Well, we could play Lance as a PG and have Ben operate as a spot up shooter.

Not out of the realm of possibilities that we wouldn't be that much worse, like we aren't that much worse without Granger. We would be a lot cheaper though.


We did see how bad we were without Granger early this season until Paul George stepped up. We started 4-7 I think. But when Granger comes back, doesn't that make us that much better if PG continues to play like this, and Stephenson gets to be a 6th man? Maybe our offense will become respectable.

Granger's return will make us better, no doubt about that, I just don't expect it will make a huge difference for our offense. Respectable, average offense at best would be my guess. Not sure the defense wouldn't be worse with George defending midget twos again, Granger on MeloBrons and I have my doubts about Stephenson being the go-to-guy from the bench unit as well.

I don't mind to be wrong though :)
