Interesting question. I don't see how things would work with Lance, Stuckey and Momte all getting meaningful minutes. Even with the assumption that all three were in the right place mentally, you still have three guys who need the ball, aren't that good without it, don't shoot weel from range and aren't great defenders. That's a lot of weakness for the rest of the team to cover. At a minimum I think either Ellis or Stuckey would have to go. Probably Stuckey. Lance would have to buy into Stuckey's current role and he'd have to know that he needed to defer to PG, Ellis and George Hill. Has Lance fallen far enough to buy into those conditions?
I will admit that subbing Lance for Stuckey (a trade the Clips might like) would represent an upgrade in physical talent. And, to contend Pacers more talent than they have now. Not sure if Lance will ever grow up enough to make the risk worth the reward.
