How does the Backcourt stack up?

[gar]

Was sold on the trade once they included Brooks. Like him alot; but not such how the SG's stack up now. Will be interesting to watch. Of course he may also just be a piece that gets used to get a more vetran PG/SG combo.

PG) Rondo, Bradley, Pressey, Williams?

SG) Brooks, Crawford, Lee, Bogans (hard to call)

Is complicated by the fact that Bradley is not (and never will be) a PG and Williams is an experiment, Rondo is injured.

Your thoughts

Ideally, only Rondo is a starter among that group.

[Who]

PG - Rondo, (free agent), (free agent)
SG - Bradley, C.Lee, M.Brooks
SF - J.Green, K.Bogans, K.Joseph

SF - J.Green, K.Bogans, K.Joseph

That's how I see it too.

Wouldn't Joseph be ahead of Bogans? Ideally the C's develop all the young talent they possibly can rather than roll with a veteran who has no part in the team's future. Also, fortunately for us, Lee and Brooks can both play the SF, so they'll be able to have more opportunities to see the court.

I don't really consider Kris Joseph a prospect to be developed. Just a third stringer here on a short term contract. Keep him for depth.

Let him serve his purpose and then move him on.

Actually, especially with the fact that Lee and Brooks can both slide over to the 3, I agree with you.

Backcourt's not my concern,  I worried about the frontcourt. Makes me really uneasy.

Wallace?

Wallace?

Starting at power forward.

I'm pretty sure Wallace ain't doing that ever again after all his concussions.  Maybe Green would start at PF w/ Wallace at SF.

Even then, given our current objectives, I'd rather start one of the younger guys and bring Wallace off the bench.

I mean, if your goal is to ensure that Wallace misses half the season, then yeah, start him at PF.

crawford and brooks together should be fun to watch..

I wouldn't give either of them minutes, honestly.

Selfish chuckers are the worst kind of player to have on a rebuilding team.

I'd rather score 65 points a game and have guys who can pass, rebound, play defense, and hit open shots.

So many guards. Rather be overloaded with bigs. Package Lee/Brooks and Bass for a decent center. Wallace and Green will cover enough mins a game at pf to add an average pf.

Gerald Wallace is the better option from a defensive and rebounding point of view than Jeff Green is at the power forward position. I think Green should stay at SF.

Wallace's speed and slashing will also help open up transition offense and the halfcourt offense for what will likely be an offensively challenged team. I think it will be the team's strongest unit. 

I also want G-Wallace to play big minutes because I think he can put up good numbers here (14-15ppg, 8rpg in 32-35mpg) and improve his trade value immensely. In which case, I would be optimistic about Danny's chances at trading G-Wallace at the trade deadline or in the summer and getting that bad contract off the C's books. Which I think should be a priority for this Celtics team.
