I understand your point -- but the fact of the matter is that we have no idea how the 2nd unit will play this season...it's an entirely different 2nd unit than we had last year. :shrug:
Very true. But I can't ignore the fact that outside of the starting 5, Taj, & Kirk, the rest of those guys look completely lost out there offensively and defensively. Seven games into the preseason and they are looking like a summer league team out there. Maybe because 3 out of the 5 were on the summer league, haha so i guess that scratches that theory.
I think short term resolution is get Booz in there to take some pressure off those guys to score. Now I know Snell won't see a lot of action a neither will Murphy, but when you have Kirk, Mike, and Nazr out there with maybe a Jimmy or a Deng I believe adding Booz in there makes the reserves a better team because what he brings offensively. And Taj doesn't demand the ball and is more of a grit, grind, clean-up the boards kinda player that can run the floor, so I feel he fits better with Derrick.
Season is going to be long. It's hard to put to much thought into what we have seen in the preseason I know. But I am just throwing out an idea of what could help the Bulls weakest link right now. And that is their bench.
