Love the thread LC!

Andersen's numbers vs Nielsen's can not be ignored. He should start over Nielsen, however like AB4E said, it is irrelevant as both will play plenty of minutes in a rotation with Bogut and Maric/Jawai.

BTW, what's up with Maric getting junk minutes, then starting the next game, then back to junk minutes again??? It's baffling when coaches make those kind of decisions. Not to mention detrimental to the confidence level of Maric..

On current form alone, can Brett Brown go with Maric over Jawai?

Sorry to bust in on the love being shared...but here are the results from overnight:

Barcelona defeated Bennet Cantu 65-60 in Euroleague.

Brad Newley is moving to Spain after agreeing to terms on a contract with Valenci until the end of this current season.

Brad Newley started the season with Lietuvos Rytas. He tallied 3.3 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.0 steal per game in Euroleague Qualifying Round. In VTB League Brad Newley posted 2.4 points and 3.2 rebounds. The Aussie also notched 4.5 points and 3.4 boards per game in LKL.

Newley joins fellow Aussie AJ Ogilvy on Valencia's roster. Let's hope a new team can allow him to rediscover his form...

http://www.eurobasket.com/Eurocup/basketball.asp?NewsID=255528

Totally agree Avv on the Olympics being a great platform from which to launch, or in the case of Maric and Newley, re-launch their careers. If Bogut plays, Maric may not get the opportunity of decent minutes to show much though...

Newley struggled for consistent minutes prior to appendicitis, and since returning he has struggled even more for minutes. Definitely a concern, along with Maric, but also Ingles at Barcelona as well.

Newley has struggled for any decent minutes since returning a few weeks ago from appendicitis. Can't crack the rotation it seems.

After a few years in lithuania it could be time for him to look for greener pastures as with Maric.

No better place than the olympics to get back on people's radars....

And it looks like Andersen is physically in Italy still going by this article dated 19/12 so why he was listed as having played in the Hornets pre-season game is very weird...
