I have no problem with Jordan starting as pg. We need another pg on the roster obviously, but Rysheed will be fine as the starter playing with 2 wings.
That's not a concern for me. I'd like to see us add a little more scoring punch. Lovett could help with that in the sense that he can score a little and would enable Jordan to play off the ball.
But if we end up with Jordan playing PG and Durrand J off the ball, that's fine, as long as we add a SF or another SG capable of starting.
Exactly, Sheed can be our starting pg and flourish at it IMO, we just need a backup on the roster.
I agree he has all the skills to flourish as our pg. On the other hand, he looked really good last year when playing off the ball, and I think he could be even better next year at the 2 with a point guard that could get him the ball in a better position to score (which I think is jordan's strongest asset). I think his shooting %s go way up if he plays off the ball. A lot really depends on what the other option is (i.e. who will be the other sg or pg), which seems up in the air right now.
I think he just looked really good late last year playing on and off the ball. His whole game came together. But your point is well taken and I am all for Sheed playing off the ball plenty, just disagree with the notion that we cant win big with him at the point.
I agree with you guys completely. I think, in general, Sheed was great in the second half of the season.
I also see a good argument for why he may be better suited playing off the ball. There's some good rationale for that.
And a lot depends on who else we add. But if Sheed is the starting point guard, that's not going to be a weakness.
The key is finding another piece in the backcourt, if it's a pg great, if it's a combo or shooter .. that's fine too.
