I guess my point is that we could fill this void without getting a backup point guard per se.



From that point, I could say if the Grizz were not to make a move based on the backup PG situation, then maybe try Mike Miller at backup like a point forward situation where he did some time once before. I can't say how effective it would be since Miller isn't the same player he was 5 to 6 years ago.

Another thing to look at. When TA gets back, he's likely to be back in the starting lineup with Lee coming off the bench.

To me this would effect Miller on minutes alone. Hence the mentioning of the point forward idea.

I do think that could work.

I like how they are giving Nick around 10-15 minutes per game these last 10 or so. The problem is he is -6.1 in plus/minus this season. That just doesn't cut it.

Conley is playing about 3 more minutes per game than his career average. I like Nick, but not sure how much longer we can do this.
