then why didn't you draft him? Monster Mash is a three not a four anyway. I also intend on having Schrempf play most of the bench minutes at four and three, Horace is there to exploit match ups.
I needed more shooting on my bench, while Ellis is one of the best sharp shooters of all time, that’s still not enough considering English wasn’t a three point shooter. While yes, he’s a 3, he’s 6-8 240lb’s. Exactly what Joe Johnson was at with the jazz, and he was more affective as a stretch 4 then a 3. So he has the strength and height to guard 4’s. Also, if you watch his highlights in a single game you will see that a big part of his game was postup in the paint, so we are talking about a guy that is athletic enough to guard 3’s and has the measurable sand strength to guard bigger 4’s.
But let’s be honest, in today’s game 4’s aren’t banging and playing inside anymore, and considering this league where every C is a stud, and needs to be playing inside, your 4 is going to be mostly on the perimeter, which is why I don’t have a single traditional 4, outside of O’Neal who is my backup C. Mashburn is a situational player for me who can play the 3 or 4 and O’Neal can switch between the 4-5 for me with no problem.
Horace is nothing more then a role player, does everything well for a big, but can’t really play on the perimeter, not explosive enough to play the 5 as he is on the small side, but plays big so if he has to guard on the perimeter he’ll have a hard time and in affective on the perimeter of offense. He does many things well but nothing at a great or elite level. Nance on the other hand is a good offensive player and defensive player because of his elite level athleticism which by the way helps him to be a good rim protector and defender on the perimeter. He’s just so much better on every level, Horace is just a role player that doesn’t belong in this.
