First of all, why didn't the team pull Xavier Munford up? The guy was looking good in Swarm. Shooting 40% from 3. Performed well for MEM last spring. I understand Munford went to Europe but if CHA gave him a call up to the NbA you think he would have stayed?
Then McCallum? Honestly, his style of play is more like Sessions, not a 3 pt shooter. His jersey says DRIVE. Still, WHY CALL HIM UP IF YOU"RE NOT GOING TO PLAY HIM? when you've got a PG crisis? Really? Is the offense that hard to learn? McCallum's played for San Antonio before. You're gonna hurt Roberts' feelings? Seriously, I'm confounded.
What grinds my gears is that there supposedly could be the argument that Brian Roberts is more steady and reliable than McCallum. He's a veteran, you know, has been around the team, all that jazz.
Yet he hasn't really played like one. IMO, not knowing the clock is the cardinal sin for a point guard. The PG should always know the clock, the score, the team fouls. And B-Rob closed out one quarter last game by passing to MKG in the corner as the buzzer sounded.
That's not even a particularly difficult situation or anything. You have 8 seconds left? Go down the court and throw up a freaking pull up jumper at least.
He's had a couple of plays like that where you just have to groan. One would expect him not making errors like that.
