Dion Waiters (do i have the best starting big men?)
I'd say you have among the best bigs out there.
I think KG/Booz would compete with just about any Big tandem out there, too. Plus, Zaza and Speights spent a good portion of the year starting for ATL and MEM.
We also have Meyers Leonard and Andrew Nicholson which will push for playing time, too.
You guys have some great bigs also but id say our bigs are slightly better and our backup bigs are better also
KG and Pau are just about a wash...
http://www.basketball-reference.com/play-index/h2h_finder.cgi?request=1&p1=garneke01&p2=gasolpa01but Boozer and Gortat?
http://www.basketball-reference.com/play-index/h2h_finder.cgi?request=1&p1=boozeca01&p2=gortama01DeAndre is an athletic c, but he has little post-game, as was evident in the playoffs. Plus, he doesn't shoot freethrows well, yet. He relies on lobs and great looks from his PG to be effective right now.
Stiemsma will provide you some shot-blocking off the bench, but matched up with either Speights or Zaza would prove a bit daunting, I think, for him. Speights has enough of an offensive rythm to where he could cause Steim problems.
I'm not exactly sure of Dejuan Blair's medical issues, but I thought I read somewhere that he has little cartilage left with his knees?
To be honest - I did attempt to acquire Gortat. But with that potential acquisition I was mindful of the fact that he is not a good distributor yet. KG and Booz are good at this skill and I could easily see them switching out high and low post and getting the ball to one another.
My ONLY real concern with my bigs are vs quick, athletic PFs, such as Bosh. KG at this point could guard him only in stretches.
A weakness that I've seen with Boozer is that there are some long Cs and PFs that have given him some trouble in the past, based off of their length. I've seen little of this with him in CHI, though, matched up with Noah.
With that being said, I think Boozer/KG could cover very well for themselves and work together. Boozer did not have a very good yr last year, but that was without Derek Rose most of the year.
In this format, he'd have Mike Conley Jr, Trevor Ariza, and KG with the ability to distribute the ball to not only him, but one another.
