This guy will never win here.
The article says Brown says anyone outside the starting lineup is interchangeable, not just in preseason, in general. I don't care what he does in preseason, but when real games start, the ever changing bench lineups are not a good thing IMO. Last year it messed with some guys game if you ask me, McRoberts and Ebanks to name a few, as for the 2 and the 3 being the same, I disagree, at least when it comes to the difference between Meeks and Ebanks. Ebanks is not a 2 just like Ron is not a 2, it's out of position for them, they aren't guards they're forwards.

If Blake/Duhon trot out together, I'll never make fun of Brown again because it would be awful to make fun of the mentally challenged.

the thing that gives me the most headaches is Tawn at the SF spot...he is 37 and he was even too slow to defend the 3 10 years ago...
potatoe head at it again.

Ebanks has played in one game against Carmelo (12 minutes) and has literally never played against LeBron.

And in the one game he played against Melo, Melo steamrolled him out of the way. He'd have the same problem guarding Lebron too. The coaching staff has been trying to get him to put on more muscle ever since he arrived here.
It's Carmelo Anthony and LeBron James. Everyone has the same problem guarding them.
Look at what Ebanks did to Kevin Durant in the 24 minutes they played against each other on April 22nd. 30 shots to get 31 points. Kevin Durant shot 30% from the field that game while Ebanks was in the game.

As if Mike didn't notice that when Jamison went in at the 3 last game, GS went straight ISO at him two times in a row from the top of the key. I remember they scored once....
What do you think OKC/Miami will do with that?

You mention two guys. (Pietrus?!) Out of the 350 in the NBA. And you want to put that same pressure on Ebanks? A third year player that hasn't even played enough minutes to equal a month of playing time for most NBA stars and you want to extend that same expected level of play? That seemingly one one guy in the league really has?
You're basing your opinion of Ebanks on conjecture right now. He hasn't played against Anthony enough, never played against LeBron and saying that he wouldn't be able to guard him based on the fact that you don't think he's strong enough is just silly. Where is the proof of this. Show me the examples of him getting steamrolled by a bigger guard on the perimeter.
And Mickael Pietrus? lol. Anthony only averaged 44 points per 36 minutes against him this season on 56% shooting. And he drew 4.1 fouls on him in 36 minutes. And Pietrus + James didn't play this year.
And I don't care what Kevin Durant looks like. That adds nothing to the argument. In fact, just proves the point even further. Kevin Durant is probably half as strong as Ebanks right now and he's still out there tearing up the likes of LeBron, DWade, Carmelo and World Peace - those guys that are strong and don't get steamrolled out of the way. And yet Ebanks was able to shut down his shooting?
