I was going to say Kukuc too. Shawn Marion if Duncan plays center. Lebron could do it when playing Okur in Utah or against Memphis' current small lineup or Atlanta with Horford being the same height.

There is one guy out of NBA, currently playing in Macccabi Tel Aviv:

Nikola Vujčić, cener with a PG court vision. :nod:

He could easily come to the NBA this summer.

Joey who?


Heh, agreed. Graham stated a couple weeks ago that he could play 1-5, and since then it has become a forum joke, largely because he can't play any position on the court competently.

KG is definitely not because he can't bring the ball against the quick guards, anybody smaller than 6-10 actually. He's 7 feet! pls.

LeBron and Odom are the best candidates. Both played those positions in their career. LeBron can easily defend the guards I've seen it numerous times. Especially in crunch time. Tony Parker and Jose Calderon just comes to my mind he defended them really well. He was also quite good in defending the center in Atlanta game this season. It was also in the crunch time.

BTW Jugoplastika, there's no way Vujcic can play PG. He's a great passer and his court vision is top class but these are not enough to play PG. And If Vujcic was in the NBA, none of the coaches would put him in the game because of his defensive handicaps. I love his game on Euro level btw.
