Since Taylor flipped his lid, we really need a backup SF, and if MKG (6'7, 235 lbs) is the barometer of ideal SF size and strength, PJ might be the best in line to take that role.

 

Both Lance (6'5, 230) and Hendo (6'5, 215) have been talked about as players that can come in at SF in a pinch, but what about the rookie? He's 6'6, 230 lbs.

 

If Clifford could turn Big Al into a decent defender, it wouldn't be unreasonable to think he could help PJ turn into a reliable SF coming off the bench, without losing to much when MKG goes out.

 

With the way Neal has been playing and what we heard of him in training camp, Hendo could be packaged in a trade for something/someone else too...

Kemba - Roberts - Pargo

Lance - Neal - PJ

MKG - Hendo - PJ

Marvin - Zeller - Vonleh

Al - Biz - Maxiell

Yea due to injuries I see Marvin playing some SF. I see Hendo playing some SF as well. If Neal has really improved as much as I have heard he will no doubt be getting plenty of minutes at backup SG. I honestly don't see PJ getting much playing time this season unless major injuries occur. The same for Vonleh.

Hendo will probably be either the starting SF or the backup depending on what they do with MKG. His defense is elite and the stats backed that up last year, but his offense needs to come along in the preseason for him to have a chance at the starting spot. Either way I see a split Hendo/MKG splitting minutes at SF.

    • No saying he mostly sucks is saying that he doesn’t suck the minority of the time.   Like if he took 17 tests and had a couple of really good showings and a handful of pretty good scores sprinkled in among the typical sub par results.   Like a golfer who went out and shot an 89.  There will be some real nice shots sprinkled in there but at the end of the day it is still 89.    
    • It's worth mentioning... Game 1: Oct 11 in Raleigh. 4-3 OT win with a complete starting lineup. Game 2: Dec 13 in Philly. 4-3 SO win without Jaccob Slavin. Game 3: Dec 14 in Raleigh. 3-2 SO win with a complete starting lineup. Game 4: Apr 13 in Philly. 3-2 SO loss with the AHL roster.  Those early season games were no indication of the Canes team that finished the season. Miller and Ehlers were still trying to figure things out, Nikishin was still a work in progress and the Stankoven line was just another line. Make no mistake, the Canes team Philly will see is nothing close to what they saw at any point in the season. If the top line starts producing, Freddie stays hot and the blue line does what it does, this could be a sweep as well.
