Problem being we don't have any internal options - Stuckey is banged up, Billups is old and finished, Bynum is the absolute drizzling **** and Singler is a back-up SF in the NBA.
We need to try and move CV's expiring (and Bynum) for a veteran 2-guard off a tanking team who deserves better their last year or two in the league.
No, I don't want to lose sight of the overall picture here. We have the youngest starting unit in the league right now and we need to keep developing guys like KCP. He needs to be out there working on getting the shot to drop as much as possible. Right now his mistakes are just mental probably trying to hard (missing open lay ups and such). Once the game slows down for him he will be much improved. Also I don't think we should even risk moving Stuckey because this is the best role Hes ever played.
I agree on KCP, however I'm not sold on Stuckey. If you look at his numbers in December, they're a far cry from where they were in November when he was lighting it up.
NOV (15 GP): 12.5 FGA for 49.5% FG, 1.6 3PT attempts for 37.5%, 2.4/1.7 A/TO ratio, scoring 16.9 PPG
DEC (8 GP): 11 FGA for 38.6% FG, 1.0 3PT attempts for 12.5%, 1.9/2.1 A/TO ratio, scoring 11.9 PPG
That said, it's impossible to know how much his recent injuries may have played a role in those decreased numbers. If his decreased production is all injury based then I'm all for keeping him. However, at this point if we traded him for a good SG (Courtney Lee, for example) who can shoot the 3 really well and plays good defense and move KCP to the bench until he's more seasoned, I probably wouldn't hesitate.
,you really have to feel bad for that other 10%.
