Blake or Duhon as backup PG...Gotta pick 1

Regular season 2012 stats

Steve Blake

PPG 5.2
FG% 37%
APG 3.3
3FG% .335
MPG 23.3

Chris Duhon

PPG 3.8
FG% .419
APG 2.4
3FG% .420
MPG 19.5

To me this is one of the biggest issues and decisions were gonna encounter this up and coming season. We need to be able to rely on one of these guys to keep Nash at no more than 30mpg in the regular season. Duhon is a better on ball defender and quicker (which isnt a big whoopie) but Blake isn't afraid to at least take big shot open 3 (evident OKC regular season game at Staples and Denver series). Although Duhon shot better from the field and 3fg% its a reason why he didnt play more than 20mpg in Orlando. No matter what you guys want this is the options we have to choose from. Both guys have a problem breaking there man down and getting to the basket and to me that's whats gonna hurt the other players on the 2nd unit more than anything. We know definitely Darius Morris isnt getting any burn.

So pick one Blake or Duhon?

Blake, while he sucks (and so does DUhon), there's at least continuity and he's less TO prone.

Im going Duhon. I know not a lot of people will pick him but I bet by the end of the year he handles on back up point duties. Book It!!!

I'd bet my account he wont. Duhon is not good enough to be in this league. Seriously. I hate blake, duhon I can't hate simply because there's nothing to hate, he simply isn't at pro-level.

Pick a Duke player over a Terp?! - Never!

Regardless, Blake is the superior player and he looked more aggressive than usual in limited minutes last night. Lets hope the "new" bench is more effective this year.

Neither are as awful as you guys make out. The problem with Blake is when he plays too many minutes and has to play against first units and is expected to elevate his game to that level. Blake has been somewhat of a starter the past 2 years.
