I know Brewer and Miller can play SG but I consider them both SF's when it's all said and done. So is McCants our only true SG?

yeah probably, but with foye, brewer, miller and carney, we have plenty of people that will CAN play SG.

Can Carney play SG?

Brewer might be more of a SG than SF for the moment, his size/speed seems more suited to guarding SGs than SFs. Especially with SFs getting more beastly season by season.

Once Brewer eats a cheeseburger, he'll be a SF, but until then, he's a SG.

Either way, Miller and Brewer on the floor together fill each others' faults well enough that they'd be a very effective 2/3 combo.

There was a few times last season where he was put in the 3 spot, I believe.

I recall him playing SF most of the time, but he always seemed way overmatched in the muscle dept

As I recall, rev is a big fan of Shaddy as a 3, at least while playing zone. I don't think it's much of a long term solution, though. At the very least it hurts rebounding. I think Shad got bit a bunch in transition, too.

stats wise he played well there ,hes rebounding wasnt bad there either

For a 3? Yeah it was.

I didn't like Shad at the 3 at all and don't see any reason to play him there.

I think he is our only pure SG as the question asks.

To be fair I liked it as a once in a while option. Defensively it is not a long term solution. But if we wanted to go small, push the tempo and stretch the floor it could be a good option. Of course, having Mike Miller means we would not need Shad at the 3 to stretch the floor.

I like having various options in the line-ups. Playing the chess game.

btw, this is my first post back.

hey rev, good to have you back. now TF21 won't be seen for a while, aight?

Run children, Daddys home!

yes shottie, is our only sg, but i think that our team needs more position players, by that i mean we have too many guys that are tweeners. i could be wrong but lets check to see how many teams over the last 10yrs have won championship with having a bunch of tweeners at the 1,2,3. positions. just a thought.......

Foye is or only real shooting guard...

too badwe want to make him a point guard

Agreed, Foye is a true SG, he just has playmaking and passing abilities like Kobe and Wade.

I like Foye at PG better. He seems way too passive playing off the ball.

So do Wade/Kobe/Peirce

All of them play with the ball in their hands. Most of them create the offense. Most of them rely on a point guard to bring the ball up anhd then givwe them the ball, it conserves their energy that way. That is the type of player Foye should be

interesting, I guess I never really looked at Foye as that kind of player - an iso volume scorer guy, I always had him pegged as a Chauncey kinda guy. He doesn't seem to have that kind of one on one ability. Rashad seems a clear level above him in iso ability.
