Webber will rebound better than Pietrus. That's all you need to know here.
we've been playing Pietrus and Barnes way to many minutes at the 4 spot. Webber is better than the both of them at the big man spot.
A three big man rotation will help out tremendously.
So he should rebound better than Pietrus and Barnes at the four. And he needs to rebound better than Al at the five. Hell Al at the four as well.
My moneys on a gimpy Webber.
The passing is extremely important to us playing well. When we get stagnant and force up long jump shots without moving the ball, then we get into our bad stretches.
With ball movement we get easy shots. Webber might be the best passing big man of all time. You don't forget how to pass. You can pass the ball on one leg.
This is a playoff move the Warriors are making. Webber's built for the half court style of the playoffs.
Don't compare the Detroit Pistons to the Warriors. The Warriors play more of a style closer to the one he played in Sacramento when they were good.
Ball movement.
Webber will live at the FT line to the top of the key on either elbow. And from there he will help to initiate offense when he's in there.
If he can consistantly hit shots from that FT to the top of the key, then everything else will open up.
