I've been interested in the KG-Stiemsma combo which Doc has been playing a few minutes per game. To me it is reminisent of Perk-KG. Stiemer clearly makes people think when they are in the middle - he alters shots by his presence alone. He also has better hands than Perk and has some offense (and can shoot a FT). I really think Doc should consider starting Greg and bring Bass in as 6th man. I realize Greg will likely get into some foul trouble, but with about 15 games till the playoffs, I think now is the time to see if this team can recapture the feel of what used to be the best starting 5 in basketball.
I understand that KG at the 5 has been a postive for this team, but it's been out of necessity. Perhaps the emergence of Stiemer as a consistent player will allow KG to move back to his preferred position. I am often not crazy about the Bass matchups starting at the 4. Bass has been getting good looks for his J though.
