Did you not see how much better the Nuggets played when JR was running the point for about 10 minutes a game?
It was definitely something worth developing. It forces him to pass the ball. It gives him responsibility he doesn't have at SG. I mean, we're talking about how to work with JR. If he just had consistent minutes he could develop his game.
And anyway, we're also talking about how to share minutes at pg so Carter and AI don't get worn down. Sometimes you look at someone's game and know he's not ideal for the position - but at least he gives the others resting a chance to get their wind back.
There were times when he had AI and we had Carter running the point where we were getting blown out against the Suns. If you need to throw someone else in there....who else is there? At least we can say we had everyone ready to play if they got minutes.
The result is still a result of who they put on the team.
I would go with Carter/AI starting backcourt, transition to AI/Yak, try out JR/Yak or JR/AI, and then finish off with probably Carter/AI or just whoever has done the best that night.
