The nice thing is that we will have match up options and can, hopefully, create problems for other teams. </a> @Aykis16 If May is in the long term building plan then figuring out exactly how he can be used and working him into the PF slot would make sense.

You can just as easily bring in Greene off the bench, move Nocioni to PF and Thompson to center to spell Hawes. Then bring in May a few minutes later to relieve JT before bringing Hawes back in and moving May down to PF and keeping Greene at SF. That sounded a lot better in my head but you're smart. You understand what I'm trying to say. @Aykis16

He could be a valuable player this year if he plays like he did in college. A thought that I had earlier, and I might expound on my opinions in a FanPost over at STR is whether we would support Westphal if he put May in the starting lineup over JT. This would be assuming that May is producing well, and perhaps even outperforming JT in practice, but this would allow us to solve a little bit of our size problem by being able to bring in JT off the bench as our first big to back up Spencer or May. He would still probably get around 30 minutes a game, and this could prevent some early foul trouble as well. I also like Omri's shooting stroke, its looking really smooth, and he's obviously worked on it a lot in the last couple years, and his 3P% has increased overseas. We'll see how it works in the NBA, but I think he could be deadly as a spot-up 3 point marksman in a few years. Definitely agree with May.

I'll be there for Media Day and try to catch a practice before their first exhibition game. @MustangMBS

Hope to hear more about what you saw... Bobby J...? Was he playing the role of assistant coach? What is up with that? You were there? Hope to hear more about what you saw…
