I feel Britt & Berry will do fine in Marcus absence. Remember Stillman can come in also to play some point.
The B& B brothers will be fine in the backcourt.
- Thread starter smooth as butter
- Start date
Berry and Britt have very good stats together, I read a post on another site that that tandem is actually better (production wise) than Paige/Britt or Paige/Berry.
I'm too lazy to put the effort into the research, and I won't drag somebody else's work over here . . but, the poster is a highly respected fan and I have no doubt of his work.
I posted on the Paige injury thread that IMO, the backcourt crew of Nate, Joel, Theo, Stilman and Kenny would be more than adequate for getting the work done for us.

I might be in the minority here and that is fine but I will stick to me guns and will continue to back Britt in both good and bad times. Berry's presence will make Britt and Paiges game look so much better especially when he goes to the hole something neither Britt or Paige like to do much Britt or Paige do much.
Dunk, I like Britt too and pull for him to improve, do well and thrive.
I also believe he'll probably be best suited to come off the bench when Marcus is back, just because of the speed he'll be able to deliver midway/late in the first half.
Also, if he's continued to work on his shooting he'll provide another outside threat the team definitely needs.
I am just glad we have who we have. Knowing that, I am not worried at all about the situation while Marcus is away. Marcus is that guy with the intangibles and the ability to take over a game when he is needed and you can't replace that. With that said, Britt and Berry both showed flashes of that at times last year and I really like he and Berry together on the court.
I think we are fine right now, but I want Marcus back as soon as possible and WHEN he is healthy enough to play.

I love what Britt brings and at this point nobody questions Berry! The beautiful thing about this is that this year we can absorb the loss of MP better than any recent year! We have the talented depth that will allow him to wait until completely healed before coming back. This and the added PT for KW will pay great dividends later in the season. I hope he is back by MD, but I think we will be able to hang with even them if need be.
This is going to be a fun ride!

Billy, I don't have all my notes from last season handy for the exact numbers, but IIRC they did well together. Granted, it was a relatively small sample space statistically speaking, but the team numbers were quite good. It's one of the reasons I've said that Nate is more effective for us off the ball with JB running point. Offensively I think they will do fine, and as you said we have a deeper and more capable backcourt crew this season.
This may very well be true. That said, I'll still take our chances with a Paige/Berry backcourt if/when both are healthy over a Paige/Britt or Berry/Britt combo - even if it goes against the aforementioned statistics.
Yep . . it'd be kinda stupid to not have a senior Marcus Paige not starting if he's healthy.
