I pretty much agree with you Chap, though if Clark earns more minutes than Gani, thats good for Clark.
I still think the right move, assuming we don't sign a useable 'big', is to put the best of Lawal, Siler or Clark at the PF spot on the second unit and hope like Hell he develops fast over the course of the year because we may scrape into the playoffs with a wimpy 2nd unit frontcourt but we will not get deep. Its a gamble and it might keep us out of the playoffs altogether but, the way I look at the game, its close to a no-brainer.
If we had a powerhouse frontcourt for the first unit it wouldn't be as good a gamble but we can't be getting killed on the boards all game long. Obviously the team is demonstrating even worse problems right now but I'm assuming those things will get righted in fairly short order. If not, even the regular season will be sorry to watch.
