Title: Poll: What scrub steps up big and becomes a rotation player
Post by: KG Living Legend on September 26, 2017, 04:11:53 AM: The 9 man Rotation is set. Horford, Morris, Hayward, Brown, Irving, Smart, Tatum, Baynes, Rozier. IMO we need one of Theis, Yabu, or Semi to step up big and complete our rotation.

I think Semi projects as a better defender than Yabu. I might be wrong. Similar I guess..

Yabusele, Ojeleye, Larkin, are D-League plus players, not quite ready for the NBA. Theis may not be either of course so a very possible answer to this poll is none of the above. I peg Theis as most likely though.

Post by: smokeablount on September 26, 2017, 10:31:47 AM: I said Semi. Brad already went on record praising his D so he should be a solid defender off the bench. He should be mainly a 3 and D guy, and unlike so many other skills that require adapting to NBA speed and nuance, if he can move off the ball pretty well his ability to hit good looks from 3 should translate immediately.

I think Theis would be my second choice, but I also think he could bomb. I don't think Yabu is good enough on D and I don't think Nader looked effective at anything but shooting open 3's in SL, though I liked him the year before.

I stand behind this comment. Semi is ready now. Yabu could be a force at PF in time.

Post by: Greyman on September 26, 2017, 03:58:50 PM: I voted Theis. The dancing bear intrigues me though and, while Theis might be solid, the bear could be special.

Post by: CelticsElite on October 02, 2017, 09:58:57 PM: Theis

Not fair to call him a scrub though
