Rudy, Roy, Outlaw, Aldridge, Oden?

Or any number of ridiculous sick scenarios?

Where will Fry find time? Diogu will be the primary guy off the bench to fill the PF position, he’s not just a throw in. diogu and Frye are both role players, period. we need diogu’s role (power, size, hustle, defense) much more than Frye’s. Aldridge already does everything Frye can, times 2.

Depends who we are playing, match-ups will make the difference on who gets more time, but my moneys on Diogu.. think about… what did we lack last year?? power, hustle, size. defense.. Thats what he will give us off the bench, change of pace.

Where will Frye find time?

Two things.

1.) Channing Frye has the skills to be in any NBA rotation. Frye is an above-average talent with a “ideal” size at the 4. Channing is a 6’11” 245lb forward who can run the floor, shoot from 15 or from the 3-point line, and play in the paint. Frye is a weapon that will not have “set” minutes,... like you (the dynasty) are suggesting by simply clumping the entire season into one statistical form. Foul issues will give Frye more minutes (LMA, Oden, or Pryz), plus Frye is more of an offensive threat than Pryz at the 5, or Diogu at the 4. Because each game is a different story line, Frye will definitely be a player who has 5 minutes one game and 22 minutes another, sure he might average 12 to 18 minutes per game, but he’ll get PT, and lots more if he is effective.

2.) Nate is smart enough to know when and how to create and exploit mis-matches. Channing Frye will be a big cog in Nate’s exploiting plans. A “spread-4” is a very dangerous weapon to have, especially in a second unit. Also, there is no guarantees that a starter won’t go down with injury for some games. This will boost Channings minutes through a portion of the season, and his final stat-book numbers. Nate told Channing before the summer that if he wants more playing time to work on getting his shot ready to nail all over the court and expand his range into 3-point territory. Frye has been working on this all summer and if he shows up a deadly shooter, which is definitely in his capabilities, he will even see more clutch minutes.

You should change your handle as it is too close to mine and I don’t like the way you blog… There I said it, and now I feel better. Think about it…

Why is Diogu the primary guy off the bench smarty pants?

At 3 and 4 years into their careers, Frye and Diogu are role players period? How about all the guys who become starters over time…. too many to list smarty pants.

If Frye comes in with a money 3-ball, then Aldridge doesn’t do everything Frye can times 2.

What we lacked last year in power, size and defense, we are getting a small bump on the first unit named GREG ODEN who may help in those areas. May…

Not to say I don’t like Diogu, but I know Diogu isn’t as developed in terms of BBIQ, which Nate will struggle with, so I envision Diogu getting into the mix slowly this first season, plus Diogu has struggled with health and conditioning to stay healthy, which is the primary focus to build up value and a solid role for a guy like Diogu. Ike has skills, no doubt, but it will take him some time to crack Nate’s line-up… no such thing as a free lunch with the Sarge.

That is why and where Frye will find time.

He provides a role we lack… not to mention this guy was a lottery pick a few years ago. He tore it up at Arizona State… yes, he has room to improve, but we need what he has right now, size, power, defense, hustle

why because they are both thick black guys? They play entirely different games. Diogu is a role player and he fills a role we lack, I like Frye… but we don’t need him much

No. This is how it is. You’re wrong. I know that Greg Oden will start, because . . . . because why? Aren’t you just speculating? You don’t know anything for sure.

Oden will be brought along slowly.
