that lineup with jerebko, zeller,kelly,turner isaiah

[rollie mass]

reminded me of last year,NO LEE---zeller did everything he could except miss two free throws and jerebeko missed the layup and was probably trying to get fouled
 during their time the floor got spread and jerebko played good defense
i think i know what happens with lee because he can dribble, he dribbles it up,and he is a good passer and goes right and left to hoop but can't shoot from outside-everything changes with lee
when zeller plays there is little creativity but he can hit outside  or pick and roll or just hands off-nothing tricky or slick-neither he or jerebko are creative but reactive to isiah or turner
-if you watch jerebko in corners or beyond three he really sells it which draws defender out further
zeller scored easily with his flip hook and was crisp in his pick and rolls-jerebko kept the ball moving quickly and was active on defence--zeller and jerebko can run and both shot like they can
it was a good feeling seeing those two step up

I think you will see Jerebko and Zeller replace Lee and Young in the lineup going forward.

Last year jerebko had 1 big advantage over crowder - shooting. now that's going the other direction so its tough to see what jerebko is giving you that you can't get from other guys.

I think zeller needs a bit more focus and consistency on offense - just do what you do and play hard but within who you are.

After Jerebko got hot last game he now has a higher 3 point percentage than Crowder. He might not get to the 40%+ he was at last year but he's shooting 36.8% from 3 this year.

he is so much quicker laterally than young,he likes playing defence and has motor-he tries to crash offensive boards and gets his hands on alot of shots-not afraid to mix it up -i love guys that get offensive boards they are very underated

I didn't realize that. We'll see if he gets a chance to put a streak together. Crowder is  still shooting better than last year though. Jerebko isnt behind him in shooting but he's not ahead either

Zeller is getting scewed on playing time...Give him the same minutes that the other big men get, and his numbers would be very productive...But, this won't happen...I hope he gets traded to a team that will let him play...

You know Brad is really searching when you see crap line ups with Zeller and Jerebko. Nothing against Jerebko, cause I like his effort, but it's not a good sign when we have to roll those two guys out there.

I think there's a difference between "have to" and "want to". Right now everything is falling into the "want to" camp as far as Stevens is concerned. It paid off fairly well in Detroit (Zeller was fairly bad in the 4th after having a really good 3rd quarter) and Jerebko finally shot the ball well... but otherwise, Stevens has been playing players who have been complete duds so far in the season.

Considering how quickly Stevens took Zeller and Lee off the starting unit, and put Zeller out of the rotation, I'm surprised at his insistence of keep playing certain players who aren't producing as the season has unfolded.

Funny thing is, though partially the fault of ineffective units, but Jerebko currently has one of the worst defensive ratings on the team, yet Stevens seems to reason that Jerebko's value currently is because of his defensive energy... so there's a bit of an incongruity there.
