And I thought I had crazy ideas. Hahahahahaha.
But yeah, this is a reasonable small-ball lineup, given Carl's strength in defending the post and in boxing out (which honestly needs work) and grabbing rebounds for UP, he might just cut it, he won't be a total liability at 4 or 5. Mobile enough for 4, strong enough for 5.
Balti naman will provide help defense. He's not that good 1-on-1, but a good team defender and switcher.
Do you really think guys a frontline of:
C: Kai, AJ
PF: Balti, Tamayo
Will be enough and effective. I think we need one insurance Big. Japeth, JMF, Erram, Or Troy? Personally I will go with Japeth for Mobility. But JMF is probably ok too for post presence and matchups.
But if we gonna play a Very Undersized Perimeter Oriented Lineup like:
PG: Kief, Bolick
SG: JC, Perez, Heading (or Parks)
SF: Dwight, Thirdy(or Oftana)
PF: Baltazar, Tamayo
C: Kai, AJ, Japeth
Then, we would just gonna spam pnr and 5 out offense. All Of these Bigs Can attack fron the Perimeter. Yes, all of them.
I believe these lineup can shoot too.
The problem is size. Since we are classifying Balti and Tamayo as "Bigs", it will make the SF Wings Smaller in Size. Especially if it will be Thirdy over Oftana.
Some will argue JC and Perez are redundant. But I am willing to take the redundancy.
I may choose oftana over heading because if size. But Heading imo is our best local shooter so far.
Kiefer and Bolick are almost locks for me at PG spot.
Parks will be a lock too for me if he will settle things.
