So, what how do yall think this will pan out? I think this will help with the perimeter scoring some if he is able to stick around Also did anyone else read this while they were half asleep and see a Wizards jersey on the pic then thought Neal said Beal. I got excited but really confused.

Practice body/situational shooter.

I THINK...

This provides some insurance for the guard rotation, but will likely lead to few tangible benefits. This will likely just be a footnote to the season.

DS and Delaney are entrenched at PG.

Baze/Thabo/TH Jr receive most of the minutes at SG & SF. Plus Mike Dunleavy is added to the SF spot.

I imagine Taurean and/or Bembry goes back to the D-League. That's pretty much the only difference I think this makes.

Yea this isn't really a big deal, and I don't think it will be unless someone gets hurt.

It was random. I thought with the Korver trade it was supposed to get more minutes for Bremby and Hardaway but I guess Bud may not trust them still.

He has historically been more of a combo but he knows we are going to push him toward that point guard spot as a third point guard. The way we play, lots of guys can handle (the ball) and initiate offense. When the ball is moving and everybody is moving there is not quite as much pressure to be that traditional point guard. I think he will fit in well with the way we play.

That sounds like a bad idea. I liked Neal, but he shouldn't be playing PG. He has tunnel vision and is far more effective off the ball.
