Dunleavy is a very good basketball player as is Murphy. They're not
stars. They're not JO. They're not the problem.

Again, he's just a good basketball player. He wasn't a defensive
specialist in college and he's not one in the pros either and never
will be. He's a shooter, a poor man's Bill Lambieer, if you will. At
6'11 and around 245, he's just a post up player who can play out on
the wings. For his career, which is only in the 6th season, he gets 8
rebounds per game, nearly 6 of those are on the defensive side. That's
all you are going to get from Troy. That's why at the end of games
he's taken out for a defensive guy and put back in when the team is on
offense.

For me Murphy should be coming off the bench when the matchup favors him,
he's not a good enough rebounder or defender to start and he's not the
answer to our center problems . Too Dunleavy's credit he's on the floor 2
hours before game time working his shots, the only other player out there
with him is Baston and sometimes David"the foul waiting to happen" Harrison.
If Dunleavy can get consistent he could be a serviceable shooting or off
guard.
I don't get where Bird is going with the team. I can see what he's trying to
do with the offense, but I don't see where he's going with the defense and
rebounding.
