baby is a better defender and rebounder than moore. and lately has been a better outside shooter. moore's gonna need to do something incredible to take baby's minutes... and that would be to stop gasol because baby's size has proven to be a detriment against gasol. i think gasol would love the opportunity to try and score on moore though. the only one who can slow him down is perk.
and moore's not going to get powe's minutes cause he has no back to the basket game which is what we've been using powe for lately, though he hasn't been as efficient as we might have thought.
moore does bring energy though, and his length may be come in handy as a help defender in limited minutes or in certain match ups.
house's minutes will depend on marbury's d. doc wants house in there playing off the ball, but eddie does create a hole on d. he gives great energy and help d and chases guys off the 3 as well as anyone on our team, but he's very beatable 1 on 1. if marbury proves to be easily taken 1 on 1 as well, that will leave two holes at the guard creating breakdowns we can't afford on d in which case house's minutes may suffer.
gabe's capable of staying in front of his man, which is why he and eddie together have had some success.
now if marbury comes in and shows he can play d. i'm hoping he watches what paul did last year, then eddie can keep his minutes. gabe will lose his, sad, but he's still young, and ray's minutes can be trimmed somewhat. then ray comes back in and trim's pierce's minutes when we run a small lineup with steph eddie and ray, or maybe rondo comes back in at this point. either way, eddie keeps his minutes and with ray and eddie on the floor things will really open up penetration and post up.
we stalled slightly when eddie lost his minutes last year when sam came on board. i bet doc doesn't want to make that mistake again.
