PG Heat: Strong 4th Quarter Leads to 4th Straight

[Siefer]

I think overplaying Prince is a sneaky significant sin. He's dragging the starting unit down.

Yeah, last season the Bucks starters with Middleton and Beasley were a crazy +11 or something, but they hardly played (less than 30% of the minutes). This season, starting units have sucked but bench units have been strong. A small tinker could significantly change that, 'cause starters should be your crunch-time guys (usually).

Green is a better defender of SG (easily) than Prince and is just as much of a gravity player in terms of being a 3-point threat. He should be starting yesterday.

He has way more gravity than Prince. Teams routinely leave the corners open regardless of who's there, but they belly up on Green wherever he goes. Any space he gets he has to make for himself. When he makes an open 3, it's like an automatic timeout for the other team. "How the hell could you let that happen" vibes. Dame gets that kind of attention on the perimeter, but it's not solely because of the shooting like it is with Green.

I don't disagree with you, just didn't want to sell TP short given his 3-point shooting this year. But Green is more versatile and also I think better at shifting to a better open spot off the bounce.

AJ Green is better at everything than Prince other than probably guarding PF. In the things that matter to a SG on our team, he's so much better.

prince is clutch af if hes open but hes a slow mover. green as a jumpshooter is streakier.

prince also can make a straight line to the basket and finish from time to time where green has no interest.

but green also seems like he can guard 1-4. homey is a tree stump on d. reminds me of marcus smart lite version in his prime. we really need a guy who can move against smalls and prince cant.

love gtj and prince and what theyve done here but green has sooooo much potential with the current guys. theres no question green needs to be starting with the current unit. gtj and prince off the bench is what this season was supposed to be anyway. them starting was worst case
