..any way you cut it the bulls are deep and talented..they could use a legit seven footer though, but sweetney, brown, allen, and wallace have a lot of bulk...
Can Nocioni play PF?? I know you can play him there for a few minutes here and there, but how would that boy go defending Duncan or Amare?? Cos thats what he would be doing if he were starting...
I hope we dont go back to starting duhon... where in trouble if we do
My line up would be
Kirk
Gordon
Deng
PJ
Benny
And if Tyrus starts to show something I would swap him for PJ straight away.
Some people say Deng will start. Some people say Nocioni will start. They all have their reasons and opinions...what is yours?
Personally I think Nocioni should start, with Luol coming off the bench as the in-your-face type of player to shake things up during the game.
see this is what I wanted to know as well....I think they should go with this lineup
C-Wallace
PF-Noch
SF-Deng
SG-Gordon
PG-Hinrich
I think Noch is a 4 more than a three because of hes aggressive and plus he dont have any type of ball handling skills at all....and he would be better in the post and drawing out PF for a three to open up the offense a little....
I would rather see Gordon come off the bench. With kirk and gordon in the starting lineup, it's too small. Plus Gordon plays zero defense. I say if the swiss rookie does well in training camp, I'll start him. I'm not downplaying the role Gordon would play on the team but I would rather have a scoring punch off the bench. I'm not sure how much Gordon would like it but its better for the team. Plus, I still see Gordon playing around 30 minutes a game and he'll get his minutes in the 4th when we need a closer.
Yeah noce playing PF would be really good for our offense, but he would get eaten alive on D. He's only 6-7 and Wallace at C is only 6-9 although many think Ben is closer to 6-8 than 6-9. So it would be too short of a front court unfortunatley, we arnt the Suns I dont know if we would be able to make that work.
I guess the big question is Deng or Noce, personally I prefer Deng.

noch wouldnt get eatin alive because, with bigger 4's deng could switch off on the bigger 4's on defense...because of dengs wingspand.....and it dont matter with hieght in the east niether....

Yeah maybe we'll see, I guess it depends who you play, against teams like the Suns or Clippers for sure. But probably not against half court teams like the Spurs.
Anyway we'll see, Skiles will probably change it a few times anyway, he does that alot.
Edit; height matters, the east have some really good bigs coming good.
noch is one of the sickest deffenders in the leage in my opinion
an argantinian rodman esk forward, a couple inches isn't that big a deal
nocioni will still get inside their head
and take whoever he's gaurding off of their game
his style is ugly but affective, he doesn't need to cross anyone over
becous e he's constantly on the move with a killer long range shot and has a good cut to the basket, he wears his opponant out on both side of the floor
noch will have a good points per game average
