Mile High City selects.
Anderson Varejao
Injuries by darned, he's still a double double machine, can play the 4 or 5 spot, and he's coming off the bench.
I was just thinking he would be perfect with this team (below)
Looking for some feedback on the squad.
PG-Rose
SG-Afflalo
SF-
PF-Grffin
C-Vucevic
I think that is a well rounded team.
As a sixth man. Someone who can shore up the interior defense. Play alongside either B-Griffin or N-Vucevic. Provide staunch defense, physical toughness and rebounding.
But, how about on my team?
Complements N-Vucevic (jump-shot) and B-Griffin (forward skill-level) brilliantly. Vucevic being an Ilgauskas type offensive player to balance Varejao's offensive limitations at PF.
Not so sure about A.Bogut and G.Monroe. Bogut is a good high post passer but lacks a jump-shot so only a so-so high post big. I think spacing will be difficult with Varejao and Bogut on the floor together. I consider Greg Monroe is a work in progress as a power forward and I am not sold on him there. More of an undersized center than a genuine PF at this stage in his career. So not wild about how well those three players work alongside one another. All individually very effective but not so sure about them as combinations.
I would have looked for a different type of backup big behind G-Monroe and A-Bogut. Someone with a true jump-shot and preferably good quickness. Rather than an offensively challenged but top defender/rebounder big man like Varejao.
Varejao is very good value for the fourth round. A steal (if healthy).
Thanks but I want to argue about Bogut and spacing.
He does not have a good mid range game, but he plays well at the high post. He's always the guy who sets picks on the top of the key and is not afraid to pop instead of roll.
While he doesnt have the shooting, he's very skilled that if you give him space he'll explode and put the ball on the floor and drive hard. Then it's either two things.
It will be either the defense will commit to him, and he finds an open man under, or this...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fv9akgLJBzcIf you close out on him, it opens up the floor for Monroe, who all he needs to do is get in position, and Bogut will be able to send the ball his way for an inside shot.
I've watched so many Bogut games and I'm confident enough to say that he can not be a detriment on spacing, regardless of his shooting woes. I've seen it.
To actually add, the mere fact that Lillard can command double teams makes it even better for Bogut and their high screen and roll play.
