What we need is a Marbury type point guard--A penetrator that can dish and shoot a little.
Our second unit has three spot up shooters---House, Sheed, Baby. That said, we need a slasher and penetrating point to go to work with that floor spread out.
Walker and TA both fit the slasher role; both can get to the line and play D and I believe in both.
The point guard is what we really need.
Dam I wish we could hold on to Steph; he is the perfect second unit guy and could easily run the first unit in a pinch.
Pruitt is decent, but we need a 1 that can get to the basket and/or dish with the floor spread. Pruitt is more of a shooter that passes and goes to a spot and doesnt really penetrate or have a command when he is running things.
Hudson=?????????????who knows
Considering Rondo is penciled in for 40+ mpg, I'd say our biggest need is a backup SF.
We won't be able to compete in June unless we can keep Paul between 30-35 mpg through the reg season. On the other hand, Eddie House played 5-10 mpg at backup pg during our title run, and he is still reliable at that spot.
