The best argument that optimist makes for ET at the point is because that puts your best five on the court at once -- Turner, Buford, Lighty, Diebler and Lauderdale. Anything else, and you're putting talent on the bench. Who do you take off the floor to start Hill or Simmons?
I'm not a fan of the idea of four forwards and a center as a lineup, but that's what we have. At least there's size, and it does give opposing teams some half court nightmares in terms of matchups.
This team was so awful against the press that something needs to be done, otherwise everyone is going to press us all year long. I agree that it's not his natural position, obviously, but it may be better for the team in the long run for Turner to put in a majority of his minutes at PG.
