This allowed jrue to get into a scoring groove which he maintained even when he played pg later. Also dja played really well at pg, passing and scoring.
Also we are weak at the sg position with ddv.
Perhaps we could begin to try Merrill as a backup pg so that the Bucks can try dja as pg and jrue as sg with the other starters for longer periods.
I am not sure but I think Jrue may have been the sg for the Pelicans for the last 2 years when he played really well.
I think moving DJA to the starting line-up as our PG makes sense. I'm just concerned with Merrill running our second unit since he has a really bad handle at this point in his career. DDV has to improve, otherwise, we need to get another back-up serviceable point guard ASAP.
I was hoping Sam could be a 3rd-string PG, but he's proven incapable so far. It's pretty telling when the Bucks lean on Torrey and Thanasis to bring the ball up over Sam. Donte and Bryn aren't much better handling the ball. Really wish we had kept Frank Mason around.
In this scenario you still wouldn't need Sam unless someone gets hurt. You'd just have to stagger things so Jrue is essentially the #2 PG and out there when DJA isn't. Plus, let's not forget Giannis brings the ball up the majority of the time anyway. Granted, I want that to chance but I don't think it's going to happen
