From what I understand...Chili is a lock at center.<br /><br />From what I understand, Tanveer is even more of a high post player than Sim was. He's more of a mid-range range threat, so if he starts, it'll be at the PF.<br /><br />The question is, will MM start a more athletic and mobile player over Tanveer? I doubt it. Tanveer was on the bench at every game last year. He was recruited by high majors. I feel like Menzies will go with Tanveer knowing that he's going to be super deep at that position if Tanveer doesn't produce. Unless Anthony January is eligible and too good to not start. <br /><br />Good problem to have for Menzies.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3319260418553490797.post-25376740502080006372014-08-12T09:10:53.096-06:002014-08-12T09:10:53.096-06:00Very good points on Chili and Tanveer, I think we ...Very good points on Chili and Tanveer, I think we are all guilty of assuming Tanveer picks up where Sim left off. Being power forward rich is a definite luxury, although we may be center rich if Chili plays at center. Curious if Jonathan Wilkins development behind Tanveer pushes Chili to the starting forward spot. I like Tanveer starting at the center with Chili on his hip to push his development (Chili is outspoken and vocal, I would bet he keeps Tanveer on task in the paint). Like watching Sacramento this summer, I sure hate to see exceptional size sitting on the bench. Tanveer appears to be more agile and better conditioned to run the floor than his older brother so maybe we don’t set up and wait for him on offense. We can always adjust during games and move Chili to the center and bring in the young, long armed, sleek forwards and press and run for a change of pace. Everybody loves to run, gun and press …… right up until you run yourself out of the game in the first half. Let’s go size and strength early with Tanveer at Center, Chili at power forward, DK and DMull at the guard spots and Ian bringing the ball up. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
