Balls O’hard : We found out that Taj Gibson is a very capable defender at the 4 position. DeMarre Carroll showed he can be a solid starter in this league as a 3 point shooter rebounder and defender. He also won the rookie game MVP and made first team all-rookie honors. Luc Richard showed he was a hard working backup trying to make this league and has improved greatly since his first day in a 76er uniform showing he can guard anyone on the court. He should see a lot more time this year.
Balls O’hard : With the end of last season came a new season. A season of transition and change. Out went Monta Ellis and Nate Robinson and in came Dwayne Wade Mike Conley and Amare Stoudemire. We made these moves for a couple of reasons. For one, we wanted to put some surrounding talent next to Titan.
Balls O’hard : With D Wade, we get a 2 way player that can also distribute the ball. Wade, like Titan, brings championship experience and was a Finals MVP. He’s a true star in this league. Conley brings another guy who can make the right play by passing, he can defend his position well, and he can open up our offense and shoot the 3. We’re excited to have him as one half of our backcourt. Amare is another guy we’re excited to have. Amare is a guy who can defend his position adequately and is an offensive superstar. Last season with Titan, we were one of the top defensive squads on the entire league, but at times failed to score the basketball efficiently. Adding Amare and Wade, we think, will cure that without giving up anything on defense.
Balls O’hard : We also drafted Larry Sanders, who we think can hold down the backup 5 position able to grab rebounds and defend. Training camp wrapped up yesterday, and we are excited to announce that we saw major improvements from everyone and we are ready to announce our starting lineup for game 1 will be as follows:
C: Titan Chandler
PF: Amare Stoudemire
SF: Demarre Carroll
SG: D Wade
PG: Mike Conley
Balls O’hard : I’ll now allow time for some questions!
