@BuckNuggets Am I confusing him with someone or isn’t Josh Childress a player in the past whose had attitude issues. Skiles doesn’t stand for that $@#!. I wish Hammond would stop grabbing players he knows will clash with Skile’s personality/style. Not that we currently have anyone like that now, but in the past: Salmons, Maggettes, Jackson, Bogut (to an extent) etc.

@ThisIsntUnicef I think there are varying degrees of liabilities.. Obviously we know Princes deficiencies, but so are Dalembert and Udoh as far as an offensive game.. those guys all make it up on defensive possessions though.. And even more obvious are Brando’s and Gooden’s shot selection issues. I am not worried about it though.

@flyingking You are SUCH a downer. All the time. Don’t call yourself a realist because you never have any facts to back up your reasoning. Joel Pryzbilla is white, so that makes him a bad player? C’mon, dude. Get real.

@KBela53 @JustinNixon Is there such thing as an offensive liability? I don’t think this team will have any trouble scoring. Regardless of who is playing SF

@MatthewSchwendinger I’ve been defending Gooden for as long as I can remember.

Yea as far as back-up PFs go Gooden is a pretty solid player

If Skiles were smart though Harris probably starts right away because LRMAM and Dunleavy are both 1-dimensional players that are better off in situational roles and coming off the bench. Harris is the future and he’s shown that his game is refined enough on both sides to be playing now.

@MatthewSchwendinger I’d prefer to just have Harris and Lamb be the back up in those respective positions, but I don’t see Skiles giving them that many minutes. Nobody denies that Gooden is a capable scorer and rebounder, and heck, he’s not a bad passer either. But at either PF or C, he’s an awful defensive player, and having bigs who can play defense is absolutely essential.

Let the kids play. Adding a player from the scrap heap of available players won’t add a significant number of victories this season. Give the young kids a chance to play. Tobias can back up Dunleavy at SF, Henson can backup Gooden/Ersan at PF, and Lamb can back up Ellis at SG. If it turns out any of them aren’t up to the task, throw Moute in at SF, Don’t play Henson so much, and use the Beno/Jennings combo together like Skiles did at times last season. In reality, is a Brandon Rush or Josh Childress going to make us a title contender? I’d rather watch the current players develop (even if it means missing the playoffs) than seeing a bunch of retreads on one year contracts try to extend their careers for another season.
