What offense would you run starting Balkman,Lee,and Q ? All you would be doing is taking 3 guys whose best game is on the offensive glass and moving them 23ft away from the basket on offense.An opposing coach would trap Marbury take the ball out of his hands and force Q or balkman to have to create offense away from the basket.

Has anyone ever played basketball before ?Coaches try all those lineups in practice just to see who can handle what .Its already well established that none of the three have great ballhandling skills or a midrange game .Youre essentially playing into a well coached teams hands .

I would rely on the guards more than the bigmen and take the focus away from isolations plays especially early in the season because those are easy you can get those anytime .Why waste a month and preseason games calling isolations when you can be working on actual play execution and zone defenses and offenses as I would use a lot of zone to offset our defensive woes
