Right now i am watching the game, and although I love Scal, I cant help but think, that he just does not fit on that second unit...right now out on the floor is Scal Sheed Ray E House and Quis...As i watch , I cant help but picture the player i have said to trade for a few times, in Scals place, and how much better the second unit could do (not that they are doing horrible, but it could be better)....I am picturing DORRELL WRIGHT in Scals spot right now. I think Wright would work a lot better than Scal with the 2nd unit, an athletic 6'9 four is an option we dont have on our roster, that we could use.

I mean right now, Scal is getting beat off the dribble by Ryan Anderson right now
(once again I love Scal, but i just dont think he is working right now)

Leave Scal alone.  He's only playing because Baby's injured.  When Baby comes back, you probably won't see Scal unless it's a blowout.

He only played because Shelden was awful against Ryan Anderson.

Dorrell Wright can't play defense nearly as well as Scalabrine can. Nor can he shoot the ball as well as Scal can.

Yeah, but I think Davis would have gotten a shot at him before Scal.  So again, he only played because Davis can't.

Neither should see the floor on a title team.

Oh I agree, once baby's back Scal is only going to see minutes if we're in serious foul trouble.

Too early to say that on Wright ... he could be a good secondary wing player off the bench this season.

Not a power forward though. Someone like Ryan Anderson or Rashard Lewis could do a lot of damage against him in the post. Needs to play on the wing as a small forward or two guard.

I'm sorry, there's no way,no matter how you put it that can convince me, that Dorrell Wright would have gotten beat off the dribble by Ryan Anderson.....and Based off of the last 3 or 4 games including tonight, Dorrell Wright's shooting ability fits perfectly with this team. I'm not worried about D. Wrights offense on this team....just like nobody is worried about Scal's offense.

I'm not expecting big minutes from Wright, just like no one is expecting big minutes from Scal...its just a piece or part of the puzzle, and I think he brings more versatility, as an option for Doc, more than Scal does

Yes, i understand why he is playing, but when Baby comes back, I'd still rather have an athletic wing body off the bench, rather than Scal sliding down as a wing option at times. especially since we now have Shelden.
