At least he does not hurt us or take bad shots. I just want to kick Barry in the nuts sometimes. Watch him shoot sometimes. He rushes every shot and rarely follows through on his shot.

On a side not: Dayum Ravern can shoot it!!!!

He might knock down an open shot when his man forgets about him - but who can't do that. Benock sits in the corner and doesn't move and he doesn't help on the offensive boards.

He plays his role and does it well. He is not supposed to come in the game and be Vinny "the microwave" Johnson. His job is to give our guards a breather, play decent defense, and knock down open shots, period. We don't need him to score. That being said he does not need to be in for much more than 7-8 minutes a game.

I have respect for Riley and I wish he had better skills. I don't really understand what you are saying about his role being to knock down open shots but don't need him to score, but whatever.

The problem is that he has a hard time stopping his guy from dribbling by him or scoring over the top of him. Also, he doesn't really look comfortable having to take a shot or pass the ball.

You make a good point though about him being able to give the other guys a breather.

I don't understand how Stewart starts over Turner...Stewart takes horrible shots, and I don't understand why everyone calls him an excellent defender...he is an average, at best, defender...
