which is why they work together so well...

I am confused. You said your analysis showed no rise in assists/minute after their second year. Did I miss the first two seasons Bayless played?

You are absolutely correct -- Bayless has not yet played a single minute of regular season NBA basketball. And preseason is a poor place to start. Let's give him more time.

FWIW: Sergio was behind only Chris Paul in total assists this preseason (and ahead of everyone else). And in assists/minute, he was at 0.29, which is in the top 5 in the NBA on a season-long basis. That assumes, of course, that he gets enough minutes in the regular season.

Your man love for the Spanish players on this team and "Nate hate" is borderline unhealthy. In what universe does Nate bench the team's best player and all-star so a rookie (albeit a very good one) can take his spot?

That's just plain silly, and not what I'm suggesting.

Oden
Aldridge
Roy
Fernandez
Rodriguez

Brandon has already stated publicly that he doesn't feel comfortable at the 3, and Rudy would get abused there even worse than Roy ... it is bad juju to force your team's best player(s) out of position for long stretches of a game. We've already seen a small ball lineup of Blake, Rudy, Roy and it didn't look pretty -- and no, replacing Blake with Sergio is not going to make that pig any less of a pig.

I do think that we'll see plenty of lineups with Roy and Rudy both on the floor at the same time, but one of them is going to be manning the "point" and the other at off-guard, while a true small forward (Batum, Martell, Travis) is also in the lineup for defense.

I agree Sergio has improved from last year to this year, but he's not a starter yet ... not even close.

Wow! What a difference a year makes!

Back up PG last year- Sergio

Get ready for the delusional Miller haters to try to convince you this is a downgrade.

It IS a downgrade. Sergio had an amazing game in his rookie season where he scored 20+ points and handed out 11 assists. We should have hung onto him. He was so good that night. We're really missing out....

Not.

Hmmm, I'm just glad crap I wrote a year ago isn't completely bat-shit crazy
