Give him Bargnanis PT.

I think we need him to be the man on the second unit right now. Next year, hopefully with Garbs back, he will probably be starting.

start over Moon? or Parker?

in all honesty, he should be the 2nd string PG when Jose is resting

yeah, he looked good running the show with dixon playing two. that might work until TJ gets back. But TJ will get back. As for who he starts over, I'd say moon. I think moon could still be a defensive factor on the second unit and he might have an easier time offensively

He was always was good enough to start but why not have a good player come off your bench..why is it EVERY TIME someone has a good game they should start?

Delfino has really good ball handling skills and he has the size on most PGs.

I love it when he finds Kapono for the open shot. :clap:

Parker has been on fire lately and Moon is our most valuable defender.

I think we should leave him coming off the bench BUT I think that he should also become the back-up PG when Jose sits. I've seen enough off the 2-headed disaster.

Good enough to start but shouldn't. We need him off the bench for his scoring punch.

Does it matter? Give it three games and everyone on the board will be talking about his poor shooting and liability on defence. Until he shows more consistently I would let him come off the bench and keep working towards consistency.

I can't really argue with the assertion that moon is our most valuable defender. we'd give up some defensive toughness in our starting lineup by replacing him with delfino, but delfino does his share on the boards, he shares the ball better, and he'd probably score more. you think delfino's defense is that bad?

i think he is going good off the bench this year, maybe next year he will start.

Waive D-Mart and Dixon. Or trade them, if possible.

Delfino should be the backup PG. Looks like he would do fine - and certainly can't do worse than the two headed craptastrophe that backs up Calderon right now.

Nope. Delfino is a very good defender. Probably the best man-to-man guy on the team.

It's not that he's not good enough to start, I'm just not sure if it's necessary. He'll ge this minutes of the bench.

Delfino has been quite the steal for just two 2nd round picks, I think we should all be happy as long as he performs well with the minute he's given and more importantly, we keep winning games

I like what Delfino brings off the bench, so I'd leave well enough alone.

It's not a question of "is he good enough to start"

It's a question of how do we balance our roster properly?

With his ability to handle the ball a bit and create a bit, we need him on the 2nd unit to prop it up since our 2nd unit PG's suck dong

i still dont get why dmart still gets pt sometimes, all he does is bring the ball up then hand it to delfino, just make delfino the backup pg and play joey.
