I'll probably get a lot of crap for this post but I don't think it would be crazy for Lanier to come off the bench. Maybe start Gainey instead and let Lanier play his role. It would force us to be less reliant on the 3, and Gainey is much more capable of getting to the basket. Not a terrible 3 point shooter, either.Really steep for the NBA’s minor leagues.

I'm not necessarily say this needs to happen, just that it isn't so crazy of an idea.
Yeah, that could be done. Maybe Chaz even gets the start still but comes out a little quicker if he isn't hot/we don't jump out to a lead.I don’t think that it’s a crazy idea at all. The only bad part is the appearance of demoting Chaz. But the BB media relations staff ought to be able to put a positive spin on it.

I have been trying to watch him some to. Teams now know we only have 2 legit 3 shooters, Chaz and Z, and they are focusing on them and Chaz just seems to be a spot up shooter so he really struggles to get a shot with the close up D on him unlike Z who is great at driving the paint when you try to press him.I watch them all. I see lot of defensive pressure, but I can't read his mind. I see him trying hard to run off of screens but often, there's immediate help on him
Is ZZ a good shooter? He is great at everything else . . . But his shooting - to me - to be pretty bad.I have been trying to watch him some to.

I guess you can look at it as a high level of respect on Chaz but seems coaches got to find new ways to get him open more if there are any.

He definitely has things he needs to improve on but I think when we finally commit as a team to taking it inside/post up/dribble penetration Chaz is going to be scoring a lot more points.When he figures out how to play ball, it could be troubuuelll... lol
