After the blowout in Miami today (it was expected) is it to soon for a line up change at the 2 position?
Ellington has looked below average for the Wolves and with the Magic and Hawks in the next 3 days, we need someone who can score points effectively and play defense.
I think Wesley should have a crack at starting at either the 2 or 3 spot (depends if Beasley is out tomorrow with his injury)
SG numbers for the first 4 games so far are:
Ellington - 28 mins, 2 rebs, 1.3 asts and 9.8 pts - 36% FG, 50% FT
Brewer - 20 mins, 3 rebs, 1.8 stls and 5.3 pts - 27% FG, 63% FT
Wesley - 23 mins, 4.3 rebs, 2 asts and 11.0 pts - 36% FG, 68% FT
All three guards are shooting woeful, but Brewer and Wes can get to the line and hit FTs consistently. Brewer leads the team in steals with 7 and has just 4 TOs.

Pretty sure the only reason Wes isn't starting is because the medical staff has told Rambis to limit him for a little bit.

Re: Time for a line up change at SG?
i'd like to start a petition to bring back Iggy Rakocevic. We know he can shoot, he can handle the ball better than any of those 3, and he's not going to play any worse D than Wayne-O is.
