Why Greg Can Wait

Offensively I think Portland has to look more to LaMarcus and Brandon, and let Greg clean up the scraps with putbacks, lobs when defenders are sleeping, etc.

Let's face it, Greg is still lumbering and awkward when he posts up. He is prone to travel or foul. People tend to stand around when he's making his move, and if he's doubled, people seem surprised to get the kick out. Greg is shooting such a high percentage because of his putbacks and easy baskets, not because of his ability to create one-on-one. If you want to use him as an offensive weapon, then put him in there with the second unit.
