Logjam in the backcourt

With last nights addition of Jeremy Lin, we now have: Walker, Batum, Lamb, Hairston, Daniels, Roberts and Lin in the backcourt. While I don't feel terrible about that rotation, I'm wondering if someone will be the odd man out. If not, then we really have no room for Harrison who has been the brightest star IMO during the summer league. Is Cho going to pull a Cho and drop the ball by not signing Harrison? Is someone getting cut in lieu of signing Harrison?

I see a lot of minutes for Walker, Batum and Lin. I don't see Lamb having a huge impact this year. I think they traded for him to see if they can get steal but they are not sure what they are getting. He might have some minutes. Daniels might get some spot up minutes. I don't see PJ or Roberts playing much. I still think we use one spot for Harrison and send him to the D-League. 

This would leave one more open spot for MLE for a big.

Nowadays, athletic 2/3 types can present some flexibility but we have a lot of guys that really seem to be more on the 3 side: MKG (strictly), Batum, Lamb, Taylor, Hairston.  We still don't have a pure guard on this team (Minus Aaron).  It seems they wanted size that can shoot this offseason.

Lamb can play SF no? I really don't know, I'm not huge into the NBA yet.

I think Lamb will play some SF, and Batum possibly too.

Kemba  and MKG will probably miss time for injuries so we need depth.  

Batum got plenty of time at SF in portland.. more than sg.. 1. Lillard 2. Matthews 3. Batum

      Looking Way Ahead, But.

      I didn't say I thought throwing it was a bad decision, I said I thought not running those 3-5 yard routes to pick up the 1st down wasn't a great call.  Yes the play worked out, but I didn't love the play call, it's like when a bad shooter is taking a 3 and you're yelling "no no no" as they're going up and then they make it so it worked out. That's still gambling on them to make the play and I take no issue with that. But I just went and watched the play again, we had T-Mac and XL running downfield crossing routes, Coker went in motion behind the LOS and then moved up a yard or two after the snap but not even past the LOS, Sanders chipped the DE and then ran a drag route right long the LOS. The play worked out, but I don't really like that particular play call and route tree with the game on the line on a 4th and 2.  If you want to send one route downfield as an option that's fine, but there were only 2 realistic target options with that route tree and they were both 15-20 yards downfield.

      Chuba is a better back than Rico.

      If BY comes back, they 100% need to bring in legit competition.    Heres what as you are alluding too. This team can either sign Icky&Mays or BY, I do not see both without cuts/trades/etc. My vote is for Icky&Mays, draft a QB....

      JB shouldn’t even be a thought IMO.  Bonus if he ever matters for us.
