With MoT still having to fill his weed suspension, who do you think will start at PF? I guess it comes down to either Griff or KT, if he's not traded by then. My guess is that KT will start the first 5 games and then maybe one more with Mo coming off the bench. Then Mo will start from there out.
It will be KT who starts and EG coming off the bench unless... KT falls flat on his face in training camp and/or EG blows away everyone with his progress. KT will not be traded until the Rocket are sure that MoT is physically ready.
I hope its Eddie...i think it would benefit Eddie to start those 1st 5 games (and hopefully more while Mo sits)...KT could be a great spark off the bench
I say start whoever gives you the best change of winning the game. IF KT is a better PF at the start of the season than Eddie, then start KT. IF Eddie produces matchup problems and gives us the best chance of winning the game, then start Eddie. At some point you have to be about winning more than player development and increasing trade value.
Kenny will be the likely starter,and it won't be for only the first 5 games either. I think he will do even better than last year.
KT and EG will both get a lot of minutes at the start of the season. Once the rest of the frontcourt (Ming, Nachbar, Rice, MoT) starts to come along, that may change.
I hope they start Eddie as if to say, you're our guy. The minutes will likely go to Kenny Thomas in my opinion.
KT will probably start with EG getting a ton of minutes. EG and Ming will be on the court together a lot and that will be exciting. Too many 4's who will want $$$. Trade Mo Tay or KT, since its Mo Tay with the big contract, probably should trade him and sign KT for less. This way we can keep the nucleus intact.
I'd rather start Eddie, since Kenny has all the makings of a great bench player, while Eddie is the PF of the future. Let them get acquainted with their future roles .
