Thoughts on this front court?
C: Pau Gasol
PF: Ryan Anderson
SF: Josh Smith
The knee jerk reaction is, "Smith sucks as a SF". I don't think that's true, though. Rather, it's "Smith sucks when he's relied on to provide spacing".
Smith can succeed at SF. However, he can't succeed when his starting bigs can't play more than 5 feet away from the basket. If you free up space for him -- like Ryan Anderson will do -- he's still an excellent player.
