    Point Guard Update.....

    Written by Mike Wells



    Point guard update

    Lance Stephenson, who scored a career-high 12 points against the Hawks, will continue to get playing time, but it will be mainly at shooting guard.
    Starter Darren Collison and backup George Hill will be the point guards when they are on the court with Stephenson.

    Vogel will run plays with Stephenson handling the ball, but his primary role will be at shooting guard.



    In other news, Danny's lockout lunch with BLF workers is going to be Sunday......

    glad they are playing Lance at his natural position. Much easier for him to play his natural position than play pg which he looks like a lost puppy at(which to me is to be expected) when he is the only PG on the foor. Good move Vogel.

    and good for Danny glad he is keeping his word the workers deserve it.

        Ok, fair enough. When Lance and Hill were on the floor together, I considered Lance the PG and Hill the SG. Hill brought the ball up and passed to Lance, who initiated the offense.

        Regardless, I haven't yet liked Stephenson/AJ on the floor together, and I'm not sure I'd like Stephenson/Collison. For now, I'd only play Stephenson at the 2 when Hill was the PG, and I'd still play Hill predominately at the 2.

          I know "Sleeze" is spelled incorrectly. I spell it this way because it's based on a name.

            For Lance to succeed they need to just let him play with his instincts. He's the only player you can clear-out and run ISO plays for so why not let him do it. He's a player like Von Wafer or Gilbert Arenas (pre-injury). Just give him the ball and get out of the way.

            He'll be better in this role. He also is a willing passer and is pretty good at passing off the dribble so if he drives and draws a double-team, he'll try to hit the open man.

              Good... even when Lance was a rookie a certain bench coach thought his best position was SG.

                Exciting! Maybe this means we'll see a paradigm shift, and Dahntay will be phased out while PG is phased in more.

                  Great to see that. He's definitely a SG and while he's out there, Hill is better at the point.

                  He and Hill played off each other nicely Wednesday and I expect solid scoring from both moving forward.

                  Also, nice to see what Danny's doing.

                      I still don't get what the big deal about whether or not you call him a 1 or a 2.

                      The style at which Lance plays isn't going to change. The only difference is that Lance won't have the ball in his hands as much.

                        My man you read my mind before I posted it

                        Some times players dont fit in that nice little box.

                        Is G Hill a PG or SG? How about Chauncey Billiups? or Dwayne Wade? Derrick Rose even?

                        Lance might not be your "typical" PG but he is best with the ball in his hands attacking the rim

                            Now is the time to mix rotations and roles. Before the injury bug and before the last stretch. The only hindrance is a possible trade.

                              Off topic, Magicrats avatar... Is jeff Foster 7'6" or does Carlos Boozer lie about his height?
