I feel Teague is as fast as Ish plus he brings a whole lot more firepower both offensively and  on defense. Putting Williams at SG gives us a defensive stopper who can occasionally get hot offensively.  Play to our strengths&lt;BR/&gt; on this team with (2) interchangeable forwards in Johnson &amp;amp; Aminu.  Place Walker in the middle and let him block any shot attempted in the paint.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6976198517916985323/5491954477165392714/comments/default/7255770565232732272'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6976198517916985323/5491954477165392714/comments/default/7255770565232732272'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.oldgoldandblog.com/2008/10/mailbag-basketball-starting-5.html?showComment=1224865620000#c7255770565232732272' title=''/><author><name>John</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02386624692360633238</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.oldgoldandblog.com/2008/10/mailbag-basketball-starting-5.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6976198517916985323.post-5491954477165392714' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6976198517916985323/posts/default/5491954477165392714' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6976198517916985323.post-8915067518298645656</id><published>2008-10-23T12:16:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2008-10-23T12:16:00.000-04:00</updated><title type='text'>IshTeagueJohnsonAminuChasI think the first subs wi...</title><content type='html'>Ish&lt;BR/&gt;Teague&lt;BR/&gt;Johnson&lt;BR/&gt;Aminu&lt;BR/&gt;Chas&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;I think the first subs will be LD and Woods.  What an energy boost those guys will bring!  I can see an Ish/Teague/LD rotation in the backcourt akin to what Skip did with CP3/Gray/Downey, with Jeff playing the role of Taron, able to play either guard spot depending on which backcourt partner is in at the time.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;I'm most curious to see which bigs can play together.  Guys like Woods, Weaver, Chas, and Ty will probably get more minutes if they can sub in at a forward spot and play alongside another big.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml'
