Quote:He's been terrible for 2 years.  They plugged a guy that played terribly at guard into the starting center spot, and in 2 pre-season games he's still terrible.

 

Now, is it possible that he miraculously improves?  Sure.

 

What do I think?  I think his trend of terrible play continues.  He's just not that good.  It's questionable whether he's a serviceable backup even, IMO.

 

He's awful at guard. I don't agree that he's awful at center. He snapped much better last night... The whiff on the block and the holding penalty were glaring, but there were some okay moments. Just my opinion, if he can't hold onto the starting OC job, he won't make the final 53. As it stands today, I see Linder being our starting OC and McClendon sliding into guard. Bowanko will back up both, I think, once he's healthy.
