For the record I don't want AI here, at least as a first option. I'd rather have Kevin Martin. Screw his poor defense, 3/5 of our starters are defensive starters anyway and don't really have offense. AI is a solid player, but I don't think he's consistent enough scorer to be that #2 scorer we've been wanting. Puts up a lot of 3's, only shoots around 30%, and only shoots around 42% on FG's. Don't get me wrong, I love his defense and rebounding, but we're looking for another scorer...we don't need this.
As I was saying about Martin, he provides that 20 PPG that we want (still averaging that this year despite it being a "down year") and his defense can be covered up by starting Marion, by starting Dampier, and by starting Kidd. And vice versa, it helps cover up those threes offensive woes.
