Who plays the 4 and who plays the 5 Topic

The guy whose "natural" position is PF has better SPD, BH, P and PERI - so I would tend to assume he should play the 4

BUT, he also has much superior BLK which I think is best used at the 5

Views on how to balance these factors? who plays center?

Is it Man or Zone?

In a vacuum, the bottom guy is a better 4 than the other dude.

In man i would probably play the Sr/5 vs the better offensive post player.

Good question - man

Might be that the answer will be to move them around depending on matchups - if I remember!

I would definitely default to playing the PF at PF and the C at C. Most PFs are still sufficiently interior-focused scorers, if they're scorers at all, that there isn't a huge inherent advantage to having higher shot blocking at the 5 vs. the 4. I'd rather have the guy with better ball skills at the 4. With that being said, neither of them is a particularly impressive scorer, so it doesn't matter a ton. I'm with TJ, I'd tend to rotate the stronger defender onto the more dangerous scorer on my opponent's team.

You're sold on Davidson over Sison?

because of the shot blocking, i'd use the PF at C

At least initially, I go with Davison over Sisson because of his IQ edge

And Sisson will get about the same minutes as our first backup at both the 4 and the 5.
