![]() I think going into this season we're going to be fine, but if injuries become an issue at the wing this season (not to mention Parker's not a spring chicken anymore) we might run into some problems.

![]() Hopefully between Adams, Moon and Kaps(all pretty hardy guys) the toll on AP wont be that bad. I would like to see AP not have to guard the best player on the other team for a change and be able to focus on his offense a bit more(hense brining in adams)

![]() Also keep in mind that he raised the issue of defense from those positions.
When you've got an All-NBA defender down low, it makes a big difference in the approach towards perimeter defense as well. AP will still likely have to guard the other team's best player (given that player is a 2/3), but yeah, he should get a little more time off it this year than in the past. |

![]() If Moon ever can become the Tayshawn type of player that I think he will, he would be able to guard the other teams best wing, he certainly has the speed, reach etc to become a player like Prince.

![]() Moon is very efficient at generating possessions and while his offense in terms of points scored is not amazing, those stls, blks, rebs and low TO combine into a great force. Consider how Moon(8.5 ppg) has a FIC40 of 13.6 and Maggette (22.1 ppg) has a FIC40 of 13.2. That 13.6ppg is a huge amount to overcome yet Moon still outscores Corey.
AP is rock solid and always does the right thing. His type of experience and leadership are needed on all good teams. Kapono is the best shooter in the league and his playoff clutch performance show his value. Adams is still too new to start but as long as he can create possessions like Moon and exposes gaps for dunks he'll fit in nicely. |

![]() Major, Moon is the 6th worst SF in terms of turnovers in the league.
I think that if Moon gan get his PPG average up to double digits and reduce his turnover while continuing all the other things he does so well(#1 rebounder in his position) then I will be very happy indeed with him as our starting SF. |

I think guys like AP are really going to benefit from not having to worry about cheating towards the paint to help inside. |
