Reggie is without question the better individual talent. But Ish has the ability to make his teammates better. It's interesting because I think when Reggie is locked in, he gets Andre locked in. However, Ish does a better job of including KCP, Tobias, and Morris. I really hope Reggie picked up some stuff from Ish while he was injured and can use that to improve his game. As someone said, and I'm too lazy to go back and see who, when Reggie has the ball, other players on the court develop trunk-legs. That does not happen with Ish. Then again, I don't think we can ever choose Ish over Reggie without tanking Reggie's value. Remember what a spurned Reggie was like in OKC's locker room.
Overall, I think Reggie will improve our team as the starter. But that doesn't mean Ish's contributions to the starting lineup were insignificant. Ish showed just how much ball movement can help our team. If Reggie implements that, we will be full throttle ahead. We are at our best when Reggie is our starter AND he realizes that ball movement is the key.
No, its not a fair question at all. A week ago everyone was calling for Ish to be benched for Beno....now he's good enough to overtake our $80m point guard who lead the team to the playoffs last season? Come on guys....you're better than this.
