Hahaha, here we go again....
Here is what I wrote:
"...if this guy comes in and plays up to his potential Westphal is going to have a hard time keeping him off the floor."
Yes, if he comes in and does what he does effectively, he should be able to get minutes over Donte at the very least since Donte was still part of a tandem of Casspi/Greene that was only one half of what they needed at SF at all times. Depends on what you need at the position but unless the needs have really changed, defense/shooting was the combo Westphal was looking for last year. Westphal has already said that Honeycutt will probably get quite of bit of bench time to watch, but I'm sure if Honeycutt comes in and plays like he's capable his skill set will be a very obvious need filler to anyone with the ability to see. The skill set is there, Honeycutt is what he is and it fills the needs Westphal is looking for, now it's entirely up to Honeycutt to get those minutes however many or few that may be.
Ok, we need a "floor general" in your opinion but where or when does that "floor general" play? If your team is that in need of such a player you can't just bring somebody in as your 3rd point guard, play them role player minutes, and expect the offense to be fixed over night. Now, a shot blocker can be played like that with some pretty good returns but not your "floor general". I still think this team needs a team based system more than a floor general, this team has play makers coming out of it's ears at this point, put them in the right spots and watch it go. If there is any spot where a floor general is needed, it's right wherever the coach is supposed to sit.
