Play them all [the bigs] with more of a focus on match ups. Sacrifice Gasol's minutes to give those 3 more playing time and to light a fire under his ass; make Gasol earn his playing time.
If FatHead can play the 3...Bertans can play the 3

Will be interesting to see what his defensive metrics look like when we get a larger sample size.
No reason at all Bertans can't play the three.
--------------------------------------
super agree
he's very adept on the catch-and-shoot in that he hops and sets his feet before the ball arrives, so he can go RIGHT up with it for a quicker release. that alone is a HUGE improvement over bonner who had a slow and very low release which allowed him to be chased off the line quite a bit (though he did develop that one handed half-hook as a counter)
What happened to Dedmon? How long is he out for?
Mills, Manu, Bertans, Lee, Deadmon.
and we never have to see Anderson again.
Gary Neal only became a rotation player because someone (James Anderson) got injured in his first season ... I think Pop likes the three point shooting of Bertans enough to keep him in the rotation as he did with Gary Neal. Deadmon is in a tough spot now tbh
Bertans is a special player. Huge props to the scouts
Could tell right off the bat after a couple of stellar plays in summer league (even if it was SL) He just has a certain flair. Awesome combination of pure shooting, natural bball instincts and athleticism
Bertans has enough size to just shoot over his man. A play in the game against the celtics, where manu passes the ball to him. He has the option of either feeding the ball to the cutting manu under the basket, or just shooting it over the smaller man.
At SF, there's a mismatch there that's going to be exploited.
I would love to see this.... Gasol, Aldridge, Bertans, Green ... and Kawhi at point.
He's been used as a 4 almost exclusively, and with quite a bit of success.
this, people just like to repeat what they hear even if it does not make sense
I love the fact that both Manu and Tony are starting to understand how to feed him effectively
One thing is putting them at the "3" and the other is they actually keeping up with their respective matchups at that position.
Guys, can we call him NINEFINGERS??!!
I got the name, NINEFINGERS, from this:
I think Bertans should take Andersons minutes in the rotation. Use Simmons to spell Green/Manu and when we need some juice. Don't touch Lee's minutes, as he has been the most reliable bench option so far imo.
I would go with Mills-Manu-Simmons-Bertans and Lee/ Dedmon at the five (depending on the match up)
