I don't remember but is it really much lower than last year's ranking? It seems like his average is always pulled down by a few categories like speed or defensive awareness but you can still score at will with him.


Re Cuban on Marion: Unless caron just looks that much better than last year's version and you are intent on starting Roddy, I don't get why you wouldn't start your best defender just so he can get a couple of extra points.

Cuban wants Caron to be the #2 guy, and that guy won't be coming off of the bench. The main body of scoring is Dirk/Caron/Roddy/Terry. I get Marion's defense and very much like him as a player, but the team really needs Butler to step it up scoring-wise.

Yeah that's why I said unless Butler is really that much better, but I'm a little skeptical. He can still be the #2 scorer coming off the bench like Ginobili and Terry were last year. He could also be the guy to finish the games, but I would rather use Marion against the other team's stud to begin the game, and let Caron benefit against the weaker 2nd quarter defenders.

As much I would like to see Butler on starting lineup, I would also like to see him more finish games. I think we should use more ISO's with Dirk and feed him more from 1 minut to ~15. Then take him out and bring in Butler and Terry. Let them destroy other team second units and then at end of first half bring Dirk back for few minutes to finish first half. Then he would have plenty of rest to play almost hole second half with Butler/Terry/Roddy (whith one who is feeling it the most that gamenight). I think thats the best way to have 2 strong scoring options on the court all time.
