Funny stuff from Fedor...
Saturday’s supersized lineup featured Nance as, well, the 2-guard. Drummond viewed himself as the 3. Maker the 4. McGee the 5.
It’s the second consecutive game that Nance, a 6-foot-7 power forward who played center earlier in his career, logged minutes in the backcourt.
“I’ve had five, the center position. I knew I had the power forward obviously. I’ve got the small forward -- had that last year. I may have added shooting guard as well,” Nance said the other night. “You can officially put Larry Nance two through five. When people draft me (in) fantasy, you can use me for two through five, whatever. They better update. But it was funny. I love it.
Great. Now Drummond thinks he's a 3 and Nance thinks he's a 2. How is JBB going to get these guys to go back to playing the 4 and 5 after they've gotten a taste of playing on the wing?
“That’s the way it’s gonna be for a long time,” Drummond said. “We’re gonna have to make games ugly, make it messy, make it a very dirty game because we have a lot of big men that are able to do a lot of things. We’re just going to play to the best of our ability and put our team in a good situation.”
Okoro is back and Sexton could be back tomorrow and Garland is supposed out for about a week, so he could be back in a few days. I don't know about messing up the game "for a long time". But it was interesting to see Drum, McGee, Maker, and Nance on the floor at the same time. Land of the Giants. It worked pretty well, too, with Dotson as the only guard, but it would work even better with Sexton.
Or how about Drummond, McGee, Nance, Okoro, and Sexton? Nobody scores in the paint or gets an offensive rebound.
