Coach K gives starting lineup for saturday

[Purch]

On Saturday we’ll start Rondo, Billups, Chandler, Iguodala and Durant. But we don’t just have a set starting lineup, Rose can be in there, Lamar Odom, obviously Rudy Gay, Danny Granger, they’ll all be in there.

Rondo
Billups
Igoudola
Durant
Chandler

Thoughts?

I'm suprised he started Durant at the 4

[elemento]

i'm not surprised but i'd start Danny Granger over Iggy.

Billups has already commited to playing the 2 basiclly full time.

So basiclly him and Curry will be playing the two guards on this team.

And Rondo and Rose will play the points

is saturday when the entire tournament starts?

[Purch]

Billups at the 2? Who's the bak up point?


Rondo-Billups

Rose-Curry

Im almost sure this team cannot beat Spain or Greece.

[DeadlyDynasty]

other than Durant, that's a very poor shooting/offensive starting 5 imo...good defensively tho

Im almost sure this team cannot beat Spain or Greece.

If we have someone who can hit outside shots, no one is going to beat them.

3rd place at best

I wonder how many centers from America I can think of that suck less than Tyson Chandler...Surely they could have recruited a better one.

[Jt.ONE]

durant should be at his natural 3 spot
iggy shouldn't be a starter imo

That's a crazy comment. He's an excellent defensive center, especially against the pick n roll. He's a good defensive presence in the paint. He runs the floor very well, and offensively is very good at setting screens, rolling to basket to finish easy dunks, and is a good offensive rebounds. The Hornets fell apart when he got hurt and later got traded. He was a huge part of the team's past success.

There is a decided lack of necessary ifs in your post.
