richnba 3 Report post Posted July 20, 2007 Lebron has built himself like a fullback, he can bull his way to the basket, but his shot has taken a serious dive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skywise316 211 Report post Posted July 20, 2007 We basically have a three man frontcourt, IMO. Amare, Dwight, and Bosh. Two of those guys'll start at C and PF, while the third guy gets the most bench minutes. Maybe Chandler will get some minutes to be a rebound maniac. Then at SF.. boy that's tough. Player for player, I think LeBron's better than 'Melo, but Melo was USA's best player last time out. Maybe they'll just split the minutes, and whoever's playing better in any given game gets the 4th quarter minutes? I dunno. At SG is Kobe starting and finishing, no doubt. The only guy who should really push him for any sort of minutes is Michael Redd. To me the big "problem" is point guard: Chauncey Billups? Jason Kidd? Deron Williams?? What do you guys think? I learn towards putting Kidd in at the big moments, because with this many scorers on one team you need a pure point guard, not a fifth guy who can fill up the basket.

Thats why everyone elses lineup of Kidd, Kobe, Lebron, Amare, and Dwight is falling into the same trap as the last 3 or 4 international teams. You need a Redd type out there for pure shooting. Not 5 scorers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

djmase20 0 Report post Posted July 20, 2007 put him at the 4 instead of Bosh, then. I think he is beefy enough.. its not like Euro Trash likes to bang around down low, usually. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Carmelo is as close to a pure shooter as they have right now, Kobe will start a the 2 no doubt, he is not sf, I think a lineup of Kidd Kobe Melo Amare Dwight Would kill the internationals And D, no way Bosh starts he is good but he is to finesse, Amare can hit the J and he can bump inside he should get the nod over Bosh.

If coach K wants to win he will not start Bron, and Coach K has said he wants to. Also coach K isnt an idiot Dwight is the best rebounder on the team, and FIBA has no goaltending so Dwight will start, Amare doesnt play C, he plays pf.
