I don’t mind at all if he feels more comfortable shooting 20-22 footers opposed to 3 pointers as long as he is more efficient there. Now, if he is consistantly making long 2′s with his foot on the line then that would be a different story.

As for my opinion on point guard starters (as of March and early april) the list and reasons go as so:

1) Sasha; He plays within the offense (when he is not in I’m a shooter so I’ll shoot mode) and he is pesky on defense. Also, this would be a great way to warm him up without jeopardizing games (that’s why we hide derek with the starters).

2) Derek; Keep things status quo (it is march, we shouldn’t shake things up too much.) Additionally, this will hide Derek with 4 A.S candidates.

3)Jordan: He has the most raw talent in this position but still fails to play within the offense and is notably inconsistant. Further more, on any given night he is the spark off the bench that seals the deal for an early clinch for a win. If he could do that more consistantly, that would be way more valuable than having him as a descent starter on a team he would be last scoring option in the lineup.

Last and yes, least 4) Shanwow; He has had problems handling the ball lately and has just as big of a problem playing within the offense as Jordan. What really set’s him apart to put him in last is the fact that he is vital as our worthy backup for both PG and SG. Our team has had a lot of problems with our wing players this season and luckily Shannon has been there to make it not so painful all season long. So, keeping him on the bench to be called on when we need him in desperate times is the best thing we could do right now.

5) Lamar Odom; would be #1 on most teams but not ours!
