Which guy is more likely Dean Wade or Lamar Stevens?

[weepinwillow]

Wade and Stevens are the only guys who look primed to be rotation guys. Pangos maybe, but he's basically in the "giving the NBA a go" mode at 28.
Lamar always makes good things happen when he gets minutes because he's just a smart player and has good size/athletic ability. I gave the nod to Wade only because he does shoot exceptionally well and the NBA has legislated itself into an overvalue on 3 point shooting floor spacers.

If we could somehow re-incentivize the mid-range shot and allow players to play defense without awarding the offense multiple trips to the freethrow line, Lamar has a pretty good NBA career ahead of him.

I am not sure these 5 guys would be good enough as a starting 5 to make the tourney.

In Ohio alll high schools make the tourney.

Pangos doing well in the poll. I was shocked how people reacted to this signing. Pretty favorable

I went with Wade, but could be talked into any of Wade/Stevens/Pangos.

-Wade the most proven, but he'll have a harder time getting minutes this year.

-Stevens has an easier path to minutes, and looked great in summer league, but can he succeed without a jumpshot?

-Pangos probably the best player in a vacuum, but he has the most difficult path to a rotation spot, no NBA experience, and his foot problems could flare up at any time.

I'd like to see Wade get minutes at the 3. He never really seems to be out of sorts. Very few if any bonehead plays. Plays hard but doesn't try to do too much. And we need the shooting. His defense is underrated in my opinion. I have no doubts about him being able to guard the vast majority of forwards that are coming off the bench. He's not gonna stop the really good players, but he proved last year to be a serviceable defender in the post and on the perimeter some.
