Crowder/Bradley Effective off the Bench?

all we have are bench-quality players.  they'd all be better served coming off the bench behind better talent.  yes, I include IT in that sentiment. 

I wish we had the talent to be able to use him in a Vinnie "The Microwave" Johnson role.

Man, the NBA must be a sad puppy these days. A team with all-bench talent can win 48 games.

Yea the idea we don't have a single starting player on our roster is pretty bizarre for a team that won 48 games. Do people realize the Spurs start Danny Green and a very average Tony Parker? That the Thunder start Roberson and Adams. The Cavs start either Mosgov or Thomspon and Jr Smith. You can't have superstars at every position in the starting 5 and Bradley and Crowder are better than many of these other "starting" players. IT is better than them all and a lot more.

I think Bradley would be very effective in that role, though I'd personally rather start him with butler as i feel their skills compliment each other better.

Crowder could certainly be a good bench player, but having him in that role i would feel like i am holding back his career.  Id feel he could go elsewhere and have a real impact role as a starter.

Butler and Bradley? I hope Butler suddenly turn into a point guard, because that's not gonna work.

Bradley off the bench is a fine idea, he'll cause havoc against second line offensive players with his D, and he successfully attacks early with his jump shot in most cases. On paper it seems like a fit. And I don't think he'll really mind too much.

Depending just who is on the floor with Crowder is important when considering him a starter. His aggressive defensive play, and never back down attitude say starter, his limited scoring says other wise.
