FW: Check This one out

[Schroeder, Tom]

Fine, if you want to isolate on a "two-some" and make a stat based
comparison only, more power to them.  I would rather look at the big picture
that tells me that we have a few more options than they do.  I like our
shooting guard combo and people have not really given Hicks too much of a
look.  I know that he is young, but when a kid already knows how to play
like a monster, he won't be denied playing time.  Who does X have that could
possibly match up with Hicks?  If West is consumed with Max, then we have a
number of options that will contribute down low.  Holbrook, is out so who's
going to bang for them, Caudle??  Can anyone tell me that Chalmers is going
to push Barker around?  Not likely.  Barker is as quick as Chalmers and
twice as strong.  Call me crazy, but I don't see X winning against us.

I think this guy at least thought things out well, and defended his
position.  If you are looking strictly at the two combos, he may be right,
but last I checked, there are 5 players on a  team and I do expect Lenny to
be better and more consistent this year.  We of course, get to find out!
