How the West will be won!

Hello everyone. New season, new expectations. We're very happy with the addition of Antonio Daniels. Even though we gave up a great prospect in Kirk Hinrich, we feel Daniels give us a key perimter guy to join Big Z and CWebb. We definitely hope this group can help us have a big season.

Our starting lineup will look like this.

C - Big Z
PF - CWebb
SF - Tyrone Nesby
SG - Rick Fox
PG - Antonio Daniels

We signed Nesby this offseason to give us a solid wing performer and brought back Rick Fox to give us stability at the SG spot with Bryant Stith and Terry Dehere.

Our 2nd unit will look like this.

C - David Robinson
PF - Dontonio Wingfield
SF - Lamond Murray
SG - Bryant Stith
PG - Travis Best

We were happy to bring back David Robinson to give us a quality backup as well as be a mentor to DeSagna Diop who we expect to provide quality minutes when needed. Travis Best and Randy Livingston are solid PGs and we hope Lamond Murray and Sean Elliott can bring scoring off the bench.

Really our backup PF is a question mark. Wingfield beat out Gary Trent this preseason, but don't be surprised if we use Robinson and Diop together off the bench. Also, the bench could be entirely different after the trade deadline if these guys don't pan out.

Expectations have increased this year. We expect to be a playoff team and plan to make a long run.

We'll be taking questions now.

How do you feel about Rick Fox at the sg position? Does his lack of quickness worry you?

He was the best we could get. I may try others during the course of the season. But we like him. He's solid. His quickness isn't ideal but use a lot of help and trapping defense which can mask mediocre isolation defense.
