Jerry on NJ basketball

I have been thinking of the post D with DW and Cope. The play of dw at pf is making me think of Ish a little. Played with undersized center, great off the ball defender. Jerry said:

"Having a weak-side shot-blocker who can run the floor and score inside or outside the paint would be a new and exciting twist."

Having a 6'10 Ish with a jumper...sounds good to me. Here's hopin'.

It will be something to watch in the early going to see if Williams and Copeland get enough time on the floor together. Can we get 20 or so minutes of them on the floor together?

I think a pairing of Copeland and Williams would be dynamic on both ends of the floor. Defensively Copeland to hold his ground in the post and Williams to have some freedom to block shots from that weakside. Kabba is a shot-blocker and physical presence with no post or shooting skills to speak of. Fisher could be more of an offensive option playing with Kabba.

If Kabba is not able to give us a decent 8-10 minutes (I think he can), that will force Sha to split the 5 with Copeland and Williams leaving little minutes for DW at the 4, where I think he's most capable of reaching his max potential.
