I think ed can be very good. This off season him and Big V need to practice with Hakeem together, those two could be a big time duo for us. Imagine those big to big passes for easy dunks.

JV will benefit much more from Hakeem's teaching. I was amazed at his little fade shot, and that his footwork is so solid at his age. Basically his fade, as well as his running hook, look like moves that he's trying to copy straight out of Olajuwon's game.

Boozer is just too powerful for Ed at this stage.
Thad Young I feel like most of his points came from Holiday penetration with Ed helping and leaving Thad
Henson was playing against the second unit most of the time I think
You make a very good point though.
I think that's the most disheartening thing about watching the team play with Bargs. See them defend strongly (even Bargs) for 22 seconds, but once the shot is up, Bargs shuts down, and the other team crashes the glass for an easy 2 pts.
Also, Henson did have a fair amount of minutes against Ed as well. Kind of unavoidable with how thin we are up front right now. It's ok though. Also have to remember that Ed came off the bench most of his career, so now he's facing better competition. Most bench bigs don't score too well and don't have lots of moves, so part of his struggles are unavoidable for now.Last edited by white men can't jump; Mon Jan 21, 2013, 10:59 AM.

I'm indifferent with Davis. I still don't see a star player in him. Just a role player who happens to be making the most of a very thin front court rotation.
I still believe one of Davis or Amir needs to go, but with Davis playing well lately, he might be worth more in a trade right now. When was the last time the Raptors traded a player while his stock was high (Antawn Jamison perhaps)?

Ed is still a serious liability on defense, he can't create his own shot and is not a threat in the post. And he failed to get significantly stronger the past two off seasons despite strength being identified as a major weakness.

If you look at Ed's two numbers then you can see where Hollinger is coming from. 15% TOV and just 14% Usage. That's pretty bad. Compare that with this year and you see a massive improvement -- 11% TOV and 18% USG.your pal,
