RK
UBL
Which is pretty ****in awesome.
T-Zisk and I have been talking about this on twitter... (@TZiskBuff and @Rumblinbuff :lol
It's kind-of a 4-guard look since 'Dre is considered a guard by this staff (weird... I definitely see an athletic 4 when I watch him play). It's certainly a 3-guard setup, with 2 points. Coach said earlier in the offseason that he likes to play more than one point at a time.

LOVE the multiple PG lineup. LOVE IT. Especially with our fastbreaking style.
This would be a good time to do an early analysis of the various members of the prestigious AllBuffs Preview Roundtable: http://www.allbuffs.com/showthread.php/68574-AllBuffs-Basketball-Season-Preview-Roundtable-Day-2

Not sure why, he isn't talented enough to start as it is, and right now he's not cleared to play with a concussion.

Hahah... very nicely done... but I did point out that Spencer would see plenty of minutes... just will depend on matchups. Honestly, nothing more overrated than a starting line up in basketball.

Absolutely... and with the option to sub in Booker and Sharpe? We are going to be flying down the court this year no doubt, hopefully we maintain some composure and keep our TOs limited... as Tad said, know when to attack, know when to make them play 35 seconds of D.
didn't know about the concussion, but I'm disappointed because I hoped he would have the talent to start.
^^this^^
It's not like Dre wasn't one of our 5 best players last year. Honestly, he's the guy I would have picked second after Alec by the last third of the season.
Convenient you posted that considering you're the only one to nail it. :lol:
I really hope SHT is starting by the end of the year. You've heard my spiel about how starting is overrated (and it's been touched on in this thread now), but we need his toughness out there to send a message from the start. We're going to run you, we're going to hit you, and you're at altitude. You might as well give up now bitches.
God, the thought of those two flying down the court with Dre & Brown on the wings and SHT pulling up the rear? Wow...
Could be protection against early foul trouble for Tunks just like Taddy did with Dre last year.
True.
I'm still nervous about Dre's foul problems. That's something to watch in non-con play.
I'm guessing it will be a problem a few times, but now that he is showing up on NBA draft watch lists... perhaps all those ticky tacky calls will start going another way more often than not.

It's an inside joke
SHT might be left behind. Literally, on the wrong side of the court, left behind.

Harrison perfected that play. From now on when a guy gets left behind he will have picked up a "harrison." Is this a stat we can track? Ken Pom threw out the "crazy uncle" in basketball prospectus this year, think we can get him to track harrison's for the 12/13 issue?
I agree with your views and would like to subscribe to your publication.
I remember a Kansas game, and I want to say it was '05, in which Harrison didn't pass halfcourt for 3 or 4 straight possessions. My friend finally lost it and just started screaming "RUN FATASS! RUN!" There were Krispy Kreme jokes, everything. He was merciless. To this day if I want to piss him off I just mention Harrison's name.
I hate people who say "there are no positions in basketball". That said, with this team this year, there are no positions in basketball. Trying to identify who is playing what position is going to be damn near impossible at times, so it's best if people just not think about it. Actually, Rumblin' & TZI had a great discussion on this on twitter yesterday if anyone is interested in going back through their feeds.
lame.
I used to get the director to call "Cheesburger in Paradise" to 'tempt' Big Dave to the other end of the court. If he was having a good stretch of minutes, the free-throw call would be "can someone get Dave a cheesburger?" I think I hustled back more than he did in '04.
