Does KG Needs To Have A Low Post Scorer Beside Him? Or A Jump Shooter Like Bass?

[kozlodoev]

edit: Well, looking at Shaq's 80% of assisted baskets about the rim, maybe this is not entirely true :-D

Shaq would seal his man deep and would be given an assist as he layed it in. Alternatively he also was great at catching lobs and laying it in quick if his man fronted him. Both of those sort of baskets would lead to assists, but relied on Shaqs great hands, length, and strength.

Exactly.


To Kozlodoev's point, I mean someone like Al Jefferson would add a nice dynamic as far as being able to isolate and score that way on a post up (which Shaq was kind of past when he joined us) but even just a strong, catch and finish type big would be great for our offense (as evidenced by Shaq).  Our team passing is so good that a player like that can be very effective without as much of a iso post up game.

I've lowered my standards, though -- right now I'm just hoping for someone who can get a defensive rebound.

This exactly. I think an active above-the-rim big man who can roll hard to the basket and finish well is the best partner for KG and Rondo. Basically, a rich man's Chris Wilcox.

Its not even about being above the rim.  It is about being able to roll to the basket, catch, and finish.

You know who a rich man's Chris Wilcox is?  Gortat.  Great pick and roll big man, who knows how to finish at the basket, and is a decent defender and rebounder.

I'd love to see Gortat on this team. I think he's a terrific fit.

I don't like the idea of getting Big Al. He's a terrible defender and isolates too much. I don't think he'd be a good P&R partner for Rondo.

my choices are gortat hickson mozgov varejao
i don't know dragic and gortat don't work, but on nash it works, gortat is a good Pick N' Roll Guy Low Post Scorer Which Is we really need + a Shot Blocker, if gortat is in C kg is outside, now gortat can spread the floor for kg to hit jump shots, and gortat will get those rebounds, now on rondo's side if kg has no room for jump shots low post scorer gortat will help a lot, so sully playing beside kg is a great idea,
gortat/kg/lets say back-up C oden or olynx or mozgov
kg/sully/green
pierce/green

a multi-faceted big like Sullinger is ideal.

[SHAQATTACK]

SULLY  got offense ,   he gonna put on a big Al show one day ......boy can play

he does everything KG needs him to do   and most important Sully is a GOOD free-throw shooter for a big.

KG-SULLY -GREEN all healthy 100% would be a nice front court.

[Meadowlark_Scal]

Post playr..rebounder..anyone can shoot from outside...we have terry for that anyway...kg shoots from outside mostly..we need an inside guy to rebound, go up, cause foul trouble on the other team, or pass it out for a reset....he did all that last night....and he is just starting...!!!

Sullinger was perfect.

Now we have a white Sully.

Love it.

KG needs a Pau Gasol type!

Yeah, I'd call .746 good, not great.  KG, Bass and Green all shot better than him this year.  Wilcox and Shav (in China) no more than .080 worse.

[Meadowlark_Scal]

Well, yes, sully was getting to be my fav....but now shav is doing it.....he has moves.....funny how guys expect it ALL from a guy in ONE GAME..wait till they start looking for him more.....you saw how he was open last game and people looked past him like he was a camera man.....open on the baseline...soon they will use him.post play is probably the most difficult....you got a guy right on you, and others that come around you..and VERY little time...!

I believe either would work as long as the player wasn't a one trick pony. Meaning he might be proficient in one aspect of his scoring but could still get some buckets the other way as well.

Another kg. xD
