Who'd you take if you had to choose one to start at PG on your team?

The one that can stay on the court all season.

TJ is good, but man, I feel bad for him

I think I prefer TJ more as a point guard. He's a much better play maker than Barbosa, who's more of a shooting guard.

I think TJ is better at the point, but Barbosa's the better scorer.

Since the question isn't who's better but who would you want starting at PG, I'll take TJ Ford.

I'll have TJ as my point and Barbosa as my two guard.

Edit: Can you imagine how fast they'd be bringing up the ball?

Without the "who do you want as PG?" caveat, I'd take Barbosa. But running the point, I'd have to go with Ford.

For the Raptors right now? I'd rather have Barbosa.

As a point guard, T.J is definitely better running the show.

But all things considered, Barbosa might be more valuable...

if you were allowed to play helmets when playing basketball I would pick TJ Ford. However, you are not, so I pick the player who is not one quick neck jerk from a sneeze away from his career being over.

Barbosa scares me though, he reminds me of a better shooting, less bulky Marbury.

Pre-injury, in some alternate universe where TJ didn't have a history of spinal issues, I would take TJ, as he is an actual PG, not a pure-scoring combo-guard like Barbosa. But TJ's career is very possibly over with the next big hit he takes, so I'll take Barbosa easily.
