as advertised. But the numbers sure sound impressive, don't they?

Too much time, of course.
