Non of them are true PG, but I'm not even sure that's a real thing anymore, and all 3 can handle the ball. Duren even has some handles for a big. Stew is the only guy you really dont want touching the ball unless he's shooting an open shot or rebounding.BadMofoPimp wrote:Should move Cade to SF and obtain a true Point Guard.
I can imagine a world where, with player development & good coaching, we don't need another PG. We just need to continue internal development.
That is of course purely hypothitical and not a promise. *shrug*
If that true PG is also good at catch and shoot threes for when we ISO Ivey or Cade I think it makes a lot of sense. That's why part of me is still liking Tyus Jones. Great AST to TO ratio, "veteran PG" who knows how to control the flow of a game, playoff experience, still young enough to fit with our core, etc.
I really think we might benefit most from a PG who is able to control the tempo and flow of the game as well as able to catch and shoot threes to space the floor. Jrue Holiday, Chris Paul, and Mike Conley are all FAs this summer too but I have a feeling we're not landing any of them.
It's kind of like if we had 2001 RIP and Billups together (which we didn't) Billups wasn't quite where he needed to be at that point but he went to Minnessota and learned from backing up Terrell Brandon. Learning how to make the right play at the right time and learning how to pace the game is crucial to being successful we've seen all season long where mistakes start to snowball because we don't have a vet in there to calm the troops and make sure we get a good look when we need it to stop a run.
